once in a lifetime adrenalin rush - Lemmy.World

we love google (and LLMs)

suicAId
SuicAid, the solution to your problems with suicide.
Is it any wonder these businesses are SO successful
I can't wait to see my old horny comments about anime girls come up.
Ah yes. Because that one Reddit users option holds equal weight to the thousands of professionals in the eyes of an LLM
Then it’ll get worse again.

I’d say it’s not the LLM at fault. The LLM is essentially an innocent. It’s the same as a four year old being told if they clap hard enough they’ll make thunder. It’s not the kids fault that they’re being fed bad information.

The parents (companies) should be more responsible about what they tell their kids (LLMS)

I mean - I don’t think anyone’s solution to this issue would be to put an AI on trial… but it’d be extremely reasonable to hold Google responsible for any potential damages from this and I think it’d also be reasonable to go after the organization that trained this model if they marketed it as an end-user ready LLM.
Yeah that’s my point, too. AI employing companies should be held responsible for the stuff their AIs say. See how much they like their AI hype when they’re on the hook for it!

I’d say it’s more that parents (companies) should be more responsible about what they tell their kids (customers).

Because right now the companies have a new toy (AI) that they keep telling their customers can make thunder from clapping. But in reality the claps sometimes make thunder but are also likely to make farts. Occasionally some incredibly noxious ones too.

The toy might one day make earth-rumbling thunder reliably, but right now it can’t get close and saying otherwise is what’s irresponsible.

Sorry, I didn’t know we might be hurting the LLM’s feelings.

Seriously, why be an apologist for the software? There’s no effective difference between blaming the technology and blaming the companies who are using it uncritically. I could just as easily be an apologist for the company: not their fault they’re using software they were told would produce accurate information out of nonsense on the Internet.

Neither the tech nor the corps deploying it are blameless here. I’m well aware than an algorithm only does exactly what it’s told to do, but the people who made it are also lying to us about it.

Sorry, I didn’t know we might be hurting the LLM’s feelings.

You’re not going to. CS folks like to anthropomorphise computers and programs, doesn’t mean we think they have feelings.

And we’re not the only profession doing that, though it might be more obvious in our case. A civil engineer, when a bridge collapses, is also prone to say “is the cable at fault, or the anchor” without ascribing feelings to anything. What it is though is ascribing a sort of animist agency which comes natural to many people when wrapping their head around complex systems full of different things well, doing things.

The LLM is, indeed, not at fault. The LLM is a braindead cable anchor that some idiot, probably a suit, put in a place where it’s bound to fail.

This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Lemmy would’ve suggested bean diet
Or installing Linux. You’ll still be depressed, but at least you have a good reason now.
And you have a lot to (look forward to) do which might actually help
You’ll also get knee-socks so win/win
I’ve been using Linux for 17 years but they still didn’t issue me my pair of knee-socks. WTF?
Idk, are you using arch? There seems to be a correlation from what I’ve gathered from Lemmy
Yes, actually. Even with a tiling WM!
I feel so left out!
You don’t have time to be depressed when you’re trying to fix xorg.conf. (yeah, I know, super dated reference, Linux is actually so good these days I can’t find an equivalent joke).
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… CRTs on fire from an xorg.conf typo… I configured display servers in the dark cause the screen was black… All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to switch to Wayland.
You haven’t lived until you’ve compiled a 3com driver in order to get token ring connectivity so you can download the latest kernel source that has that new ethernet thing in it.

Editing grub.cfg from an emergency console, or running grub-update from a chroot is a close second.

Adding the right Modeline to xorg.conf seemed more like magic when it worked. 🧙🏼

haha I really like Linux but that’s funny and somehow also true😂
also suggesting that those beans could have been found in a nebula
Or not pooping for days
3 days of intensive treatment. That’ll sort ya
Feeling suicidal? No. Okay then try an all bean diet and see if it helps.
And installing Linux and axe-murdering anyone with a car.
Thankfully, Reddit permanently banned me.
Don't worry, they'll still use your data.
I’d call that karma for Reddit and Google.

If you legitimately got this search result - please fucking reach out to your local suicide hot line and make them aware. Google needs to be absolutely sued into the fucking ground for mistakes like these that are

  • Google trying to make a teensy bit more money

  • Absolutely will push at least a few people over the line into committing suicide.

  • We must hold companies responsible for bullshit their AI produces.

    This seems to not be real (yet) though.
    Is this not real? I’ve done some Googling diligence and it’s been inconclusive - I’d really like to know as there are starry eyed sales people who keep pushing strong for integrating customer facing AI and I’ve been looking for a concrete example of it fucking up that’d leave us really liable. This and the “add glue to cheese” are both excellent examples that I haven’t been able to verify the veracity of.
    I’m not sure how you’d tell unless there is some reputable source that claims they saw this search result themselves, or you found it yourself. Making a fake is as easy as inspect element -> edit -> screenshot.
    Stupid actions in adding unsanitized AI output to search results are real, those very specific memetic searches leading to single Reddit comment seem to not be real

    AshutoshShrivastava (@ai_for_success) on X

    Apology Post: About 7-8 hours ago, I shared my views on how Google AI overview might be disabled in the next 15 days, citing some humorous results shared by users on X. I still believe this could happen due to the AI's inaccurate responses. Unfortunately, my first post of 🧵

    X (formerly Twitter)
    Thank you, internet sleuth!
    Just so others do not need to click etc: they found out it was faked and apologize for spreading fake news.

    I gotchu on the cheese

    My comment - relied on another user’s modified prompt to avoid Google’s incredibly hasty fix

    Google's AI search feature suggested using glue to keep cheese sticking to a pizza - sh.itjust.works

    And another point to notice is I doubt any llm would say “one reddit user suggests”.
    • Be depressed

    • Want to commit suicide

    • Google it

    • Gets this result

    • Remembers comment

    • Sues

    • Gets thousands of dollars

    • Depression cured (maybe)

    Lots of dead famous rich people show that money does not cure depression.
    Not for everyone, but it would help a lot of people who have depression that was caused primarily by financial stress, working in a job/career that they aren’t passionate about, etc…
    Money doesn’t buy happiness but it can help someone who is struggling to meet their basic needs not get stuck in a depressive state. Plus, it can be used in exchange for goods and services that show efficacy against depression.
    What kind of good and services?

    Everyone’s brains are different. For some SSRIs might work. For others, SNRIs. While there are claims of cocaine and prostitutes being helpful for some, that’s not really scientifically proven and there the significant health and imprisonment risks. There is, however, strong evidence for certain psychedelics.

    TL;DR - Drugs might be helpful for some.

    The sibling comment said drugs which may be effective for some people but I’d actually just highlight “leisure” being able to afford to explore when your mind takes you is a luxury that pays off massively for your mental health. I have wanderlust and I’m a programmer, sometimes my legs want to move and, with my understanding boss, I can go out into the world and walk along the beaches or through the forest while I ponder problems… this is a huge boon for my mental health and is something most employees can’t afford due to monetary stresses and toxic employers.
    well at least you’d be suicidal with money!

    i pulled the image from a meme channel, so i dont know if its real or not, but at the same time, this below does look like a legit response

    Leaving my chicken for 10 minutes near a window on a warm summer day and then digging in
    It’s like sushi… kinda
    …does the chicken’s power level need to be over 9000 in order to be safe to eat?
    So you can put raw chicken meat inside your armpit and it’s done? Sounds legit.
    If you have a fever.
    I have read elsewhere that it was faked.
    Turns out AI is about as bad at verifying sources as Lemmy users.
