  • So they made an AI restaurant! It has a manifesto!

    It’s… a printer for QR codes. That a guy who is reallly not equipped for sticking QR codes to bowls has to peel and stick onto bowls. And then they get filled by hilariously imprecise cereal dispensers.

    They’re building an empire, yall.

  • Oh my god, The Guardian with the sneer:

    Take a look at Sam Altman. I mean, actually do it. Go to Google images, where you can find countless photos of the OpenAI boss smiling in a kind of wan genius way, the humble lost puppy of Silicon Valley. But I urge you to simply cover the bottom half of his face in any of these pictures, and you will immediately clock that Sam has the sad-psycho eyes of the lost woman’s boyfriend who the police have asked to front the missing person’s appeal. Please come home, Sheila – we’re all worried sick and we just want you back.

  • Yup, exactly. The chatbot, no matter how helpful, exists in a context of dark patterned web design, incredibly bad resource usage and theft. Its purpose is to make the customer’s question go away, so not even the fanatics are interested.

  • Been tangentially involved in a discussion about how much LLMs have improved in the past year (I don’t care), but now that same space has a discussion of how annoying the stupid pop-up chat boxes are on websites. Don’t know what the problem is, they’ve gotten so much better in the past year?

  • These are great recs. You can definitely find good sci-fi out of America as long as you pick from authors that aren’t white, straight or cis. Marginalized people have a really good sense of the world (no doubt because they need it to survive)

  • Whichever one of you did https://alignmentalignment.ai/caaac/jobs, well done, and many lols.

    CAAAC is an open, dynamic, inclusive environment, where all perspectives are welcomed as long as you believe AGI will annihilate all humans in the next six months.

    Alright, I can pretend to believe that, go on…

    We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits, including no performance management because we have no way to assess whether the work you do is at all useful.

    Incredible. I hope I get the job!

  • Yep. My memory is propped up by a tweet back then that my (now deleted) tweeter account must have retweeted. Oral history is all we get in this glorious world where data is so vigorously duplicated
