Bad code from AI is just the latest version of mindlessly pasting from Stack Overflow.

Humans literally can not scan all of SO to make a huge copypasta.

It takes much more time, effort, and thought to find various solutions on SO and patch them together into something that works well.

You mean europeans?

Pretty sure immortan joe is going to be wearing all that gold.

Between AI and shitcoin mining

The difference is that the better shitcoins have been upgraded to be 99% more energy efficient.

But there's no foreseeable limit or escape from the waste of "AI".

In world of so much need and suffering I can't imagine anything that we need less.

Computer programs don't deceive. They respond programmatically based on input given.

Any perceived deception by the computer is actually just irrational expectations, etc. by the user.

it will start by telling you it’s “thinking.” After a few seconds, it’ll specify that it’s “defining variables.” Wait a few more seconds, and it says it’s at the stage of “figuring out equations.” You eventually get your answer, and you have some sense of what the AI has been up to.

The opposite is true here. We are being intentionally misdirected by misleading/humanizing language away from what the computer is actually doing. Not even close to understanding what the "AI" has been computing.

However, it’s a pretty hazy sense. The details of what the AI is doing remain under the hood. That’s because the OpenAI researchers decided to hide the details from users... In other words, we’re not sure if Strawberry is actually “figuring out equations” when it says it’s “figuring out equations.” Similarly, it could tell us it’s consulting biology textbooks when it’s in fact consulting comic books. Whether because of a technical mistake or because the AI is attempting to deceive us in order to achieve its long-term goal, the sense that we can see into the AI might be an illusion.

The author conflates the actual deception of the developers with the imaginary deception of the "AI". This type of terrible coverage is completely normal inside the "AI" bubble.

This tells you much much more about how graduate students are treated in academia than anything about "AI".

does some reasoning steps.

The people who believe in "AI" say the wackiest things.

Gotta remember that AI is going to solve the climate crisis! \s

Phenomenal handout to a failing company while there are many people in desperate need.

Does this work for accepted conspiracy theories too? For example harris recited debunked propaganda about sexual assault by palestinians during the debates (similar to trump propaganda about refugees). This conspiracy is embedded deep in USAian propaganda. Would AI have been able to debunk that during the debates? Because accepted conspiracies are the most dangerous kind. For example they fuel genocides like the one we're seeing now.
