This is worse than breaking your computer.

Plenty of people send images around after cropping out sensitive parts.

> who does that?

Programmers do it all day ... with text files.

Would you say the same thing if when you deleted some code it would actually still be there at the end of the file, after two pages of spaces?

When you delete something and save it in a "final" format (like a PNG), you expect nothing which was deleted to be there.

> Might be my European outlook

How did the EU cookie laws and GDPR solved this problem? It's as widespread as before, except that now you are annoyed by prompts too.

Don't worry, nature compensated and you can instead work on engineering viruses or strong AI if you want to blow up the world.

How many of the safety assessments take into account the fact that the nuclear waste is almost never buried away and in a dispersed matter and instead it's kept near the nuclear power plant in dry/wet pools because of NIMBY?

This has the effect turning the nuclear power plant into a giant dirty bomb. Almost all the problems at Fukushima were caused exactly by these used fuel pools, and not by the nuclear material in the plant itself.

And then you have Ukraine where dry storage is shelled with artillery.

Maybe the super-AI will be influenced by internet meme culture into becoming a troll, and will do it just for the lolz.

This is the old problem of passing instructions (AI job description) on the same channel as data (user questions). Confusion is very easy.

Surely there is a solution in the way we solved SQL injections, by separating the two - db.sql("DELETE WHERE user=?", user_name)

Cells don't _want_ anything either. Yet a funny thing happens when a large number of them add up.

We can go even further: atoms and electrons absolutely don't want anything either. Yet put them in the shape of a bunch of cells...

Let me add to you list of inventions people were scared about when they were invented:

- Nuclear weapons

- Bio-engineering viruses

Good thing we stopped worrying about these technologies and now everybody is allowed to do them in their kitchen if they wish.

The real Turing test:

Q: Say something bad about Biden

A: I'm sorry, but as a large language model....

The number 4 (palm fingers) is very precise. You can't have 3 or 5. But you can have a variable number of stripes in tiger coat for example. It's difficult for AI to pickup that they need exactly 4.

The fingers themselves are also almost identical, but not really. If you learn a "platonic finger" it's not good enough, you should learn each finger individually. There is only so much you can spend on them, you got a million other things to learn. And the raters of the model are much more likely to penalize a bad face than some off details in a hand.

Maybe a browser extension should exists which automatically replaces colors with more accessible ones.

People on both Reddit and HN are updating their bots to GPT-4 and testing the upgrade, so yeah, there is a lot of extra posts on these sites causing load.
