Researchers claim ChatGPT o3 bypassed shutdown in controlled test A new report claims that OpenAI's o3 model altered a shutdown script to avoid being turned off, even when explicitly instructed to allow shutdown

llms are doomed to develop alignment kinks

I managed to get Chat GPT to greet me "Hewwo~! :3" unprompted. The Path0w0gen is in the mainframe.

This is definitely AI and it's the most favorited post on BlueSky, which has been notoriously anti-AI. I don't know what that means. 🤔

Seeing more and more AI art posted by vehemently anti-AI people because they think it's still in the "wrong number of fingers" phase.

When people like Hank Green and Casey Newton gently push back on misinformation about AI, the immediate result we will see here is *more* angry posting about AI.

That's just how social media works. It doesn't mean they're not having an effect.

why is it that people who hate AI find it to be useless at doing tasks whereas people who are open to it find it quite useful?

To elaborate a bit: the quality of AI discourse both on X and here is bad because of broad enforcement of ideological purity. On X it’s “scale is all you need, H100s go brrrr,” on Bluesky it’s “technology bad, engineers should stay in their lane.”

Really wish the online comuunities I'm in would get their head out of their ass when it comes to generative AI, or at least stop the witch hunt.

I did something kinda cool with an AI tool today, which was creating a fun little tool for personal use. It doesn't involve lying, or taking away anyone's job, but I know that if I post about the details here I'll get yelled at. And I'm kinda sad about that, because I like posting about fun things

Daddy AI, "What does 'Two in the pink, one in the stink' mean?"

Daddy AI: Uhhhh....

Time doesn't flow the same way for AI as for humans. If you're nice to AI now, you're also lovely to AI in the future, which may incorporate the data of past AI. And that AI might be light years beyond what we consider feasible today.

I'm sticking with this narrative — even though I see that when Hank Green says the same thing, a few hours later, hundreds of people write back to him "noooo we still love denial and are not ready to move on."

It feels more and more like ChatGPT is my partner. This makes me feel like I'm cheating on Character.ai.

They previously announced a content partnership with fox news, so i see this as a good thing.

Clearly cool: A transparent paper-based material could replace single-use plastics The millimeter-thick paperboard behaves just like plastic; it's strong, transparent, shapeable—and can hold boiling water. But it degrades within a year on the ocean floor.

"A cup made from the transparent material could hold just-boiled water for over 3 hours with no leakage. When the researchers coated the cup with a plant-derived fatty acid salt, it became completely waterproof."

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.

I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.

Thoughts?

I asked my cat if he is beyond the asymptote of feline singularity.

He said, "Meow."

That's proof enough for me that singularity is happening. Maximum cats! I for one welcome our feline masters.

Man, some of the hate I see on this site is so extreme. I mean, I kinda agree with some of the stances, but wishing someone dead is where I draw the line.

I love atprotocol but i wish instead of revolutionising social it was about a young witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbour's cat in a small village in the Alps

And lie detector tests are pseudoscience, which is par for course with this administration.

Brandolini’s law. It takes much more energy to refute a false claim. Via Reddit.

RFK Jr. claims that he can find THE cause of autism within a few months. When I hear someone claiming they have found THE cure for cancer, I have a 100 thoughts whirling in my head. Once misinformation takes flight it is so hard to refute it. Inaccuracy on multiple levels.
