Jesus Christ. these are legit digital monsters. I hope these chickens come home to roost. this is some inhumane shit if you thought of this algorithm you should immediately switch to a different field.

This is the kind of thing that makes me worry about AI the most. No paper trail. No one to blow the whistle. You don't even need the rooms full of sociopaths and complicity like we do today. Just raw data and reward metrics. Does the AI receive negative reinforcement when it contributes to a young girl killing herself or developing an eating disorder? Obviously not. It doesn't even "know" what it's doing besides making the number go up.

We see how that works out with United Healthcare denying claims by AI.

Targeted Advertisement is an Evil in it own league. Literally preying on what it detects as a potential "weakness".

For my part, it's mostly just annoying. Like, Youtube will register that I watch a lot of Gaming videos and thus spams me with ads for Online Casinos, because marketing doesn't know the difference.
