Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Unforeseen issues with training AIs using the internet: every LLM has been taught to Rickroll

Delightfully non-ominous bio on @getlindy@x.com
See, I actually don't hate the idea of engineering and automating away parts of work. Work, almost by definition, sucks. If it didn't suck we wouldn't think of it as "work."
But the current model of AI is less trying to free humanity from work than it is freeing work from humanity. Take the important business of making the line go up away from the grubby hands of people who need things like "food" and "healthcare" as a necessary precondition for working, to say nothing of their desires for "dignity" or "respect". Even creative and artistic work that gets underpaid in exchange for being something people can be innately passionate about can be taken away from those people and fed a diet of raw electricity and compute.
Yea, there's a lot of work from which it's quite worthwhile to free humanity. It's just that an AI company having that as its tagline and full contents of its social media bio reads with a very particular anime villain cadence. Makes me think of Seymour Guado in Final Fantasy X vowing to "free the world of its sorrow".,
Rick Astley is absolutely the Auron here, hanging on ~~unsent~~ for decades waiting for a chance to set things right.
Is that why the network is haunted?
I've been strategically misdirecting summoners for years trying to find a way to take down the big tech maesters but I only have so many fiends.
alright I'm gonna replay FFX now I'll see you all in a month.
This is just an alternative universe spira where the maesters are the ones peddling forbidden machina.
ong this is the funniest shit i've seen in a while, pls be real
I mean, "here's the video you asked for" is a pretty standard setup for a Rick roll, so it's definitely in the training data, and if it doesn't have an actual URL to link it's going to fill in something if it starts to spit out an affirmative response, which as we've seen is a really standard failure mode for these systems.
Nobody expects the spanish rickroll.
