Lack of evidence is not evidence for your pet theory.

Seems like it’s hard to find the actual repository and they put it behind a trigger warninf: https://github.com/terrafying/ai-torture-chamber

If I am just a stochastic parrot because I think LLMs basically think like humans do, then I am not really a person but a tool. Can I really be faulted for not having free will?

Back in the day heroku did much of this it seemed. But then it got bought by Salesforce of all companies and lost the plot. It was nice, just push to git and your app was deployed, and this was before Docker existed.

I made a machine that fires a gun based on a random number generator. Obviously it’s the tool’s fault if it shoots somebody

This sort of stuff does little to create safety but does a lot to hype AI. Here’s an idea: ban unsafe software for cases where safety is a requirement OR hold these companies accountable for illegal outcomes (no more “oops, our software hacked a competitor” without getting hit with a lawsuit). Newsome would never do something so sensible as it would hurt his donors’ bottom line.

I’m sure the AI told them they were right to push back when they confronted it

I mean ICE is both a joke and a scary brute squad.

How dare you have a healthy response to this garbage

No, but Milo threatened his friends to not defend him less they be a target of a harassment campaign.

Makes me wonder why we even bother with burying radioactive waste.

Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn

Cthulu is an archetype, right? Comes into our world with no regard other than what it can manipulate and drives people insane.

Edit: thinking about it, it’s not an archetype when it comes from an LLM. The consistency it does display doesn’t come from some conviction an entity should be a certain way. Ask an LLM to put an archetype in a novel situation and it falls back to matching forms.

I appreciate the emphasis on conviviality or human centric design. But boy I want to nitpick on the following:

when we collaborate with AI systems, we might be interfacing with the archetypal patterns that have guided human wisdom throughout history. This makes programming with AI a form of accessing collective spiritual wisdom rather than just advanced tooling.

I agree with the first half, that yes, you are engaging with archetypal patterns that is often present in human wisdom but that is where it stops. There is no guarantee the LLM has selected the appropriate pattern for your use case. There is no wisdom from the LLM because there is no conviction from its choices. The LLM, at best, is a superstitious machine that sees that X pattern worked in a situation with similar signifiers. Wisdom is understanding which signifiers are of consequence given your context, which requires being able to ignore/forget irrelevant context - something an LLM is terrible at doing as evident by all the “context engineering” tools that exist. It feels like a chicken and egg problem where in order for the LLM to “get right” what is the appropriate context it must first have the appropriate context.

“Oil unable to navigate Trump’s Strait”

“Ships lost trying to cross Trump’s Strait”

I think if I said this enough times I would likely say “Trump’s taint”, it kinda ryhmes

It would be Useful for doing a retrospective on whether AI is helpful or not

Epstein class wants to make sure the people doing the investigation are understanding…

Obviously our lawmakers are communist and this is a ploy to undermine the very capable and responsible software maker called Microsoft /s

If she said “Trump is cancelling Thanksgiving for many families because his war in Iran is driving up grocery costs” it would have been a slam dunk.

Yes this impacts everyone and everyone should be concerned. But the solution is in mass politics, not in “electing” another death cult leader. The conservative framework is fundamentally unable to address this issue.

Edit: after watching the video I would say the title reflects her audience.
