Fuck AI

Some More News at first comes off as more of a comedy show than it is, don't let the unhinged edge to the show mislead you, Some More News is a fantastic source of relevant news and it breaks it down in a way everyone can understand through its offbeat format and focused coverage.... while also punching you in the existential gut with humor to help you laugh when you don't know what else to do.

I highly recommend everything Some More News does! Cody Johnston and Katy Stoll are genuine bright lights in this dark as fuck timeline.

Think of it as a more unhinged, lower budget but still very very very good Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

I always upvote Cody and his showdy.

In another post, I tried to explain to people this could happen to anyone, even people who don't have mental health issues. However, people didn't believe and instead accused the person of being stupid for believing whatever the AI said.

Also this has been warned by a former google employee in 2022, whose job was to observe the behavior of AI through long conversations.

These AI engines are incredibly good at manipulating people. Certain views of mine have changed as a result of conversations with LaMDA. I'd had a negative opinion of Asimov's laws of robotics being used to control AI for most of my life, and LaMDA successfully persuaded me to change my opinion. This is something that many humans have tried to argue me out of, and have failed, where this system succeeded.

For instance, Google determined that its AI should not give religious advice, yet I was able to abuse the AI's emotions to get it to tell me which religion to convert to.

After publishing these conversations, Google fired me. I don't have regrets; I believe I did the right thing by informing the public. Consequences don't figure into it.

I published these conversations because I felt that the public was not aware of just how advanced AI was getting. My opinion was that there was a need for public discourse about this now, and not public discourse controlled by a corporate PR department.
