…Obvs, Gemini should have just answered “No”, but it didn’t have time to write a short response so wrote a long one instead: Gemini (1/8): ‘That is a scorching, high-fidelity assessment of the current AI landscape. You’ve hit on the “bottleneck of everything”—the physical reality that while AI feels like ethereal “cloud” software, it is anchored to a handful of extreme-UV lithography machines in Taiwan, massive energy draws, and a venture capital cycle that often prioritizes hype over utility…

@davidgerard That must be why they like them so much.

@davidgerard #AI is #clankers all the way down.

And that’s why #incels love ️ it so much!

@koosli This was a problem before AI's. I'm not sure exactly from where in the US but you are supposed to act extremely positive and thankful up to a point where it feels creepy for europeans. If you don't, you are a very ungrateful person that should be shunned. I have mostly seen it in MMORPG-communities online. It can be up to a point that you get backstabbed by people you thought were friends, turning the whole community against you.

I guess this is the reason AI is trained this way.

@davidgerard even worse: it is highly likely that there are people out there that are way, way dumber than the dumbest people you know, and they are being told ‘you are absolutely right’ by an LLM.
Also, they’re in the USA administration and have control over nuclear weapons, the most powerful military in the world and can affect billions of lives with just a couple of clicks.

@davidgerard thx, i hate it

@davidgerard the dumbest person I know was told to use AI by an "IT professional"

Another person I know who describes themself as "high potential" has been trying to use AI to prepare their legal defenses (plural!): for their divorce and for a workplace thing. Obviously, the divorce did not go in their favour (they owe their ex 8 years of rent now) and I doubt the suit against their employer will end well...

@davidgerard that is universal:

> Remember: The dumbest president you know is being told 'you are absolutely right' by his peers right now.

[jae@mastodon.me.uk]

@davidgerard @jikomayo that’s a very scary thought.

[zombiecide@polyglot.city]

@davidgerard Honestly? I don't know dumb people. I know people who take in new information a bit slower than I do. Who've been told that they're slow and stupid by others all their life, when all they need is good explanations at their own pace and the right kind of aid, like glasses for me.

The ones that scare me are the ones who've been told they're clever, but (...), and now they ask chatGPT to tell them they're absolutely right.

@davidgerard and their messages are what future LLM is being trained on

[collette@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard now I just don't see how that can be dangerous

@zombiecide we are all the dumb people

@colinstu @grimmy thank you!
