We have put the world in danger with AI, admits ChatGPT creator
very particular choice to say "admits" instead of "claims" here
am I crazy or did this exact same truck-hits-bus story not happen last year, in the same place?
Trucks yearn for the children
Your reaction to chatGPT instantly lets me know how easy it would be to trick you into thinking that you are haunted
"omg it's literally alive!" Two beers, 45 minutes, deck of tarot cards, and I'm charging you 350$ for an exorcism.
"I read an article that it's showing simple self-awareness" two days, mild preparation, hot and cold reading, I can get 60$ for joints laced with sacred sage
"I just spoke to an AI and I'm... rattled to say the least, come with me on this dark journey" twenty minutes. I've got to science it up for you, but I can get you to come back every week to "disentangle the psychological imprint" for 125$

those “we have subjected your boyfriend to an abstract process” memes were funny, should have reblogged a few 😔
we made your boyfriend into a “we have subjected your boyfriend to an abstract process” meme. Yeah, it was funny for a while but the meme's novelty has mostly died down, so his humor's pretty limited now. Yeah, we tried getting extra mileage out of making him a meta joke. Sorry.

Or there is crypto, which to some extent started as a backlash to fractional reserve banking and the shadow banking crisis of 2008, and by last year had matured to the point that it recreated both fractional reserve banking (but without regulation!) and a 2008-style shadow banking crisis. People in crypto did not trust the banks, in part for the good reason that the banks were doing something (maturity transformation) that is both risky and in some deep sense deceptive. But people in crypto did want the benefits of maturity transformation: People with crypto wanted to park it somewhere safe, earn interest and have access to it whenever they wanted; other people wanted to borrow crypto without the risk of having to give it back early. Crypto shadow banks — Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, Genesis, Gemini Earn, FTX — sprung up to offer that service, to borrow short and lend long. Free of most regulation, they could offer the service efficiently, market it aggressively, and lose tons of their customers’ money.

“the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash”, very relatable moment from Sauron there

I hear you. I hear you. I can read you like a book and I know all your moves in advance. You're going to ask me, "what about Waluigi?"
Well, what about Waluigi?
If you wish to see more Waluigi thoughts along these lines, I heartily recommend the ancient classic of Brian David Gilbert's, Waluigi - Unraveled
I should become a big time big beat guy here in 2023. Going to England to visit Fatboy Slim's childhood home, things of that nature
the other funny thing is the way that large neural nets have quickly become commoditised and then optimised to the point that anyone can play with them, and what a disconcerting realisation that is for the companies that hoped to monopolise their use
there's something delightfully charming about the way large language models are so stupidly unfit for purpose and yet everyone is rushing to apply them to every possible problem in a frenzy of bizarre hacks
You're not wrong, but I think that's just generally how new fields progress until engineering best practices can be established. Consider Babbage trying to construct a computer out of gears, or all the pre-Wright Brothers attempts at flying machines, or pre-Google search engines.
Everything looks like a hacked-together kludge until someone builds something that works, and then everyone copies that and iterates off of it.
yes, it's just funnier this time around because the technology in question is doing stuff with language, which makes its mistakes much more entertaining!
