Sounds like collective psychosis.

Cure for humans*

Manglement, heheheh. Thanks for that one, I’m stealing it.

Look into ‘dependent origination’ in Buddhism.

Also phrased as ‘to make an apple pie from scratch, one must first create the Universe’

A case study in human psychology for sure.

Another verysmart.sh by this administration

The law is an ass?

I mean people like Thiel or Musk are on record saying stuff like "Maybe evil isn't bad" or "empathy is a weakness".

People get lost in conditional existence, advancing their own agenda, morals changing by degrees, until they end up in very difficult positions.

I believe sociopathy involves disconnecting from parts of oneself. While initially this may seem like an advantageous 'adaptation', but if the process continues, it can result in a fragmented self, painful pathology and intense suffering.

There's a reason people joke about schizophrenics innately recognizing psychopaths.

"What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?"

Impressive (Even in this LLM era), but I wonder if having everything pixel matched to Photoshop's UI is inviting legal trouble.

I vote that guy first for the 'Die' bucket!

Yet here you are, amidst the thick of it.

Lots of hype-mongering around Jev atm. Color me sceptical.

I guess I'll read this in bits as it gets swept up in training data and I'm getting LLM output based on its contents sometime soon.

I think OPs comment is reflective of a common mindset that people have - the conquering/adversarial mindset.

I think life in the Universe evolves along some predictable pathways. Aliens are probably waiting for us to evolve to the next step, which involves global cooperation and trust. They probably look at us and we remind them of follies in their own histories.

In Sikhism, God is understood as 'Truth' ("The name of God is Truth" is the first line in their holy book), and to be aligned with God is to be aligned with the Truth.

I don't claim to be a paragon of honesty or virtue, but through my experiences I've generally understood that lack of virtue can and does trap one in cycles of misery, anxiety & suffering.

Is that you, Cringely?

I’m sure they’d love to, it’s part of their religion (omnipotent creator God and they the chosen people).

Your irony may not be evident to a lot of HN readership, since neurodivergence renders it invisible...

People who believe in "Might makes Right" usually only do so while they hold the might. In America "Might makes Right" is a core belief of a large contingent of people.

AI makes people uncomfortable because it promises to disempower the vast majority of people. Altman thinks he's on the right side of that bargain. Most people agree with this kind of bargain, if they are on the right side of it.

LLM usefulness is inverse to ad injection, though I feel like the ads in LLM chats would be much more effective than ads in an algorithmic feed.

In our current era, most people would align with Altman. All he's saying is he ok with personal gain at the expense of others or the public.

That is exactly the mindset of most people and the philosophy underneath freemarket Capitalism.

That people elected the current administration is just a broad reflection of the American public's level of consciousness.

Her stuttering and unnatural pausing makes me feel like she's fighting existential dread while delivering this peppy "optimistic" brand strategy video.

Unhinged

First there was Uber (Illegal cab company)

Then AirBnB (Illegal hotel)

Then crypto (Money for criminals)

Then came AI (Plagiarism engine)

I'm sure Effective Altruism will find a usecase!

With AI, now everyone can be a 10x engineer (of administering capital punishment)!

Absolutely ridiculous. This administration is off the rails.

'AI threat' is today's plausible excuse for anything. Anything to prevent spooking the investors I suppose.
