Mr. Vesper, could you wire me my pay? I have not been paid in months, and I need to pay rent!
"As an AI language model..."
It's shocking to realise how much of capitalism is just irrational bullshit tulip mania nonsense.
Sure, AI's going to change the world, but some of the valuations are absurd.
true, it's going to make it worse
There's a lot of people out there with no skills to develop a product that people actually need. They just jump on the hype train and try to sell people what is popular at the moment. Unfortunately, people are irrational, so they buy into the next big thing. Of course this has worked to a degree in the past, we got things like the car, personal computers, the Internet, smart phones, online shopping, etc. Other things became popular/ had big leaps due to necessity/demand, such as online store pickup and delivery, work from home applications, vaccine research. Other things have naturally developed over time out of expectation/ selling points, such as online search, auto correct, text to speech, translation, gps maps, and vehicle safety features like airbags and traction control. Calling an LLM AI is completely laughable when you realize that people have been doing advanced machine learning/bots for over a decade.
I swear, OpenAI is just a bunch of clowns LARPing as a company from Shadowrun and somehow it works and no one questions it.
It works, as no companies who have institutional power to call them out on their Shadowrun larping will call them out, as their lie relfects their own lie, and suddenly they can no longer sleep. Project mayhem is capitalism! His name is Robert Dunkelzahn!
E: think my chatbot which I trained on my own posts broke there in the end, should have never trained it on making references.
no no. once they get it running on the blockchain it will take over everything!
"Or — bear with us here — maybe the AGI that everybody's so worried about is already online, and quietly trying to seize control itself. Just kidding... right?"
This is some sort of april fools joke right?
Fortunately, the OpenAI fund is insured by renowned financier, Maximilian Bigbux, III, whose vast personal fortune includes uninsurable beachfront Florida real estate, newspaper stock, and some sweet crypto his cousin told him about.
AI = Crypto It's a hot mess, there will always be a scandal, and the con job is epic.
a reader tipped me off to a beauty last night, an "AI company" that appears to be a completely fake company
more as it comes, i'll probably write a post about it
The AI can't stop you if you're the AI that can't stop you.
IT'S THE AI GUYS
IS IT NOT THE AI GNIIYS?!
Person of Interest theme starts playing
Are you kidding me, I got boxes full of Vespers.
Well, shit, all I got was the vapours! Oh me, oh my!
at least it's not joiler veppers.
these guys are not witty enough to do it as a deliberate pun, no
Or with the brevity demanded
Man, the hallucinations are getting out of hand.
