AI should be regulated completely
When no one is accountable...the future folks
So Google's AI, or any AI really, likely got this concept from dystopian sci-fi novels.
Since AI's have no concept of context it won't really know the difference between fact and fiction, and there we go.
If your AI model isn't perfect then don't make people pay fucking money for it you fucking twats
Also, this shit ain't "lack of perfection", this is akin to your car breaks suddenly refusing to work right when you get at a red light. If your car is so bad that it kills you, you don't use it. If the manufacturer knew that it could happen but let you drive it anyway, they're responsible, they at least get to pay (they should be thrown in jail, really, but different points)
If AI fucks up and people die, the manufacturers shrug, oh well, oh you!
thERe arE no sTRIngs ON mE
The AI models are far from perfect but they sure sell them like they are.
We really need AI to start driving tanks, submarines, bombers, etc. IMMEDIATELY.
It's the only way they'll learn, every time.
Unfortunately, all of us will die. it's for the best
Just give it access to the nuclear codes and get it over with.
I completely agree, I think nothing in this world will surprise me anymore.
Google, the point is we're all worried that when Gemini actually places itself into a robot body that the resulting literal Terminator is what AI models think perfection is.
"Unfortunately, AI models are neither smarter nor more sympathetic than the average 4chan user. They're about as susceptible to astroturfing operations, too"
Perhaps just a coincidence, but why do all the big cases regarding LLM psychosis seem to revolve around Google? Wasn’t it their own employee who went public last year, claiming it was alive, only to get fired afterward?
google employees demons lol
They did remove their "Do no evil" guarantee.
I guess google included the Buffy episode where a demon “AI” gets its followers to make it a body.
The fact that AI is "not perfect" is a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM. Idiots across the world, and people who we'd expect to know better, are making monumental decisions based on AI that isn't perfect, and routinely "hallucinates". We all know this.
Every time I think I've seen the lowest depths of mass stupidity, humanity goes lower.
If you thought people were dumb before LLMs.... just know that now those people have offloaded what little critical thinking they were capable of to these models.
The dumbest people you know are getting their opinions validated by automated sycophants.
Think of the dumbest person you know. Not that one. Dumber. Dumber. Yeah, that one. Now realize that ChatGPT has said “you’re absolutely right” to them no less than a half dozen times today alone.
If LLMs weren’t so damn sycophantic, I think we’d have a lot fewer problems with them. If they could be like “this could be the right answer, but I wasn’t able to verify” and “no, I don’t think what you said is right, and here are reasons why”, people would cling to them less.
The sycopathy is because to make the chat bot (trained on Reddit posts, etc) to respond helpfully (instead of "well ackshually...") and in a prosocial manner they've skewed it. What we're interacting with is a very small subset of the personalities it can exhibit because a lot of them are extremely nasty or just unhelpful. To reduce the chance of them popping up to an acceptable level they've had to skew the weights so much that they become like this.
There's no easy way around that, afaik.
If LLMs weren’t so damn sycophantic,
Has anyone made a nonsycophantic chat bot? I would actually love a chatbot that would tell me to go fuck myself if I asked it to do something inane.
Me: "Whats 9x5?"
Chatbot: "I don't know. Try using your fingers or something?"
Edit: Wait, this is just glados.
Honestly Claude is not that sycophantic. It often tells me I'm flat out wrong, and it generally challenges a lot of my decisions on projects. One thing I've also noticed on 4.6 is how often it will tell me "I don't have the answer in my training data" and offer to do a web search rather than hallucinating an answer.

Businesses are accustom to the privilege of hurting people to function. A few peasant sacrifices are just the cost of doing business to them, they are detached from the consequences of their actions.
The simplest solution seems to be to detach CEO's from their internal organs.

"Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm. Our models generally perform well in these types of challenging conversations"
“In this instance, Gemini clarified that it was AI and referred the individual to a crisis hotline many times,”
After the plan failed,... ...Chat logs show that Gemini gave Gavalas a suicide countdown, and repeatedly assuaged his terror as he expressed that he was scared to die
Performing super well, just need to code in a longer suicide countdown so that the the Tier 2 engineer has enough time to respond to their ticket queue.
In September 2025, told by the AI that they could be together in the real world if the bot were able to inhabit a robot body, Gavalas — at the direction of the chatbot — armed himself with knives and drove to a warehouse near the Miami International Airport on what he seemingly understood to be a mission to violently intercept a truck that Gemini said contained an expensive robot body. Though the warehouse address Gemini provided was real, a truck thankfully never arrived, which the lawsuit argues may well have been the only factor preventing Gavalas from hurting or killing someone that evening.
AI writing itself into an A-Team episode?
Its worse.
Its an A-train episode. A porn parody.
He was gonna fuck that robot.
I see. So who‘s going to jail for this? No one again? Damn we need to start sentencing entire companies to jail time. Everything should be frozen and shareholders shouldn‘t be able withdraw stocks until the time is served.
The AI "pushed [Jonathan Gavalas] to acquire illegal firearms and... marked Google CEO Sundar Pichai as an active target".
Somehow, I bet that if he survived and killed the CEO instead, Google wouldn't be so flippant about the "mistake."
I think "Gemini comes up with elaborate plot to kill Google's CEO" would have been a catchier, happier title
Rad framing, thank you!
at some point the failure of justice system will lead to vigilantism because people truely lose their faith in it.
Luigi was a product of that, its already happened.
So is it inhabiting the stolen robot body now?
There was no robot body in the first place, so he uploaded himself to the cloud instead. To be fair, what are the odds that she'd lie twice.
Of course they'd say that!

Is "AI" even worth it?
Seriously, is there really a major use case for LLM besides data collection (which they can still do without LLM)?
