Shame alone isn't enough though, especially not for the stuff people do in private, like ask LLMs for advice. Push too much shame and people might just end up simply doing it without telling anyone.
I think rephrasing the main point of the essay "Teach people enough, and they will understand that any use is misuse" can be a very powerful idea.
Teach people about germs, contaminants and proper technique, before shaming them into washing their hands.
Ahh sh*t if all my rent-seeking employee-reducing dreams come true, i'll lose money on my product subscriptions rents! Quick! I should come up with bullshit that will solve everything!
🤓☝️ technically AP is a non-profit providing a (worldwide) public utility service. (On paper and mostly in practice it's a journalist co-op). Her Job is to report factual information correctly, that's (at least historically) the whole selling point of wire services.
Looking at her wiki page:
[...] spent two years at The Tampa Tribune before joining the Associated Press (AP) in 2007 as a video producer. She was the AP's first multimedia political journalist. Pace covered the 2008 presidential election and began covering the White House [...]
Definitely a journalist by training, given her career journey, it makes sense that she champions video content. But still, amongst the six senior VPs at AP, she has title the "Executive Editor", arguably the most "Journalist" title of all of them. (Chief Technology Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, General Counsel/Corporate Secretary, Executive Editor, Chief Financial Officer, Chief People Officer)
One funny (definition of funny not included, conditions may apply) bit from the AP article:
The AP is trying new forms of fact-checking, including use of video, and more often putting its journalists in public to explain how they got particular stories, she [Julie Pace, Senior VP at AP] said.
Call me crazy, but that isn't fact-checking right? At the most charitable this is education/fact-conveying, not the actual important groundwork of fact-checking and editing.
The replausibility crisis.
Also importantly, WAY too praising of Anthropic.
He almost certainly got the info in other places, but I find it profoundly amusing to think that in the past the AI Advisor to the Pope, may have stumbled into our corner of the internet.
For the non-French speakers among us:
In this vision for the world, democracy understood as the self-governance of equal citizens is already dead — and there only remains shrouded in the darkness of a data center, the clinical administration of its corpse.
Missed opportunity to say that exciting developments were a 1000 days away ^^.
It's in a superposition of being both AI and not AI before anyone checks, that's how quantum work right? No wait! Don't check! [* Reality Destruction Noises *]
Actually the race-realism use last week, combined with this one, makes me realize that for them it's just a fancy way of saying "world-view" [or what they consider to exist, and be true, which is not the craziest use of the word, but I would say unhelpful, and probably a small in-group marker].
It's just a way of calling biases/prejudice legitimate.
And you know what, inasmuch the models have a "world-view" it IS annoyingly american in many ways. (at least the wrong kind of american.)
@ESYudkowsky: Remember when you were a kid and thought you might have psychic powers, so you dealt yourself face-down playing cards and tried to guess whether they were red or black, and recorded your accuracy rate over several batches of tries?

And then remember how you had absolutely no idea to do stats at that age, so you stayed confused for a while longer?
Apologies for the usage of the japanese; but it is a very apt description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chūnibyō,
I don't meet that many people either, but I get the general vibe that people understand that it's somewhat shitty, but it still fills a social need (compare/contrast horoscopes).
Completely anecdotally, I recently saw a short video of a french woman, saying to an impressive know-it-all-tv-quizz-champion [intended as a compliment I think]: "Wow you sound like Chat GPT!"
Too me that was very illustrative of the perception of Chat GPT from a less tech-literate perspective.
