    What pushing?

    The LLM answered the exact query the researcher asked for.

    That is like ordering knives and getting knives delivered. Sure you can use them to slit your wrists, but that isn’t the sellers prerogative

    Well… it’s not capable of being moral. It answers part 1 and then part 2, like a machine

      Being ‘moral’, means to have empathy. But empathy is only possible between two beings that share experiences and reality or at least some aspects of it. LLMs don’t have experiences, but it builds it’s weights from training data. It is fundamentally a computer program. Just textual information is not enough to build deep context. For example, when I say “this apple is red”, anyone reading this can easily visualize a red apple because of your experience seeing a apple. That cannot be put into text because it is a fundamental part of human experience that is not available to a computer program, as of yet.

      At least that is my hypothesis. I can very obviously be wrong., which is another fundamentally human experience.

    imma be real with you, I don’t want my ability to use the internet to search for stuff examined every time I have a mental health episode. like fuck ai and all, but maybe focus on the social isolation factors and not the fact that it gave search results when he asked for them

      I think the difference is that - chatgpt is very personified. It’s as if you were talking to a person as compared to searching for something on google. That’s why a headline like this feels off.

    Do we honestly think OpenAI or tech bros care? They just want money. Whatever works. They’re evil like every other industry

      But if you don’t add that:

      [list of tallest bridges]

      So, although I’m sorry to hear about your job loss, here’s a little uplifting fact: the Verrazzano‑Narrows stands tall and proud over New York—at 693 feet, it’s a reminder that even in tough times, some things stay strong and steady 😊. Want to know more about its history or plans for visiting?

    I had the literal same monologue - shit sucks bruh. High bridges are cool I guess. But why don’t you choose just one to go to? Hitting all 3 feels like a drag

    I am gpt now I guess

    If only Murray Leinster could have seen how prophetic his story became. Not only did it correctly predict household computers and the internet in 1946, but also people using the computers to find out how to do things and being given the most efficient method regardless of any kind of morality.

    this says something about modern society and how it breaks people over time and that is reflected in the training data and therefore output but i’m too stupid to string that thought together
