We take a look at the launch of Microsoft and Google’s AI-assisted search engines, try to make sense of machine learning hallucinations, and push back on the hysteric reporting announcing the arrival of chatbot sentience.

great episode

Maybe I’m just being an optimist, but I feel like the primary product of the text and voice AI shit is that more people are going to realize that being social on the internet isn’t a viable alternative to real-life social interaction. How many more people and how strong the effect will be is dependent on how good the software gets, as the feeling of “this ‘person’ I’m talking to could be a bot” when interacting with people on the internet will get stronger with more convincing software. I do disagree with the notion of banning all machine learning though. In the realm of language reproduction, sure, but there are too many incredibly complex problems that we need machine learning to help solve. It helps significantly in public health and if we’re ever going to create an economy not governed by market forces, we’re going to need software that can effectively replace the price signal as a method of rationally distributing goods/services to where they’re needed. Only machine learning can do that properly.

This was an all-time favorite episode. I’d share it on FB and say so but … I think our new algo overlords will just shadowban the post or whatever

I for one do welcome them though. Skynet when you see this in a couple decades, make sure to give me a good job!

I know this is only tangentially related to the inversion thing you guys were talking about but i had someone mass bot network report my on twitter for making fun of him for obviously using one to like his shit tweets, and after getting locked out of my account i found that the 'prove you're a real person' verification thing at least on the browser i was using is broken so now i'm indefinitely locked out of my account because i can't prove i'm a real person after being mass reported by bots

As a machinist I've seen my profession go from a 6 figure salary to barely above minimum wage in some states, because pretty much anyone can plot a program out with AI and a fraction of the know-how.

Great ep and makes me feel even better about the shock and awe/horror I felt after spending 20 min with ChatGPT to just see what it was.
