Comment on Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved

  I’ve said this a few times in a different way and I always get downvoted. The fact is that the people who will use the LLMs to think for them, were not gonna think a lot in the first place.

    This is true, but we don’t need people putting glue on their pizza. These people used to have a person to ask now they’ll be asking Sam Altman

      Well I would make the argument that someone stupid enough to do such a thing kinda deserves whatever consequences their actions have.

        The rest of us will be stuck with those consequences also. When idiots are at work, third party always suffers.

        Sometimes things aren’t obvious unless you already have the knowledge. If an AI tool tells a young person cleaning their first apartment to combine household cleaners, are they stupid for doing so? Maybe. They may not have the experience to know. Stupid people deserve to live free from harm too, and we’re all a little stupid.

        There’s a balance to be struck.

        Strongly disagree. Survival of the fittest based eugenics is not acceptable. Stupid people don’t deserve to suffer.

      No, we were juat eating tide pods. Dumb gonna do what dumb gonna do. The only real issue with llms is that their training data is stolen, and that theyre currently not that useful due to hallucinations and lacking logical reasoning.

    What do you all mean by “thinking”? Forming opinions or solving problems?

    • Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Both.

  The problem is that before LLMs, they had to actually put forward some effort to produce content on the internet, which at least kept the amount of thoughtless content down somewhat. Now the barrier to entry is practically zero, all while thieving people’s hard work without compensation and burning ridiculous amounts of resources to do so.

  Not when companies force them on you as well.

    Ask the machine to generate a script to ask the machine to generate a list of 100 prompts and query the machine with each prompt over the course of an 8 hour workday

      I actually know for a fact many kiwi there just give it a good morning to raise the numbers.

      But the fact it, I have friends in different software consultancies and each one of them is trying to sell their ChatGPT wrapper to other companies very expensively and forcing their employees to use it as a “gotta use our own tool” argument, or pushing it into stuff that they have no place in, but because it might grant those people promotions (since the non tech people will get impressed). It’s a shirty state of things.

    That sounds like a terrible company, NGL. I’m sorry there aren’t other options for you.
