Spread the joy. Spread the good work πŸ€™

some poor company's AI

Fuck you, those bastards have billions of dollars and zero ethics. Let them eat a great big bucket of salt.

Random philosophical question - If Sam Altman is billions in debt, is he richer, or poorer than us? I know it's a silly, mostly rhetorical question, but for whatever reason my brain found the idea interesting

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 56 points 4 weeks ago

Elementary, my dear Watson.

If he faces the consequences for his actions, he is poor. If he has people to do that for him, he is rich.

Wealth is measured in power and sway in capitalist society, not cash. If you can write a check to a lobbyist to get them to change a bill for you that you never voted on or participated in congress to enact, you are rich.

When you owe hundreds of dollars you have a problem.

When you owe millions of dollars your creditors have a problem.

When you owe billions of dollars, society has a problem.

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

Well, it would be his company in debt and not him

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

his relationship to capital makes him a different class and therefore able to exploit the working class. bottom line is, if he’s cash poor it doesn’t matter; he’s a piece of trash.

I have found that AI acts almost exactly like my text predictor in my chats, not very well.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 36 points 4 weeks ago

Well, it's just a spicy stochastic autocomplete, so that tracks.

[–] Masamune@piefed.social 31 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This comment was typed entirely by hand. The comment below will be typed entirely by text prediction. Let's see which one makes more sense.

This is the one I have no idea what is it just a minute ago I am on my way to the hospital now.

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 30 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Hope you called an Uber, don't stroke and drive.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

But what if I can have a stroke with my left hand while steering with the right one?

I mean... LLM is literally that. There is a reason why it's called AI among marketing buffs, not among serious researchers or at the IT-specialized universities.

This is the kind of first world anarchism I want to see lol

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How do I either replicate this or donate AI slop "papers"?

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if they accept AI slop, but if you want to write a satirical paper you can send it with the information from their contact page

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the new hobby!

I mean, it does identify it as being in-universe, not irl.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 19 points 4 weeks ago

But wouldn't it just be wrong about the Star Wars lore instead? Either way, it's not correct lol

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

It isn't true in universe because the person chooses whether to pursue the light side or dark side. The fact that it references a joke site as evidence of something in universe is yet another example of LLM slop.

They have fixed it already to note it is a parody site, but that is again another example of the whack-a-mole approach to manually correcting the output when the scraping process doesn't differentiate between factual and completely fictional information.

Why would anyone downvote this post? It's fucking hilarious. I hope this takes off more

The JABDE? They missed an opportunity there. Should've named it the Journal of Astrobiological Big Bio Assays.

Keep it up
