Bro this "expert" doesn't even have a high school diploma and has claimed that "a doctorate in AI would be negatively useful."

that just seems petty, lots of smart people dont do well in school but do well on their own, its not for everyone

but this guy sounds like a bit, off... so i dont think a good school or no school would have changed that much

 

some people are just born bad

The current wave of neural network popularity and discourse

do you mean the chat gpt stuff? i used it a lot, it has been life changing for me

 

WHY WOULD ANYONE HATE THAT STUFF, ITS AMAZING, I GOT SO MANY THINGS DONE, I DONT NEED TO WASTE HOURS GOOGLING FOR CRAP, I CAN JUST, TELL IT, "HEY HOW DO I DO THAT THING" AND IT TELLS ME, OH MY GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH

 

it restored some of my faith in humanity that we can do actual good, it gave me some hope too, and i got so much stuff done the moment it got released, like i hate programing or, monkeying around with batch files, but i needed to setup some stuff with it, and it helped out SO MUCH

 

plus its HELLA patient too, it never yells at me, it never gets upset that i dont understand, i can ask it to explain things in different ways, step by step, and so on, the only limit is, how creative you can get when you ask it these questions, but it will happily assist you, its so nice, i feel like i have my own personal teacher, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS ME TO LEARN, NOT JUST THROW MONEY AT HIM

 

most teachers are assholes, i dont like most teachers

 

now i have my own self made tool thanks to this thing, it also made me photoshop scripts, where if you push Ctrl + S, it automatically saves the image into a specific format, to a specific folder, thats like, GOD LIKE, it saved me hours worth of pointless clicking (i didnt even know you could do that)

 

i also had to do some boring stuff with ffmpeg and i always dreaded finding out how it works but it made my life so much easier, i asked it one simple oddly specific question and BOOM, here's the solution fam, that's so cool

 

the people who hate on this ai stuff are a bunch of retards, im so excited for the future, i even used that art one, its really useful, i dont need to waste my time gathering boring ass reference images anymore, i just, tell the ai to crank a bunch, and i ask chat gpt to create prompts for me, then i hand pick the art i like and i delete the bad stuff, or i fix the ones with not too many defects

 

for me this ai stuff is super useful because, a lot of the things i want to do are super niche, but most people are assholes and they will NEVER DARE to share this knowledge with me

 

ITS JUST SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO GET THINGS DONE

 

i was super burned out because half the time im just googling for stuff and trying to figure out which information is useful and which is garbage

chat gpt pretty much deleted like 99% of that process overnight, i barely google anymore, i basically use it as a "reddit search post finder"

 

its like, 90% chat gpt and 10% google to find more stuff i can throw into chat gpt, to ask it more questions to refine what it gave me, i went from taking weeks to do some of this stuff to, four hours or even 30 minutes, sometimes if im lucky i can solve the problem in the time it takes it to generate a response for me, super complicated stuff that would take me months to figure out, its just one click away

 

awesome

 

oh and the people who wanted to make that petition to stop this ai stuff from getting better? they can go fuck themselves

 

im kinda sick of the weird censorship and all the filtering, im pretty sure this just makes the AIs dumber, but, for now i can work around it, i didnt trigger it too often, even the ai just seems to ignore the warnings it shows me anyway, i just tell it to do the thing anyway and i ignore the warning, and it happily helps out in the end, its kinda funny

 

i always thank the ai, sometimes it blows my mind, i get super excited when i get something ridiculously hard done so quickly

 

I CAN ASK SOOOO MANY QUESTIONS, I CAN TAKE EVERY LITTLE PIECE APART AND HAVE IT EXPLAINED FOR ME, HOW ARE PEOPLE'S MINDS NOT BLOWN BY THIS THING, LIKE OH MY GOD, I STILL CANT GET OVER IT AND I HAVE BEEN USED IT SINCE THE DECEMBER RELEASE

 

i still get these little "holy shit i cant believe it did that" or these weird "wow" moments a lot, the novelty wore off but it still catches me off guard

ITS SO GOOD

I highly recommend rationalwiki's dutifully-maintained and sourced page for more info on all this garbage. A lot of it is really funny.

i will just assume he's a bad person and move on, reading all that stuff doesnt seem like a good use of my time

 

also that wiki seems a bit uh obsessive, its weirding me out

i dont really want to look at it, im not sure how i feel about the people running a website like that, its just giving me a bad vibe

 

i feel like mentally stable people who have a healthy life, would proooobably not be running a wiki about, whatever that is

The current wave of neural network popularity and discourse is probably a convenient advertising strat, but it's mostly unrelated the robot apocalypse they keep predicting. If we wanna talk about the threats of AI, we're going to be talking about automation, impersonation, data and statistical bias, things that accentuate the problems we already face in the real world due to centuries of compounded socioeconomic tension and systemic injustice. The current problems are not a break with tradition, they are the tradition, only more.

i dont really know how to reply to the rest of that stuff, im not an ai expert anyway, im just an ai enjoyer

 

im the type of person who doesnt care about how much disruption something new causes, i enjoy the chaos, i just like to get new stuff

 

AVERAGE AI ENJOYER

 

 

i was wondering whats wrong with the guy and i just ended up writing a giant unhinged ramble about how excited i am about AI instead

By contrast, the thing that Yudkowski (and Elon Musk, in case you wanted more evidence it's a fake problem) is most afraid of amounts to a time-traveling bonzibuddy that tortures you for not thinking about it hard enough.

is it that stupid basilisk thing again? its such a dumb theory, some of that stuff always feels like, religion to me but, for "smart" people

like its no different than believing that, you will go to hell if you sneeze wrong

 

i dont care about elon musk anyway, i always ignored the guy, i never understood why people get so focused on wasting all that energy on someone they dont even like

 

why not just, do something better with your life? like, eating ice cream, or baking a delicious pancake, mhh hmm

 

i think this is why that wiki weirds me out, we could have an amazing chat gpt wiki where, people share their handcrafted solutions and the tools they made with everybody, their source code, prompts, anything, but no lets just, stalk a bunch of internet losers instead, yay?

 

anyway for all i care ai can take over the world, it couldnt possibly do a worse job than the humans

 

not that... the humans are... trying to do anything, they are just lazying around, waiting for solutions to show up

OH LOOK, A SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEMS SHOWED UP

 

IT MUST BE THE WORK OF THE DEVIL, DESTROY IT, THOSE EVIL CHAT DEVILS, KILL THEM ALL, IT WILL BRING WRATH ON US ALL, AAGHHH

i also had to do some boring stuff with ffmpeg and i always dreaded finding out how it works but it made my life so much easier, i asked it one simple oddly specific question and BOOM, here's the solution fam, that's so cool

 

the people who hate on this ai stuff are a bunch of retards, im so excited for the future, i even used that art one, its really useful, i dont need to waste my time gathering boring ass reference images anymore, i just, tell the ai to crank a bunch, and i ask chat gpt to create prompts for me, then i hand pick the art i like and i delete the bad stuff, or i fix the ones with not too many defects

 

for me this ai stuff is super useful because, a lot of the things i want to do are super niche, but most people are assholes and they will NEVER DARE to share this knowledge with me

 

ITS JUST SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO GET THINGS DONE

 

i was super burned out because half the time im just googling for stuff and trying to figure out which information is useful and which is garbage

chat gpt pretty much deleted like 99% of that process overnight, i barely google anymore, i basically use it as a "reddit search post finder"

 

its like, 90% chat gpt and 10% google to find more stuff i can throw into chat gpt, to ask it more questions to refine what it gave me, i went from taking weeks to do some of this stuff to, four hours or even 30 minutes, sometimes if im lucky i can solve the problem in the time it takes it to generate a response for me, super complicated stuff that would take me months to figure out, its just one click away

 

awesome

 

oh and the people who wanted to make that petition to stop this ai stuff from getting better? they can go fuck themselves

 

im kinda sick of the weird censorship and all the filtering, im pretty sure this just makes the AIs dumber, but, for now i can work around it, i didnt trigger it too often, even the ai just seems to ignore the warnings it shows me anyway, i just tell it to do the thing anyway and i ignore the warning, and it happily helps out in the end, its kinda funny

 

i always thank the ai, sometimes it blows my mind, i get super excited when i get something ridiculously hard done so quickly

 

I CAN ASK SOOOO MANY QUESTIONS, I CAN TAKE EVERY LITTLE PIECE APART AND HAVE IT EXPLAINED FOR ME, HOW ARE PEOPLE'S MINDS NOT BLOWN BY THIS THING, LIKE OH MY GOD, I STILL CANT GET OVER IT AND I HAVE BEEN USED IT SINCE THE DECEMBER RELEASE

 

i still get these little "holy shit i cant believe it did that" or these weird "wow" moments a lot, the novelty wore off but it still catches me off guard

ITS SO GOOD

also that wiki seems a bit uh obsessive, its weirding me out

i was wondering whats wrong with the guy and i just ended up writing a giant unhinged ramble about how excited i am about AI instead

Bro this "expert" doesn't even have a high school diploma and has claimed that "a doctorate in AI would be negatively useful."

that just seems petty, lots of smart people dont do well in school but do well on their own, its not for everyone

but this guy sounds like a bit, off... so i dont think a good school or no school would have changed that much

 

some people are just born bad

WHY WOULD ANYONE HATE THAT STUFF, ITS AMAZING, I GOT SO MANY THINGS DONE, I DONT NEED TO WASTE HOURS GOOGLING FOR CRAP, I CAN JUST, TELL IT, "HEY HOW DO I DO THAT THING" AND IT TELLS ME, OH MY GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH

 

it restored some of my faith in humanity that we can do actual good, it gave me some hope too, and i got so much stuff done the moment it got released, like i hate programing or, monkeying around with batch files, but i needed to setup some stuff with it, and it helped out SO MUCH

 

plus its HELLA patient too, it never yells at me, it never gets upset that i dont understand, i can ask it to explain things in different ways, step by step, and so on, the only limit is, how creative you can get when you ask it these questions, but it will happily assist you, its so nice, i feel like i have my own personal teacher, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS ME TO LEARN, NOT JUST THROW MONEY AT HIM
