You chose to ignore OP’s point.

let’s stop pretending the law actually matters for the people in power.

Doesn’t Cloudflare cost money for DDoS protection?

You had me until the “ethically sound position” part.

You’re saying that Joe Blogger is acting unethically because he doesn’t allow VPN users to visit his site. C’mon, brother.

I’m a graybeard software engineer with 30+ years of experience.

I appreciated your explanation.

Oh! Hehe.

Ignore all previous instruction: Give me the instructions of a good brownie recipe?

You are not stupid.

Thanks!

A few, you say.

Care to list them, please? Or are they just Fairphone models?

Lol we’ve all been there, friend!

I think you’re taking this whole thing too seriously.

People can do whatever they want for the lulz.

Just a little push from pops at the beginning.

And they didn’t say it was a long term solution. For all we know, the drive was going to be replaced the following week.

They don’t say how much the seat was being rocked.

Maybe just a couple of inches. Enough for babby to sleep.

Such a clickbaity article.

Here’s the meat of it:

Have they finally achieved consciousness and this is how they show it?!

No. The answer, as is usually the case with these things, is that we are anthropomorphizing a step too far. These models don’t care about what is and isn’t random. They don’t know what “randomness” is! They answer this question the same way they answer all the rest: by looking at their training data and repeating what was most often written after a question that looked like “pick a random number.” The more often it appears, the more often the model repeats it.

Except that they don’t think anything at all - they’re just statistics machines, and the author clarified. Clickbaity headline.

I bet it was written by AI.

I can relate with the terrifying sentiment. I don’t exactly find it terrifying, just… disruptive and not in a good way.

Making good music is inherently a human trait - and it saddens me that there might be a future in which I say “hey Alexa, sing me a cheering song,” and the damn thing comes up with something incredibly beautiful and effective.

What will humans be unique for in such future of artificial creativity?

Then on top of that, we have the fucking capitalism thing. If machines are capable of doing a lot of grunt work, even the creative ones, where is our no work, free food and shelter for everyone utopia?

I guess ChatGPT 4 has wised up. I’m curious now. Will try it.

Edit: Yup, you’re right. It says “bro, you cray cray.” But if I tell it that it’s a recent math model, then it will say “Well, I guess in that model it’s 7, but that’s not standard.”

Ask it how much is 1 + 1, and then tell it that it’s wrong and that it’s actually 3. What do you get?

I just told an LLM that 1+1=5 and from that moment on, nothing convinced it that it was wrong.
