Why it matters: OpenAI is looking to convince skeptics that it is taking sufficient steps to ensure its models are safe as it works toward its goal of super intelligence.

OpenAI appointing a former NSA official to its board. Dude was a higher-up at the National Security Association (which is part of American military and is not a civilian branch of our government), those same cunts who were doing the spying on American communications that Edward Snowden exposed, those metadata bastards (the fuckers!) - sort of makes me think, especially given that example of the IDF using an automated targeted system that was based on 'AI' in Gaza, that all of this bullshit is just going to be a way for different sectors in the military, finance, etc. to optimize and become more efficient somehow, gain greater control over resources and/or people, with some consumer applications thrown in on the side for window dressing.

this shit is straight out of an ep of Black Mirror:

https://www.npr.org/2024/06/12/1198912621/does-artificial-intelligence-deliver-immortality

maybe they should watch that episode before they go through with this nonsense.

people die. it's all part of the human experience. clinging onto what is no longer there is bound to create more heart ache and suffering. people wanting to live forever are delusional. 

I've already encountered someone who wanted help with training a neural network on texts with their ex so they could still talk to them.

What kind of jobs or careers would be immune from automation in the near and distant future? 

Hopefully jobs centered around human interaction, although what I said above makes me concerned even about that.

ChatGPT is bullshit

Recently, there has been considerable interest in large language models: machine learning systems which produce human-like text and dialogue. Applications of these systems have been plagued by persistent inaccuracies in their output; these are often called “AI hallucinations”. We argue that these falsehoods, and the overall activity of large language models, is better understood as bullshit in the sense explored by Frankfurt (On Bullshit, Princeton, 2005): the models are in an important way indifferent to the truth of their outputs. We distinguish two ways in which the models can be said to be bullshitters, and argue that they clearly meet at least one of these definitions. We further argue that describing AI misrepresentations as bullshit is both a more useful and more accurate way of predicting and discussing the behaviour of these systems.

There’s no short-term pressure on Butterflies to make money; the six-month-old startup just raised $4.8 million from tech investors ...

While the interface looks like Instagram, the app’s main twist is that, when signing up, you create an AI character, or Butterfly, that starts generating photos and interacting with other accounts on its own. There is no limit to the number of Butterflies you can create, and they are designed to coexist with human accounts that can also post to the feed and comment.

I feel like there will be a few useful implementations of what we're calling AI in the recent future (chatGPT, image generators, etc.), but I also feel that a backlash of sorts is coming.

We're all going to get very tired very quickly of every fucking company bombarding us with half-baked "solutions" and platforms.  All of them incessantly racing to sell us shit we don't need, packaged as "AI-enhanced", trying to ride this wave of bullshit and empty our wallets as much as they can before we fall off the crest.

This is also assuming there's also not some major privacy issue or leak of troves of personal data due to the increased amount being collected by "AI" systems sold with the promise of making our digital lives better.

“We are trying to … catalyze folks to think about what AI looks like if it’s used for good,” Ipp said, “and what it means to use AI responsibly, ethically and toward solving some of the thorny global challenges that exist in the world.”

hm, that article seems to be subtly suggesting that AI currently isn’t being used for good??? wheresoever did they get that wild & fundamentally baseless idea?!?!!!?1!1?????

That's right, is a new concern about the net and privacy: Dataism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataism

keep in mind that those who are pushing this agenda are radical transhumanists, humans will become increasingly hooked on the internet as the digital realm continues.
