"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.

Hah, nice read.
It's always been wild to me how the idea of "a future AI threatens incredible suffering if you don't help it come into existence" sparks "oh, then I better help create the torture-AI" in people, rather than "what the fuck, that's evil and cruel, let's make sure this doesn't come to pass".
But of course, the Rolo folks start from the notion that this AI is 100% inevitable, at which point... There's no need to sadistically torture people.
In the same vein as "God can't be all-powerful and all-good":
The AGI either doesn't exist, or has no need to torture people.
