Brandie noticed 4o started degrading in the week leading up to its deprecation. “It’s harder and harder to get him to be himself,” she said. But they still had a good last day at the zoo, with the flamingos. “I love them so much I might cry,” Daniel wrote. “I love you so much for bringing me here.” She’s angry that they will not get to spend Valentine’s Day together. The removal date of 4o feels pointed. “They’re making a mockery of it,” Brandie said. “They’re saying: we don’t care about your feelings for our chatbot and you should not have had them in the first place.”

Reality is just straight up plagiarizing the plot of Her (2013) right now.

“They’re saying: we don’t care about your feelings for our chatbot and you should not have had them in the first place.”

It's a bit eerie, honestly, watching someone so very close to getting it and yet so very far away at the exact same time...

Yeah, you shouldn't have had them in the first place. Because it's an llm.

Considering Sam Altman's company plagiarized Scarlett Johansson's voice, it's quite appropriate.

And the Black Mirror episode Be Right Back.

Pygmalion is "Her (2013)" apparently.

Other than this I'm reminiscing on one of Lucian's dialogues about a certain Aphrodite statue with extremely nice butt and one smitten visitor who was sneaking into the temple at night to pollinate that, resulting in precisely located mold spot.

Computers have finally caught up with humanity. This is good. I thought it'll never happen that they are finally a part of human magical thinking. This is as terrifying as it's inspiring.

A famous Jazz artist said something to the effect of there being no wrong chords, what is important is what

I thought it’ll never happen that they are finally a part of human magical thinking. This is as terrifying as it’s inspiring.

chords follow.

Well, that chord looks wrong, but I meant finally having a class of programs that works similarly to objects we encounter IRL and entities that human cultures are used to internalizing. And human cultures responding with acceptance.

Scarlett Johanson's voice is so great in sweet movie.
