Just a reminder, y'all, that all - and I mean ALL - of the scary news stories about A.I. breaking the rules of reality and rampaging in dangerous ways? Every single one of these stories was "reported" by the companies trying to sell you A.I. It's all bullshit. It's lies. It's bad for you.

Everyone is worried about Artificial Intelligence, while I'm here in the corner wishing that the majority of Americans would display any real intelligence at all. Not because I'm super smrt. Because jesus christ, my fellow Americans are getting dumber and dumber by the day.

If you TRULY believe this bullshit that an OpenAi model "got out of an airgapped lab", I want you to tell me: How? Don't baby talk it. I can understand this. Tell me how an airgapped LLM model "broke free from its lab."

CW: EXTREME VIOLENCE DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT This is the event that occurred today in Madison, WI and is, in my opinion, an execution of a man being held down by police and shot in the head repeatedly

OK, one more time for those who are slow on the upchuck: LLMs are not sentient. Never have been. Might get there someday, but that's a long way off. They are software designed - quite literally - to SEEM sentient in conversation. Sure, they can answer questions with data they scraped off Google.

I beg of thee, Biskites: Please, please stop sharing those STUPID articles claiming an A.I. "Went Rogue," "Escaped the lab," "Hacked Another A.I.," etc. This is not how that technology works, or can work. The entire claim is horseshit. OpenAi is desperately trying to distract you from...

ME: I sincerely don't know which is gonna get us first: The oil shock that looms, or the AI bubble popping. Or a combination of the two. DIPSHITS: omg ur such a doomer lol nuthin bad wil hapen

It's pretty hilarious to me that in some US states, Bisky is demanding proof of age. This platform is mostly crunchy hippies, between 34 and 55 years old, yelling at each other about which pronouns are acceptable/offensive for flavors of commercially available ketchup.

Someone hit me today in my DMs: "How can you be atheist and believe in the paranormal?" They got shitty at my response, so I blocked them. But here's the answer: I am extremely educated in world religions. I am also more than average in my grasp of science. I have spent thousands of hours on both.

Any other Gen-X feel like Schoolhouse Rock and other educational info of our youth straight up fucking lied to us? "Oh yeah, the president isn't a king, there's a separation of powers, yah, shure, you betcha."

MAGA believes the Reflecting Pool was destroyed by invisible vandals, not Trump's motorcade—even though we have pictures of tire tracks in the freshly laid sealant. MAGA believes the 2020 election was stolen—even though there is ZERO evidence of this. These are not people tethered to reality.
