"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Selling knives that talk and tell you to kill yourself to children is murder.
You're refusing to recognize the grooming angle to this.
You're refusing to recognize the tool angle to this, so that makes two of us.
Selling tools that kill people, knowing that they are dangerous, should have consequences.
Would the world really be a worse place if Sam Altman were tried for murder? What's the problem?
You are describing knifes, and forks, and cars, and pools, and...
I'm losing patience. I'm obviously fucking not talking about regular fucking objects, a knife doesn't fucking talk and convince you to kill yourself. There's an obvious categorical difference between objects, and tools designed to trick you into thinking they're intelligent. It's murder. Someone needs to face consequences.
Why would it be bad if Sam Altman went to prison? Would the world be a worse place? Why are you protecting him?
No, a knife just severes arteries and makes you bleed out.
A knife doesn't pretend to be your friend and convince you to sever your arteries. Categorically different.
Answer my question. Why would it be bad for Sam Altman to be tried for murder? If we decided that the owners of AI companies were culpable for the behavior of their chatbots and the consequences of their actions, wouldn't that solve the problem?
Categorically different, one kills you, the other just talks. (it doesn't talk, but I'll humor you)
