Al SuttonThis should be on TV every day, possibly multiple times per day…. #AI

normis 👹@stux@mstdn.social @alsutton I only worry that this uncle Fred will not believe legitimate news and will say it's also AI.

Solitha@EndlessMason @normis @stux The irony of this is that someone will, no doubt, claim this video is all real people spreading disinformation about how convincing AI is, and of course you can still tell the difference!

If nothing is real, then anything can be believed. If you don't have an Uncle Fred, you can create one using AI and try to convince him about "fake reality". We now live in a #Kafkaocean #Dadaist Age, and #RodSerling and #PhilipKDick were prophets. 
Craig Duncan@JPK_elmediat @sir_toootenstein @normis @stux
Exactly. Videos like this offer no way of helping people determine what they should trust. It can and will backfire if the Uncle cannot determine who to trust in the real world in the first place.

My camera shoots fascists*tears out hair, screams into the void*
About 30 years ago, before the internet as we know it, a friend went way off the conspiracy deep end. UFOs, being followed by the FBI, lizard people, the whole bit.
Those pictures of Bill Clinton with aliens on the cover of National Enquirer at the supermarket checkout stand? They were in fact REAL. See, too many people were finding out the truth, so by putting those pictures on the cover of tabloids, it discredited those who saw through the government's coverup.
Airtight logic.
So, of course, the video showing a government official pulling his human skinsuit off to reveal the lizard person underneath is totally real. They just want you to *think* it's AI. This video is just another sophisticated op to discredit those who know the truth.

We are so fucking doomed.

Yeah, I read that. It's all so absolutely batshit bonkers.

FUCK.
Yes, we are definitely #doomed for sure
Jenica@clintruin @MamaLake @alsutton
This is 100% correct.
Bluedepth@clintruin @Mikal @alsutton LOL, it’s such a surreal feeling to be coming from the other side of this article.
Ari Gardens as a VerbI was in one of my martial arts classes a couple of weeks ago and one of the students in the class was talking about exactly this. Their wife had been using a chatbot and had told it her exact birthdate and it came back with all this astrological and spiritual crap, and it was apparently, quoting the person in the class, "so exact and so accurate" that he became convinced. Then he started talking about the idea that the AI was sentient and it was going to save the world because it knew all of this spiritual stuff. So, yeah, ordinary people are getting sucked into this and believing that it is something special. It's like the new QAnon (to which I lost a partner in 2020). It is scary as hell to me!
@arisummerland @Mikal @alsutton
It should be as scary as hell to any rational, thinking human being.

@arisummerland @clintruin @alsutton
Wow, that is scary. Condolences about losing the partner to QAnon. I've heard that story a few times, but no one I know closely.
It. Was. Excruciating.
They got radicalized by gamers on YouTube. it sounds corny as hell, but that was the onboarding, and there was no looking back.
I could no longer have actual conversations with them about anything real, and the therapist we were seeing to try to save our relationship completely skirted around the entire issue, allowing my partner to continue to have these absolutely delusional beliefs about the world.
I couldn't do anything either. It was like they died. I had no idea who they were anymore. There was this conspiracy-theory-believing stranger in my bed all of a sudden. It happened over just a few months, like a virulent cancer. It would've been better if they had died, honestly.
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@arisummerland @Mikal @clintruin @alsutton the people who allowed all this to happen have a lot to pay for....
@Lazarou @Mikal @clintruin @alsutton Yet, they never will pay for it. People have got to stop worshiping billionaires.

@arisummerland @clintruin @alsutton
That is terrifying, truly. Fuuuuck.
Fat_Farang@clintruin @Mikal @alsutton Perhaps all the LLMs are fashioned after the egos of the people at the top of tech. AI's are coded versions of Zuck, Musk, Bezos, etc. as a part of their drive to live forever. AI Luddites Unite!
Snark Week GlobalSome of them would have been convincing. I think asking questions back is very important, because it sends their LLM off track. I mean stateful questions where you go into their previous answers and life experiences. Even basic showing of interest in their life will cause confabulation overload, as there is no life that they are allowed to tell you about, so they have to conjure up something fake, which becomes exponentially more difficult to keep consistent.

Robin Barton@alsutton Well done and should be shared with high school students also
Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 
Orion Ussner kidder@alsutton Well that video is far far too convincing. I thought I could spot AI, but damn, man. I wouldn't have.
Important lesson.
@alsutton It occurred to me after the fact that I've now seen several "demonstrations" of this new software, and this could absolutely be a deliberate viral marketing campaign.
I think it's not unlikely that in a couple of weeks, we'll find out they spent MONTHS tweaking these videos to be as believable as they are, and that doing that at home is much, much harder.
Just an educated guess.

Wm.sonHmmm. Star Trek TNG covered this sorta!
BARCLAY: As far as Moriarty and the Countess know, they're half way to Meles Two by now. This enhancement module contains enough active memory to provide them experiences for a lifetime.
PICARD: They will live their lives and never know any difference.
TROI: In a sense, you did give Moriarty what he wanted.
PICARD: In a sense. But who knows? Our reality may be very much like theirs. All this might be just be an elaborate simulation running inside a little device sitting on someone's table. Well, we have a newborn star to study. Mister Barclay, you will keep that safe?
BARCLAY: Aye, sir.
(everyone else leaves)
BARCLAY: Computer, end programme.

Robin@alsutton we don't want it, we never asked for it, the only good and responsible thing we should do now is to burn the servers, the drives, the idea, the bloody lot, to ashes!
zvhxxl@robchapman @alsutton Better make software that recognises AI and puts a big red stamp on it. Preferably some app you can easily install on your home P.C. without depending on (foreign) big-tech servers.
Engineers, this is your next challenge.
