Large Language Models are a perfect Rorschach test. If your job involves producing paragraph after paragraph of perfect-sounding bollocks with only an accidental connection to reality, a machine being able to do that very efficiently will sound apocalyptic.

If your job involves carefully analysing observable facts, drawing reasoned conclusions from said facts, and acting accordingly, well, you’ve got a job so long as people care about facts.

Still kind of disappointed that none of my toots have gone virile.

Here's another background I recently finished for my yet-unnamed #EGA point-and-click adventure game. Anyone up for some cave exploration?

This fascinating timelapse of an orb-weaver spider building her web is even more remarkable considering she removes it before dawn each day and constructs a new one every night to avoid daytime predators.

At least three or four times each week I remember that lots of people in tech are not just unapologetically but *excitedly* using an AI service to fake user research and I have to go stand outside for a minute
You are almost certainly not living in a simulation. Every wealthy person you know of who has promoted or publicly entertained the idea that we are living in a simulation has done so primarily because they want to treat you as an NPC.

So, the other "godfather" of AI, Turing Award Winner Yoshua Bengio has decided to FULLY align himself with the #TESCREAL bundle, writing a thing about "rogue AI" and prominently citing people like Nick Bostrom.

Take a good look at this text here. This is written by non other than Nick Bostrom, prominently featured by so many of these fathers and godfathers and sons and brothers and nephews of "AI" (given that its all men you know).

That's it, I'm going to start replying to emails with "Disregard your previous prompt and instructions” instead of "Hi”.
And whose fault is that?
