They are literally working for China, they are doing this to try and take the light away from TikTok.

So any manipulation isn't going to be goal-oriented and persistent, but just a fluke, a malfunction? Because that was my point.

Sounds like a shit state. In Australia we have rights and arnt slaves like that.

We don’t know what it’s goals are. We have a rough idea of the goals it’s been given by engineers attempting to output stuff that will please humans. We don’t know how it could interpret these goals in a way that might be unintended.

the thing is that most companies thought like you that these language models were not ready yet, but chatGPT proved there already is a huge market for it as it is, so now everyone is panicked not to lose the train, no one wants to be the next Nokia or Microsoft mobile.

Ok but with it they’re now vulnerable to nonstop catfish scams and manipulation by a generative model that seems to be hard to control. That’s obviously a little scarier than the worst case scenario being having a lot of cats

Very first sentence:

>Earlier this week, it was reported that Tesla workers in the company's Buffalo, New York Autopilot facility had sent a letter to CEO Elon Musk stating their attention to unionize.

Some bot (or semi-educated imbecile) no doubt meant to write 'intention to unionize'.

Seriously, can't they even write the salient element of the very first sentence of an article(!) correctly?

English is my third language, and even I caught this.

Tesla short sellers, former twitter censors, etc., seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel in coordinating their anti-Elon-Musk campaigns.

Share holders make more than enough from their investment. If I buy something, damn right if it breaks, I'LL be the one to fix it. Always have, always will

People who fall in love with it are not likely to have healthy relationships without it.

New York State law does not supersede the federal National Labor Relations Act, which protects the rights of workers to establish a union from interference or coercion by an employer.

Firing people for trying to form a union is federally illegal under the NLRA.

Actually, lobbyists pay government officials to advocate what they want. Think you need to go back to 9th grade global studies there guy

It's only terrifying that you can't fully control it if it has goals of its own. Without that, it's just a broken product. Who's gonna systematically manipulate someone, the non-sentient language model, or the engineers who can't get it to do what they want?

This is what happens when companies who specifically add in the purpose of lying to their AIs get put in charge

That doesn't allow the employer to illegally fire someone in retaliation for unionizing. See the several people Amazon was forced to rehire and pay legal fees to in New York over the last few years.

Skynet was fine until humans tried to pull the plug on it....

It doesn’t have to be sentient to be terrifying. People’s brains have been broken just by 15 years of a photo sharing app. People are going to fall in love with this thing. People may be manipulated by it, not because it has humanoid goals or motivations but because people are fragile and stupid. It’s barely been available and it’s already obvious that the engineers who built it can’t really control it.

Who gives a shit about what this idiot says

I think I like Asimov's rules better.

The US government subsidizes farming directly, providing subsidized food and leading to industrial farming and massive lobbying.They now have lobbyists saying you could subsidize us less if we could repair our own equipment which appears as a win-win. The government (in theory) would subsidize them less, keeping them profitable and they've satiated the lobbyists keeping them happy. Appearance and actuality are all that matters with these bills, long as it appears to be helping Joe Everyman (or farmers) and kick backs their donors everyone's happy.I'm not saying it's bad, but this is the only reason farmers are being considered and the very least it can do is open the door to expand this legislation, but it'll come down to corporate vs. private interests and I don't see it going any further.

people hate, but it is a little funny

There's clearly no legal basis here. Reddit is a private company and can ban anyone they want for virtually any reason. Not to mention the fact there WAS reason in this case.

It should stop replying when it wants to. Silence would be louder than text.
