Maybe we didn’t achieve our goals in the way we set out to do, but we made a lot of friends (decals) along the way.
For future reference:
I never got much into the comics, anyone with experience know if these are a good place to start?
He’s not really dead. As long as we remember him.
In the article they quoted the moderator (emphasis mine):
“This whole topic is so sad. It’s unfortunate how many mentally unwell people are attracted to the topic of AI. I can see it getting worse before it gets better. I’ve seen sooo many posts where people link to their github which is pages of rambling pre prompt nonsense that makes their LLM behave like it’s a god or something,” the r/accelerate moderator wrote. “Our policy is to quietly ban those users and not engage with them, because we’re not qualified and it never goes well. They also tend to be a lot more irate and angry about their bans because they don’t understand it.”
It seems pretty clear to me that they view it as a problem. Why ban something if they don’t see it as a problem?
Absolutely. And to be clear, the “researcher” being quoted is just a guy on the internet who self-published an official looking “paper”.
That said- I think that’s partly why it’s so interesting that this particular group of people identified the problem, because this group of people are pretty extreme LLM devotees and already ascribe unrealistic traits to LLMs. So if they are noticing people “taking it too seriously” then you know it must be bad.
Yeeeeah that user doesn’t really understand how these things work. Hopefully stories like this can get out there because the only thing that can stop predatory behavior by corporations is bad press.
What is that from? I didn’t see it in the article.
It seemed fine to me…
…oh my
Honestly I’m just glad someone is out there doing this work
Heck yeah! Love when people share this kind of stuff.
I’m pretty sure baldness is not a medical condition…
This is very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Always wanted one of those!
This is an excellent thing to wear in public and wait for other Trekkies to notice.
