okay but objectively this is low key funny

And while his predictions are bold, AI’s rapid development is increasing the speed of innovation and will help solve some of society’s biggest problems, including, he implies, how to sustain life in space.

i hate these people so much

<ivy-league-school> dropout needs to become a slur

you know what I’m gonna try this lmao couldn’t possibly hurt at this point

I’m imagining a scandal in a few years where an influencer fakes a bf/gf who was generated by this lmao low key could happen (assuming this thing manages consistency of one face)

you can turn it off for now*

yes but currently as it stands the bad greatly outweighs the good

scammers and people who live their (fake) life on social media are the exact people who need something like this. Unfortunately for us all that is the majority.

do not use this site its filled with weirdos not to mention we don’t need another echo chamber to radicalize more people

another echo chamber is not a good idea that’s the reason the US in this current state

a white paper about the topic for the survey platform Verasight, data journalist G. Elliott Morris found, when comparing 1,500 “synthetic” survey respondents and 1,500 real people, that large language models (LLMs) were overall very bad at reflecting the views of actual human respondents

Yeah no shit. Why even do this isn’t the point of a survey to get the opinions of an actual person and how they’re being affected?? Why would a language model stringing word together be comparable.

they’ve said multiple times that they require email as a way to combat against their work being scrapped by bots and getting published elsewhere. They are a small team doing great work they need money to keep running. I don’t see what the issue is.

I’ve never heard of the Halloween files I just looked it up and that’s just so crazy. I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors in their c-suite but I wouldn’t be surprised if this fund is a way to get their hands into open source projects. Like you said there’s no explicit proof so it’s best to be cautious.

yes exactly, my problem is not the money. I don’t expect these project to always be free and I support those I can, sponsorship is good. These giant tech firms have used free projects all the time to make money without providing any support so its fine that they’re supporting them. My problem is that I do not trust Microsoft at all.

with what money

HUH?!

I chuckled
