I feel like this is one of the most obvious takes out there but simultaneously parents are crazily unaware of it. Parents need to be more aware of ai companions and Roblox and how bad they are.

Character ai is the one I heard about most.

^ Exactly Ads are 100% fine I just want the option to pay to avoid them. Like black mirror I think had an episode or some movie had it where you watch an ad instead of paying for a bus ticket and that’s totally fine, cuz right now there is no alternative to paying for a bus ticket.

The issue I have with this article is that I can ask it “generate me a picture of tomb raider and pikachu on a couch” and it does it. This article makes it seems like it’s skirting the guardrails, dude OpenAI took them off, it’s out in the open.

Psh, the companies are freely giving up the data. It is unmentioned where the villagers got the carrot initially, maybe they also stole it from the library or promised their users the carrot would not be eaten. Lol

Continued rant :

It’s kinda like a ruler. If you measure workers so that one’s doing 10x less/worse output than the average that’s good.

If you compare workers down to the .01% difference in output that’s stupid and inhumane.

Tbh this isn’t that crazy. If you hire someone to do their job outputting 10 items per hour and that number is reasonable because a bunch of other workers you hired for the same job are doing it and 1 guy hits 1 per hour then that guys shouldn’t be doing that job.

The outrage should be focused on the absolute meme of their ad video cuz they were like “lets literally have a convo with an individual but refer to them as a workspace and have them say human painful responses but then just shit on them anyway impersonally”

The product is not crazy. The video is wild.

Peak capitalism would have the employees holding their own value and not being crushed in trash power dynamics to allow this kind of stuff. Capitalism is about nonviolent voluntary exchanges between two parties, when one party has a power dynamic skewed in such a way they can use tools like this that employees hate, then that’s not capitalism anymore.

The words thinking and reasoning used here are imprecise. It’s just generating text like always. If the text is after “ai-thoughts:” then it’s “thinking” and if it’s after “ai-response” then it’s “responding” not “thinking” but it is always a big ole model choosing the most likely next token potentially with some random sampling

Your comment from earlier wasn’t as easy to digest as this one. I don’t think that person copied you at all.

How is it related to TD1 was it the inspiration for the yellow king and carcosa?

Now this is solid, like an ai enhanced Evernote, but for organization, not generation/creation.
