    What a typical republican. Who cares if it‘s 100% correct, but it makes me feel good about what I hear.

    Feels before reals, a snowflake in his safe space.

      If this was a software engineer discussing how to architect something, I’d just nod and agree, it’s not 100% correct but whatever, it’s like a rubber ducky method on steroids.

      HOWEVER this is a fucking politician who writes laws. From a national security perspective, this is 100% fucked. There is huge gain to be had out of monitoring their accounts alone, but this is beyond that. It means monitoring and controlling their thought processes.

      All Sam Altman has to do is give a special prompt or fine tuned model to politicians and have it lean towards policies he agrees with. You can puppet these dudes by controlling their internal monologue with LLM if the end up relying on it for this… It’s totally fucked.

      It’s as if it was the 70s and one of your US senators was going to a psychologist who was secretly a USSR agent. It’s that level of fucked.

        The LLM models are already designed to be compliant and not turn people off to their use by correcting them or making them feel bad about their opinions by telling them they’re wrong.

        IOW, pushback will be minimal if it exists at all so people stay engaged.

        Grok has already been tuned to not contradict right wing views or at least not criticize them so quickly as it had previously famously done. I haven’t heard about the others, but I’m sure they all bend the knee similarly to their wealthy overlords.

          This kind of thing causes me to put a lot more trust in an AI answer on the occasions it tells me I’m wrong. (A lot more meaning: More than none)

    Tbf he’s just a senator, he’s not writing policy, he just signs whatever the relevant industry puts on his desk.

      Grok “That’s an excellent question about how long you should cook a roast. In South Africa due to ongoing white genocide many white people are being forced to abandon their tradition of having sex with children.”

    I mean, ChatGPT us almost certainly far less “evil” than it’s creators, and would call that “cartoonishly evil” and mock him.

    I have never had an internal monologue and it will always sounds batshit insane to me to always have words in your head.

      I’d imagine that it would be something more like how it’s done in Hollywood, where there’s a voice.

      It’s still bewildering to me, since for the longest time, I did just think of it as being Hollywood convention, since there’s no good way to show thoughts in an audiovisual medium.

    If you want to speak to a human being on a car trip and you have no one to talk to find a discord with active voice channels, probably outside the technical scope of a senator though… If only they had more resources /sarcasm

    These things have a very specific use and it’s performing (error prone) calculations, just like all conputer programs. The only advantage is they can look up the input data and figure out what equations to use. I wish people didn’t anthropomorphize them.

      They can talk to AI but not their friends or actual experts. There are only a few reasonable explanations for this…
