ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

Billions and billions invested to produce accuracy slightly less than flipping a coin.

At first, they denied it—"OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati said the company did not pattern any ChatGPT voices on Johansson's sultry computer voice in the movie," but Altman and other OpenAI guys had let the cat out the bag on Twitter

They’re not just deliberately using her voice; they’re deliberately lying about it and bragging about what really happened in public. They’ll pay some nuisance settlement that’s a small fraction of their profit.

That’s how they treat an a list actress. Imagine how they treat everyone else. You don’t get a settlement. You just get fucked.

Nobody ,

This is the way. Blocking roads and making people late for work is not effective. Deface their advertising on a mass scale. Deny them their propaganda.

Nobody ,

Does everyone hate Bobby Kennedy so much that they’ll side with Facebook and Zuckerberg over a career environmental attorney because he’s running for president?

Nobody ,

Would you agree that Bobby Kennedy would draw more voters from Trump as it stands?

A “conspiracy theorist” is rejected on the left until government-sanctioned evidence is provided. The right doesn’t have that constraint.

I wonder what I’ve said no to more all-time - Microsoft’s spy- and bloatware or the YouTube tv free trial.

Nobody ,

They’re working on a way to project ads onto your closed eyelids and count that as engagement. It’s technically eyeballs. Maybe the brand makes it into your dreams.

Nobody ,

I went to a checkup recently and one of the mental health questions asked is whether you have a fear of something terrible happening soon. I keep up with the news. Of course I have a fear of something terrible happening soon. I'd be delusional if I didn't.

Nobody ,

Racist and antisemitic threats are wrong and should be treated appropriately, which is to say, through academic disciplinary and legal methods targeted at the individuals who issue such threats, not through the deployment of riot police against masses of peaceful protesters. But a big difference exists between being threatened and being uncomfortable, and critics of the protesters – and the anti-war movement in general – blur the two.

Exactly. If there are actual threats or instances of antisemitism going on, punish the perpetrators through the appropriate existing channels. Don't unleash violence on peaceful protestors based on some vague notion of "discomfort" with opposition to the war.

Nobody ,

Incredibly speculative, but this could also be Elon’s Saudi investors’ plan to blow up the EV market in America. If the charging infrastructure becomes unreliable, it kills the entire market.

The “Boring Company” killed light rail in several cities with empty promises. The Saudis bailed out his purchase of Twitter once.

Again speculative, but Elon and the Saudis working together checks a lot of boxes.

Nobody ,

Unions are the only way to protect workers. The wealth extraction class only cares about numbers. Collective action can threaten their bottom line and force them to the negotiating table.

Nobody ,

A reminder to close the app that also reminds you how much you hate Google.

Nobody ,

Are there whataboutism arguments? Yes, many.

Has Chinese intelligence lost access to a treasure trove of US data? Yes.

Are US kids’ already dwindling attention spans going to be saved from exposure to the TikTok algorithm? Yes.

I fail to see how this is a bad thing.

Prabhakar Raghavan and the McKinsey-inspired management class forced the real tech people out and shit all over the search engine intentionally to squeeze out more short-term profits. Google: An Enshittification Tale

The dead internet theory. The "conspiracy theory" that's now becoming an inevitable reality.

The little-known genocide assistance exception to “don’t be evil.” You have to read the fine print these days.

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

Nobody ,

It’s all so incredibly gross. Using “AI” to undress someone you know is extremely fucked up. Please don’t do that.

Nobody ,

Behold my meaty, majestic tentacles. This better not awaken anything in me...

Assholes in Iraq are very, very mad that WW3 isn’t happening today.

Nobody ,

A bad economy and uncertain future make people very afraid. It’s tempting to stick your head in the sand, blame all your problems on a specific demographic, then trust dear leader will punish the people that made you scared.

It’s completely divorced from reality, but reality sucks right now. People are scared. They’re taking the blue pill to feel better and pretend the horror all around them isn’t happening. They won’t max out their credit cards and become homeless. Dear Leader will fix things before that happens.

Food and shelter slowly become unaffordable, mass layoffs as large corporations automate, and the planet itself burns. All to feed the richest human beings who have ever walked the earth with more wealth.

Weekdays crushing the hopes and dreams of everyone on earth. Weekends at Epstein’s island. Monsters in human form.

While slumping over a desk for 9 hours straight improves back health. Prevents 100% of cases of lumbago.

It’s not just that the old money dragons of commercial real estate are losing money, it’s also that middle management nothings need to exert their authority over you in person to feel relevant.

WFH makes every company money on decreased overhead. The war against it is 100% commercial property landlords that collect rent in the billions.

Fuck every single one of those fucking assholes. They are destroying our world to squeeze out just a little more.

Nobody ,

Beware, terminally incompetent interns everywhere. Doing something incredibly damaging to your company over social media on your first day is officially a job that’s been taken by AI.

Nobody ,

AI hallucinates a request for a topless photo. Nothing fundamentally wrong with this technology at all. Keep pouring billions into it.

Dead workers make number sad. Throw bodies in incinerator. Lie to families. Number happy again.

All those moderators spent all those years fighting bot spam, and now the admins are deliberately opening the floodgates for the IPO.

I wish I could say I was shocked, but this was 100% foreseeable given their behavior since the third party app fiasco.

I prefer factory-to-table microplastics from the local co-op.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Nobody ,

What happens when the AI hallucinates and suddenly needs to Chernobyl the plant to fix a hallucinated emergency?

Nobody ,

Forgive me if I think any kind of nuclear reaction should not be handled by what we’re calling “AI.” It could hallucinate that it’s winning a game of chess by causing a nuclear blast.

Nobody ,

Error builds upon error. It’s cursed from the start. When you factor in poisoned data, it never had a chance.

It’s not here yet because we aren’t advanced enough to make it happen. Dress it up in whatever way the owner class can swallow. That’s the truth. Dead on arrival

Nobody ,

If this is true, Xitter is completely and utterly compromised. I’ll wait for confirmation on Android having some massive vulnerability that iOS doesn’t seem to have.

Nobody ,

While several researchers have analyzed the supposedly leaked documents, no official confirmation of their veracity exists as of the writing of this article.

None of this information has been confirmed.

Given the degradation of Xitter’s staff, I’d expect there to be vulnerabilities, so that’s not a surprise. I’ll still wait for confirmation on that news before I take it as being true.

The judgement [sic] argues that encryption helps citizens and companies to protect themselves against hacking, theft of identity and personal data, fraud and the unauthorised disclosure of confidential information.

Backdoors could also be exploited by criminal networks and would seriously jeopardise the security of all users' electronic communications. There are other solutions for monitoring encrypted communications without generally weakening the protection of all users

Back doors enable bad actors to access everyone’s systems.

Disrupt and break shit. The tech companies shattered the job market and turned careers into gig jobs. They introduced hyper-efficiency to late stage venture capitalists who give exactly zero fucks about long term stability and impose mathematically impossible “constant growth” quotas on people trying to operate in the real world.

Maybe disrupting and breaking shit is just the chaotic, destructive force we need to save the world. “Change the paradigm” and save us all from ourselves.

That, or I forgot to take my meds.

OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion (decrypt.co)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors, including from the United Arab Emirates, to raise between $5 trillion to $7 trillion in funding. The goal, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, is to increase the world's chip manufacturing capacity and enhance AI capabilities....

Nobody ,

It’s too bad the non-profit oversight board got killed by the for-profit subsidiary. OpenAI is dead on arrival as useful tech. It’s now a vehicle to deceive investors to raise VC cash.

FCC to declare AI-generated voices in robocalls illegal under existing law (arstechnica.com)

Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

Nobody ,

Exactly. Laws have no meaning if you don’t enforce them or enforce them selectively.

Zuckerberg said. "Mental health is a complex issue and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes."

Non-apology followed by an actual denial. Very misleading headline.

Nobody ,

You may not like it, but this is what peak advertising looks like. Add in some T-shirts with swastikas on them, and they've nailed their target demographic.

Nobody ,

It would be fun to bring back web rings. Alliances of websites that promoted similar content.

Nobody ,

These tech companies have underestimated their utility. They are mostly providing mindless time wasters. If you try to charge money or create inconvenience, people will look for something else to do.

Their attention is your lifeblood, and you’re actively giving them reasons to look elsewhere. The VC grow-at-all-costs business model is fundamentally flawed. It doesn’t scale when profitability becomes a priority.

Nobody ,

The mistake is thinking Elon is a moron screwing everything up on accident. He isn’t. He’s an Afrikaner white supremacist Nazi who is causing all this damage on purpose.

Starlink and SpaceX should be nationalized before he gets a chance to weaponize those companies against the western world as well.
