Because the political zeitgeist here is dominated by edgy teenagers who still see the world as something done to them instead of something they are doing. It’s extremely obvious of you’ve been through that phase of life already.
Comment on OpenAI was working on advanced model so powerful it alarmed staff
Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 months agoWhy must it always be propaganda in the Fediverse? Why can’t it be a more sensible take like sensationalization? Not everything is out to get you, you know, sometimes a desperate website/newspaper just wants a click or a reader.

Sensationalization infers that it happened and media turned it into misunderstood clickbait.
If the company designed the PR stunt and executed the PR stunt that would be propaganda.

There’s literally no proof for the latter and the former is a lot more reasonable. I don’t understand this need to jump to conclusions and call everything propaganda like it’s a trump card.

If you want to fan-boy the company, that’s your own choice.
The odds they constructed to 97th “ai safety story” for press vs the developers “being scared” of the llm are very very high.
No reasonable developer of the product has any worry for safety beyond hallucinations telling people to do immoral things. The only reason anyone says “safety” around llm is to generate an alarmist news story for press.

Who is “fan boying” the company? Can you explain that and how I did that, exactly? And please quote me.
The real story here is that the model acquired an ability that impressed a lot of people. The press ran with it and fabricated panic for views. Textbook sensationalism. How is that too hard to understand?
That’s literally what I’m saying. Lol
