I stayed up to date on ai and machine learning, including language models. I remember hearing that one learned math from language and wondering where things will go. I watched ai safety videos before they felt relevant. Then I heard Openai, which had a good rep at the time, is releasing their new model online, called ChatGPT. Having played with DungeonAI and NovelAI before I was gonna fiddle with this as well.

Then headlines broke, it became a phenomenon. Even then I figured this would be this week's Thing before getting bored, as was common with these ai.

Down the line I remembered hearing ChatGPT on a gas station ad for some travel app. That was when I realized this is permanent. People who aren't even online are likely hearing about this. Suddenly my niche hobby and hopeful dreams of the future became an actual enshittified crisis.

I don't think I need to explain how everyone using language models now is just god awful for everyone. And the attention hasn't gotten us closer to answering long standing questions of ethics, economic change, what is intelligence or consciousness. We've just got a bunch of the lowest common denominator shouting their answers now.

REETUUUURN THE SLAAAAB

Constrain the design by strict fake rules and you get Monster Hunter.

Listen, teleporting is always so busted that even 7 inches is enough to teleport through doors, fences, or restraints.

Only if your skinny and tuck your feet to the side though, even not though you'll at least be able to jump higher.

It's accessible for new users, easy for old users, but ironically the hardest if you know only just enough to be dangerous.

Sincerely, Someone who broke their desktop gui by tinkering, twice.

From watching the video, he's a great and talented science communicator and a decent man (depending on if the divorce trial was mutually fabricated or real).

But he's a mid scientist that doesn't really deserve to have his work compared to Einstein and Newton like he often is.

He also made up a bunch of macho cool stories about himself that's like Rick Sanchez mixed with an "Alpha Male", and much like both it infected young guys for years to come.

Also bongos.

The official hosting of it has censorship applied after the answer is generated, but from what I heard the locally run version has no censorship even though they could have theoretically trained it to.

Josh Paterson sounds like an Aldi brand Jordan Peterson.

Arguably not natural since it relies on plastic or petroleum to make.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was gonna be a Saddam Hussein or Loss meme.

Thing I hate about exercise, it's a fine line between "feel the burn!" and "you've done irreparable damage".

Feels similar to the Plato quote "those who seek power are unworthy of that power".
