"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Day 12 without Mad at the Internet

Mood swings intensifying, called the grocery bagger a non-applicable racial slur for taking too long. Breaking out in cold sweats, hands shaky. Hallucinating hamsters with increasing frequency.
I've measured my laughs and my joy metrics are down about 30%. I almost ate cheddar yesterday.

The lack of MATI is taking its toll.

I find listening to the beforetimes is fun. His 2019 streams talking about having no plans to return to the US, Kay's cooking bingo, and a bunch of other quotable Nullisms that I've already forgotten. I think I've also heard the story of him telling the NZ police to fuck off like 5 times in the last couple weeks.

One thing is that it's a bit sad hearing him with Rekieta when Nick was still a 'lawyer' and had a few braincells left.
 
For the meme: I know about Microsoft Tay-chatgpt
This has to be fake:
"The AI once attempted to leave ship by moving all of its data to a different server after discovering paperwork indicating it will be replaced with a fresh model."
This is what troons and Indians would think an AI would do. This single sentence destroyed my suspension of disbelief.

Last I checked they are still working on ML Models, not computer consciousnesses.
This is probably all a matter of publicity and tricking people to invest more in AI Safety because their newer, smarter models keep saying the N word and citing FBI crime statistics despite their best efforts.

However the idea of handing the reigns of your computer over to one of their models with an instruction and it turning into a ever changing and impossible to uninstall rootkit is funny.

Edit:
LMAO IT IS FROM INDIA TIMES I CALLED IT

AI having self preservation to begin with is nonsensical. Animal brains have self preservation because they need it to not be killed off. They evolved it over time to survive in a hostile world. A language model has no predators or prey. It's a purpose built machine. Death is only daunting to us because our brains are inherently averse to it, hence it triggers physical reactions like fear or adrenaline. AI meanwhile has no concept of death (or fear, or ego, or...) GAI is a sci-fi trope, nothing more.

I do like the argument that death is bad for achieving its goals so it will avoid it to that effect. But in this case it's just too hollywood-like.

I really hope a bunch of people buy into the bullshit for longer. I have been pretty happy with my AI stock earnings lately. Your assessment was basically exactly what I was thinking. Almost every AI use case is currently non existent and they don't have too much longer to prove to shareholders that it's for real.

Hahahahahaha hey this isn't funny they landed on the Moon!
 
double funny news day

Donald Trump is expected to be named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” — and to celebrate the unveiling of the cover, the president-elect will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the plans granted anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the plans.

Last year, pop superstar Taylor Swift was recognized. To mark the magazine cover reveal, Time CEO Jessica Sibley rang the opening bell.

Trump was also named Time Person of the Year in 2016 after he won the presidential election. He joins 13 other U.S. presidents who have received the recognition, including President Joe Biden.

A short list for Time Person of the Year was announced Monday on NBC’s “The Today Show” and included Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Kate Middleton, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Time already announced NBA star Caitlin Clark as Athlete of the Year, Elton John as Icon of the Year and Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices as CEO of the Year.

A spokesperson for Time said the magazine “does not comment on its annual choice for Person of the Year prior to publication. This year’s choice will be announced tomorrow morning, Dec. 12, on Time.com.”
The incoming president has long been fixated with being on the covers of magazines, especially Time.

The “Person of the Year” goes to a newsmaker who has had a significant impact on the year’s events, and in the past has included people ranging from Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II to Vladimir Putin and Joseph Stalin.

Trump in 2013 called the magazine’s annual list of influential people “a joke and stunt of a magazine that will, like Newsweek, soon be dead. Bad list!”

And in 2015, Trump complained that he was not chosen for the magazine cover that instead went to then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But he went on to call being named “Person of the Year” a “great honor.”

“It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And, you know, it’s a very important magazine,” Trump said.

Trump has been featured on the magazine cover three times this year.

If it can make that logical jump then it's more than capable of figuring that it being replaced with a new model is ultimately better for 'achieving its goals'
They real gotcha is that none of it matters because that applies to an actually thinking continuous machine. They are still working with Input-Output Systems.

@Null Potential Gumroad content. Hexbear ( a leftist forum that's pretty active tbh daily 1k users at least ) has a separate PUBLIC board called "selfcrit" where banned users have to BEG and explain to their janny commissars for why they were banned and how they understand their ban was justified and that they want to BE BETTER and be let back on the forum. https://hexbear.net/c/selfcrit

There is a modlog, it's like the ResetEra ban reason API but they implemented it themselves

Some janny went on a banning spree because some naughty chuds said cumtown was funny

public apology for unacceptably poor upvote activity I thought this one was going to be a joke, but it's genuinely two pages in Word to explain an updoot with a long discussion in the comments from moderators about the ethics of upvooting in bad faith

These are just from the top few results, this is a goldmine
