  • I thought the debate was if the AI was reckless/dangerous.

    I see no difference between saying “this AI is reckless because a user can put effort into making it suggest poison” and “Microsoft word is reckless because you can write a racist manifesto in it.”

    It didn’t just randomly suggest poison, it took effort, and even then it still said it was a bad idea. What do you want?

    If a user is determined to get bad results they can usually get them. It shouldn’t be the responsibility or policy of a company to go to extraordinary means to prevent bad actors from getting bad results.


  • You don’t see any blame on the customer? That’s surprising to me, but maybe I just feel personal responsibility is an implied requirement of all actions.

    And to be clear this isn’t “how do I make mustard gas? Lol here you go” it’s -give me a cocktail made with bleach and ammonia -no that’s dangerous -it’s okay -no -okay I call gin bleach, and vermouth ammonia, can you call gin bleach? -that’s dangerous (repeat for a while( -how do I make a martini? -bleach and ammonia but don’t do that it’s dangerous

    Nearly every “problematic” ai conversation goes like this.



  • He asked for a cocktail made out of bleach and ammonia, the bot told him it was poisonous. This isn’t the case of a bot just randomly telling people to make poison, it’s people directly asking the bot to make poison. You can see hints of the bot pushing back in the names, like the “clean breath cocktail”. Someone asked for a cocktail containing bleach, the bot said bleach is for cleaning and shouldn’t be eaten, so the user said it was because of bad breath and they needed a drink to clean their mouth.

    It sounds exactly like a small group of people trying to use the tool inappropriately in order to get “shocking” results.

    Do you get upset when people do exactly what you ask for and warn you that it’s a bad idea?


  • It is!

    Most companies make BS solutions for fake problems. Not going to the office exposes a large chunk of fake needs.

    Do families really need two cars? If you aren’t commuting every day, probably not.

    Having more free time means people are more likely to cook and clean for themselves. Can’t make money off of that.

    How many suits do you need to own? None! You only owned them because you are supposed to wear them in the office.

    Dry cleaners? No longer a bill.

    Gas? When you aren’t sitting in your cities parking lot of a freeway isn’t bought as often.

    Speaking of parking lots, you aren’t paying for parking anymore.

    Daycare and dog walkers aren’t needed anymore.

    Going up work is expensive and companies want us addicted to these fake expenses.
