A lotta people asking their ai assistant how to reap something other than what they sow these days…

You just gotta appreciate that the most deterministic part of the code base is the predatory lootbox system.

Oh my god, The Guardian with the sneer:

Take a look at Sam Altman. I mean, actually do it. Go to Google images, where you can find countless photos of the OpenAI boss smiling in a kind of wan genius way, the humble lost puppy of Silicon Valley. But I urge you to simply cover the bottom half of his face in any of these pictures, and you will immediately clock that Sam has the sad-psycho eyes of the lost woman’s boyfriend who the police have asked to front the missing person’s appeal. Please come home, Sheila – we’re all worried sick and we just want you back.

They insist on putting ever more important things (now it’s our souls and minds! lol and lmao) into ever more complex and failure-prone systems, none of these motherfuckers have built or maintained a computer in decades.

Right, sure he picked the most glorified fantasy race out there, “but evil”. When in reality he’s a Duergar at best:

Personality Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic,[11][20] the lives of the gray dwarves were bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they viewed their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of duergar pride.

Sounds about right for the joyless world he imagines his ideal society would represent.

I would definitely hate to be burdened with an IQ. Such a terrible thing to be born with

A pal posed the theory that Matt Wordpress acts like he got ejected from some polycule and now I can’t unsee it

It’s the parable of the drowning man turning away all help because god will save him, all over again (except it’s floods and mudslides and forest fires)

The industry called it “field engineering” previously, and “customer support” prior to that; renames happened every time the execs heard how this portion of their business is only a cost center and can easily be done by chat bots (to which the customer success people would say, good luck with that).

What a blessed world we live in - 2014 a homeless person had to learn to code in order to deserve the things they need to live. Today, they just need to become a prompt engineer. The trajectory of the world bends towards justice, after all!

Ah yes, the cia is no stranger to the artifice of intelligence.

See that sucker over there? If I don’t mug him, somebody else, probably a guy with much looser morals than me, will. [pulls down the balaclava]
