  That was only my first point. In my second and third point I explained why education is not going to solve this problem. That’s like poisoning their candy and then educating them about it.

  I’ll add to say that these AI applications only work because people trust their output. If everyone saw them for the cheap party tricks that they are, they wouldn’t be used in the first place.

  The fact that they lack sentience or intentions doesn’t change the fact that the output is false and deceptive. When I’m being defrauded, I don’t care if the perpetrator hides behind an LLM or not.

  It’s rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you. And even if you do, it will leave evidence.

  As this article shows, AIs are the ideal mob henchmen because they will do the most heinous stuff while creating plausible deniability for their tech bro boss. So no, AI is not “just like most people”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI models routinely lie when honesty conflicts with their goals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so your point is that people who interact with these AI systems will know that it can’t be trusted and that will alleviate the negative consequences of its misinformation.

  The problems with that argument are many:

  • The vast majority of people are not AI experts and do in fact have a lot of trust in such systems

  • Even people who do know often have no other choice. You don’t get to talk to a human, it’s this chatbot or nothing. And that’s assuming the AI slop is even labelled as such.

  • Even knowing that the information can be misleading does not help much. If you sell me a bowl of candy and tell me that 10% of them are poisoned, I’m still going to demand non-poisoned candy. The fact that people can no longer rely on accurate information should be unacceptable.

  Congratulations, you are technically correct. But does this have any relevance for the point of this article? They clearly show that LLMs will provide false and misleading information when that brings them closer to their goal.

  It would be cool if he did this as a protest in solidarity with marginalized groups against an unfair rule. But he never even claimed that was his motivation. Instead, it looks to me like he threw a fit after underperforming during the start of the tournament.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Magnus knows that’s not how the rules work. And they didn’t suddenly whack him with a disqualification, he withdrew himself after being told to change. In his own words “fine, then I’m out. Like, fuck you”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A player broke the rules, which have been consistently applied for a long time, and refused to change after his first warning. Do you expect FIDE to make an exception just because he’s the top contender?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Come on now. This really isn’t a high bar and it only applies to the top tournaments. They will allow any legwear that is not jeans. Literally every professional sports has some form of equipment requirement and chess is probably one of the cheapest.

  If you think world championship contenders can’t be expected to afford normal trousers, what do you think athletes spend on running shoes, baseball gloves and ice skates?

  It’s clear from Trump’s first term that he is not constrained by “optics” or “precedent” at all. He already pardoned a large number of his allies for personal gain. He was always going to abuse the system regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thousands of UK farmers protest against inheritance tax hike⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s really no need to liquidate anyway. If the farm is even remotely profitable, the revenue will be much more than the tax payments. And even if the owner does need the liquidity for some reason, it’s perfectly normal to borrow against assets. That’s just cost of capital.

  Or you could just stop speeding. If you think that breaking the law and taking the risk of injuring/killing another human being is more important than a little annoyance, you should get your priorities straight.
