Spot on, but you need to write one that convinces billionaires to go through with funding human intelligence.

@TimMaddog @jensorensen eat the billionaires
@jensorensen the funny thing about "A.I." is that athough they are desperately trying to use it to replace middle-level thought workers, the one profession that can be replaced by them right now without any loss of quality is CEO. can someone pitch that idea to shareholders?
Poligofsky@jensorensen Is there an LLM that generates pitch decks yet?
Virginicus@brent PowerPoint has had an “auto-content” feature for 20 years. Pitch decks were the easiest task.
Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC@jensorensen This is exactly why they don't want human intelligence.
Jim McLaughlin@jensorensen Billionaires do fund HI. They're just called governments. What you might say is that unregulated billionaires should be funding education or be rationally taxed out of existence.
@jensorensen Small bit of data. Elon Musk's recent $45 billion settlement is roughly five times the budget of the US federal government for education.
enoch_exe_inc@jensorensen If AI reaches human-level intelligence (which I currently doubt) wouldn’t it reach similar conclusions?
Dreamwinder@enoch_exe_inc @jensorensen In a sense it already does. Conservatives are convinced all these AI platforms are pro-liberal because they don’t understand that feeding said AIs the sum total of the internet and all available written word results in it returning the clear consensus of human opinion.
@dreamwinder @enoch_exe_inc @jensorensen It isn’t quite that simple. Remember Microsoft Tay back in 2017? It was released to the public for about a day because Microsoft’s researchers made the mistake of allowing it to learn from anyone on the Internet who talk to it, and in a few hours learned every racial slur and defence of Hitler there was.
@enoch_exe_inc @jensorensen Right, but the point of Tay was that the interactions it had from initial release was in effect its training data. Its opinions were changing in real time based on who spoke to it. That setup is much more easily abusable than ChatGPT, in spite of the inherent flaws of both systems.
@dreamwinder @enoch_exe_inc @jensorensen It took a fairly huge effort on OpenAI’s part to make ChatGPT as inoffensive as possible—*mainly* so that it doesn’t attract (as much) negative attention. LLMs with fewer (or without) such restrictions will spew as much nonsense as any human.
@dreamwinder @enoch_exe_inc @jensorensen It’s not necessarily a bad thing. I got into #AIDungeon originally because it would take any idea I gave it, no matter how preposterous, narratively absurd, or socially unacceptable, and run with it. That’s kind of the point of a CYOA game powered by AI.
So, naturally, when OpenAI got wind of what people were doing with their precious GPT-3, they shut it down immediately.
RIP, old AI Dungeon. You were fun to play with during quarantine.
Jeff GriggA good portion of their AI funding has been going to HI.
... to gig workers in foreign countries earning starvation wages.
... just another kind of theft, exploitation, and externalizing of costs and responsibilities.
Csepp 🌢@jensorensen Well, they sometimes finance education, and... Oglaf said it best:
