Is it in decline? I mean, I want to believe it, but I haven’t seen any hard data on that.

I don’t think I suggested it wasn’t worrisome, just that it’s expected.
If you think about it, AI is tuned using RLHF, or Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback. That means the only thing AI is optimizing for is “convincingness”. It doesn’t optimize for intelligence, anything seems like intelligence is literally just a side effect as it forever marches onward towards becoming convincing to humans.
“Hey, I’ve seen this one before!” You might say. Indeed, this is exactly what happened to social media. They optimized for “engagement”, not truth, and now it’s eroding the minds of lots of people everywhere. AI will do the same thing if run by corporations in search of profits.
Left unchecked, it’s entirely possible that AI will become the most addictive, seductive technology in history.

Turns out it doesn’t really matter what the medium is, people will abuse it if they don’t have a stable mental foundation. I’m not shocked at all that a person who would believe a flat earth shitpost would also believe AI hallucinations.

Sensationalist headline about science fiction.
No shit it’s “possible” despite being hopelessly beyond today’s technology.
- Comment on It’s Time To Go Back to Web 1.0 1 week ago:
Yeah that stuff bugs the shit out of me. It’s like people just discovered they can send HTML to a browser.
Skipping that whole loop would be far more efficient but it’s not cool to do that any more.

Depends on your location in the world. Which shows just how arbitrary the price actually is.

I suspect you are all too right.

I am self-employed. So myself, I guess.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
It’s risk/reward. If brain chips made me twice as productive or intelligent, I’d probably tolerate a lot more risk than if it was just a way to check my Instagram notifications without pulling out my phone.

Is a killer a good person?
Well yeah, sometimes! It is very context dependent.

Not all AI is made equally. There are Apache licensed LLMs.
- Comment on Black Mirror AI 1 week ago:
It absolutely doesn’t. The only model that has “gone nuts” is Grok, and that’s because of malicious code pushed specifically for the purpose of spreading propaganda.

AI, please write my thesis in the style of Shakespeare. Good luck detecting THAT as AI writing.

2 person classes would be a dream compared to the overburdened 30+ person classes of today. You get half of a private tutor? Hell yeah.
- Comment on Time Stop 2 weeks ago:
See that’s the clever thing about this joke. They’re playing off of the regular victim blaming trope “it’s your fault for being dressed like that” but he actually says “for being careless walking”.
The implication was exactly what you thought, until it’s expertly subverted because it turns out he’s literally saving her from danger.

Yeah no worries, I was just being silly by intentionally reading your comment in an overly literal way. I don’t think anyone actually believed you were implying it was a women-only issue.

Hmm yes, that’s definitely a women only problem that doesn’t also affect me because I’m a man.

Nobody can tell you, and if they say they do know, they’re selling snake oil.

Federation, mostly. Places like Lemmy and Mastodon aren’t obsessed with optimizing ad spend, so there’s a lot lees incentive to enshittify.

Haha, as if anyone actually asks that. A gap gets you automatically rejected by the employment AI, long before humans see it.
- Comment on French culture 4 weeks ago:
Really it’s more that French politicians are properly accountable to the people, who will protest and strike frequently. That’s what makes French politics great, not the leaders but the citizens.

Clearly not enough money and eyes, because it got hacked.

Sure, but this is a very obscure project. It has few eyes holding it accountable.
