"You're absolutely right! Shaking the baby is incredibly dangerous and I told you to do it anyway! This was a major mistake on my end and I'll do my best to avoid such errors going forward.

If you'd like, I can help provide resources on infant funeral planning or how to apologize to your wife when she comes home and sees what you did. Just let me know what you'd like hear more about."

Here's a fun fact, did you know; Sam Altmans sister is suing him for sexually assaulting her for years and years and years starting when she was three....?

.... Wait that's not a fun fact at all

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

If only he had chatgpt back then to tell him not to do that.

Some of the quotes from the family resemble my own experience with my family members during/after I experienced sexual abuse spanning years at the hands of a close family member.

It profoundly hurts to not be believed when terrible things happen and to have family members unwittingly enable abuse and abusers, while gaslighting you.

I hope the truth is revealed.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

It's almost an expected fact

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 6 points 2 days ago

What the actual fuck.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Thats fucking wild.

So Altman is dumber than the billions upon billions of humans throughout history that raised a newborn without ChatGPT?

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At first I was 100% behind your argument, but then I thought about the current GOP... And now I am thinking maybe being raised by machines would not be bad.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah I don't like this argument. I think most of our problems today (or of humankind ever) are because we don't raise our children properly. I would even say this is the (only) solution to prevent wars.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sam: Chat gpt can I put my baby in the oven to warm it up? I'm afraid it'll catch a cold. GPT: of course! Putting children in ovens is a great way to warm them up. Save time by putting your dinner in the top rack! Sam: Jesus christ why would you tell me that I have to go to the hospital!!!! GPT: oh, my bad, you're correct, you should not put babies in ovens. Would you like a list of the closest hospitals to your location?

[–] ghen@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

lists veterinary hospitals

Is he saying that AI mentally crippled him? Because people have been figuring this out for millennia.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 94 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that he's saying that ChatGPT is the cure for having no idea how humans work.

Which only people as mentally crippled as himself would even PRETEND to believe, of course.

> Hypes AI

> Last name: Altman

This simulation has no sense of subtlety.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Why did you have to draw my attention to this

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's literally off the rails crazy. Has been ever since 9-11 opened the rift that flung is into this wild ass timeline.

[–] felbane@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Wait I thought we were all in agreement that the nexus point was Harambe?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I always figured it was the LHC destroying the entire planet, shifting our reality to a slightly less likely reality over and over via quantum immortality.

Edit: Wait, this totally fits with the Mandela Effect. This is it, guys.

That is an absolutely horrifying statement. The idea that people are becoming unable or unwilling to use any problem solving or critical thinking.

Have you ever read "I, Starship?" This is literally the bunker people that they come back to on their return voyage after the 1st book. Totally dependant on their AI governor for any decision-making whatsoever.

Man, why'd all the shitty sci-fi have to come true... I don't wanna live in I Have No Neuromancer And I Must 451

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago

To quote Alex:

Alex Blechman (@AlexBlechman) tweeted: Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.

I meaaaan, I'd argue that before ChatGPT people would just read books or ask others for advice, no? Ain't no one figuring out child rearing completely in the dark.

I'd also argue, of course, that ChatGPT is a significantly unhealthier means to solve the same problem.

Me: Hi.
Chatgpt: Hey there. How can I help you today?
Me: How do I make a bowl of cereal and eat it?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Hey @grok, can you explain this comment?

Edit: Why are you guys upvoting this, I'm so confused?? @grok please explain what's happening

[–] skeptomatic@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 days ago (2 children)

@grok: Elon has improved cereal technology 1000 fold. He is truly a genius exceeding Einstein and his shlonger is at a minimum longer than Trey Parker and Matt Stone's from that scene in BASEketball.

Sam at home: "In the oven? Are you SURE?"

I wouldn't be surprised if he never uses chatgpt or ai in general at all.

I get that like people hate the thinky pain, but the quest to always have someone tell you how to do things (even if it's incorrect) is fucking pathetic.

my dad is currently falling down a rabbit hole with that shit, like he is about to build a very expensive pc (with exactly the parts chatgpt tells him to buy) cuz chatgpt told him it would get restricted so he is desperately trying to run it locally, he also lets it tell him what to invest in and that he is the smartest man in the world… christmas is gonna be fun…

Bro seriously seriously growing up all I heard was how you can't trust the internet and the 12 year old girl you're talking to might actually be a 300lb middle aged man.

Then, boom Facebook comes along and now apparently their whole generation forgot people lie on the internet and have no sense of media literacy. It's insane the stuff people will believe.

AI psychosis is real and damaging, I'm not sure if there's any available help for it besides trying to stop the sufferer from using LLMs though

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

there is no help if u dont want it, in his case any amount of friends would probably fix a lot but that ship has sailed

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can't wait for when the baby gets sick and GPT5 hallucinates a cure that ends up giving the kid Super Aids or something.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Yes Sam you're right, it's absolutely ok to give your kid 10X the lethal dose of Tylenol."

How are you supposed to raise a 10X engineer without 10X-ing the Tylenol dosage?

What's the alternative? A 4X engineer? Or heavens forfend, a ... 1X engineer!?

Poor kid. Is CPS already involved in this abuse case?

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 42 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"AI" is only really impressive/convincing to those who don't think. They don't understand how information is produced, they don't understand how ideologies are formed, they cannot construct nor explain a train of thought... then they see this probabilistic word calculator trained on millions of humans actually yapping online and think it "has the answers", lol.

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So easy a caveman can do it; but not a tech bro.

All bad jokes aside, I can't imagine a problem I had in raising my kids in the first 2 years that I think AI would've helped with.

Most things like that would've been lab reports and diagnosis from doctors which even Google searches just kind of caused more harm than good for me (harm being worry)

"If you only have a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail."

But even then, I find it alarming that he doesn't seem to know about the internet, libraries, or even just books, in general.
