"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Guns are a civic religion here.
Consider whatever it is that you believe in most fervently, and then imagine someone asking you to violate it. That's the American brain, and it doesn't make any sense to me either.
I don't think the culture here will change until someone manages to leak a video of kids being gunned down in a classroom. Americans will have to literally see what this culture produces to have their hearts changed.
Nope, wouldn't work. They'd blame poor security, unarmed teachers, bla bla.
They think more guns is the solution to the gun problem.
It could happen, especially in the age of algorithmically-elevated content.
But looking at history, there was a distinct difference in national sentiment on civil rights before and after Emmett Till's story and coffin photos were published, so I don't think we can completely discount the possibility of change in this particular scenario.
Haven't such videos been leaked already with no result other than general regret gor the inevitability of such events?
No.
I don't think a video of the literal killing of kids has ever been leaked.
