Good God. A restaurant uses AI to generate menu and this is what it reads.

Finds ja immer interessant, was öffentlich auf Malware-Analyseplattformen hochgeladen wird. Vielleicht schreib ich dem Brudi lieber mal, dass er sich bei dem Laden lieber nicht bewirbt.

Let’s go!! It’s a bit slow and the cursor is invisible (and unsurprisingly the controller buttons don’t do anything), but it’s working!

WeTransfer just changed their ToS to allow them to train AI on any files you transfer through them.

Don't use there service, especially for work that you don't have the right to relicense to them (e.g., commercial work that's exactly the most likely to create the huge files WeTransfer specializes in).

(ETA: this is already going boom so I'm muting it.)

“XAI expects to generate more than $13 billion in annual earnings by 2029, according to numbers revealed by its banker, Morgan Stanley, Bloomberg News reported in June.”

You just know there’s executives in tech companies looking at this story and asking “how can we monetise this” https://futurism.com/chatgpt-mental-health-crises

People Are Becoming Obsessed with ChatGPT and Spiraling Into Severe Delusions

A startling number of ChatGPT uses are developing intense, reality-bending AI delusions. The impacts on their real lives are often disastrous.

Futurism

Ciggy Bringer of Smoke 3d ago

"Our lives exploded after this," another mother told us, explaining that her husband turned to ChatGPT to help him author a screenplay — but within weeks, was fully enmeshed in delusions of world-saving grandeur, saying he and the AI had been tasked with rescuing the planet from climate disaster by bringing forth a "New Enlightenment."

Okay, but Kevin, what if you arrive at this same conclusion about rescuing the planet with a Societal Awakening, but without the prodding of a chatbot? What then?

We already have influencers on various platforms promoting stuff like BetterHelp, so that kind of Damage-to-repair pipeline's already well established.

@GossiTheDog distilled down to the core premise, "how can we help our users literally fuck the AI?"

@GossiTheDog maybe AI was a mistake. But only because of the over population of idiots.

@GossiTheDog CEOs seem to be patient zero.

fuzzyfuzzyfungus 3d ago

@GossiTheDog The segment of consumer-facing tech that knows you are leaving money on the table if you aren't hurting your users is already obsessed with DAUs; so you wouldn't even need to retool the existing documentation.

@GossiTheDog I expect to have a billion quid by the end of the week but I'm a delusional nutjob. Don't see Reuters reporting on that.

@GossiTheDog this would, I presume, be the same Morgan Stanley bankers who said that Twitter was absolutely worth $44B and that Melon was going to make it a $100B company inside of a year?

Richard Stocks 2d ago

@rootwyrm @GossiTheDog The “B” was a typo - it was meant read that he’d turn it into a $100 company.

I think they still over-valued.

Json Doh 2d ago

@richardstocks @rootwyrm @GossiTheDog The "M" is a typo too in Felon's name

@GossiTheDog They're absolutely detached from reality at this point.

@davep we've observed many of such junctions during the last years and almost each is on a new level of being depressingly depraved.

Dunno even how disgusting I find this. No wonder there's probably going to be a 10 year moratorium on "AI" regulation - after that we perhaps won't need one anyway.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)2d ago

Well, two things. If Trump and the Republicans keeps up their current success with the economy then $13B in 2029 dollars will be about $3B in today’s money (the dollar lost around 15% of its value in the first six months of the current regime). If they accelerate (which looks likely, given their complete lack of understanding of how anything works), it could be much less.

Second, they’re selling to the US government, where Musk just fired everyone opposed to giving him money for things that don’t work. So it’s not like xAI actually needs to do anything valuable to be able to raise that revenue. If anything, that would make it worse, because then people would use it (which costs money to xAI), whereas if they just sign large contracts to provide a service that no one uses then revenue equals profit.

@GossiTheDog "Show moves like [...] dress up and undress."

It's like the whole "features" list of this bot was sorted from least to most problematic. And Musk wonders why advertisers don't want to use his platform

@rossmadness @GossiTheDog

Companies are still allowed not to advertise on X in the US?

Viraptor 2d ago

@Life_is @rossmadness @GossiTheDog there are various pressures and the political involvement from Elmo doesn't make things easier. In theory you don't have to, but some leaders feel an ambiguous "or else" being expressed. https://www.firstpost.com/world/united-states/under-pressure-companies-spend-token-amounts-for-ads-on-x-to-avoid-getting-on-musks-bad-side-13875809.html

@thisismissem @GossiTheDog
That stuck out to me, too. It's really funny that the crappy AI generated something that is completely off the mark and they're just like, "sure, yeah, whatever."

I think I'm just numb to the other shit. It's all gross, but in a way that is so routine for these creeps.

@GossiTheDog well, on the bright side, this means they'll be interacting with the rest of us even less frequently? Like maybe they'll starve to death, gazing hopefully at the screen?
