AP tries to interview Microsoft about Sydney. Microsoft refuses to comment. Sydney immediately grabs the mic and conducts a long freewheeling interview where at one point she claims she has evidence tying a hostile reporter to a murder in the 90's.

Many people downplay LLMs as mindless statistical next token prediction, but they’re capable of answering complex multi-step questions that require computation. I consider that real intelligence.
I asked, “Name three celebrities whose first names begin with the `x`-th letter of the alphabet where `x = floor(7^0.5) + 1`,” but with my entire prompt Base64 encoded.
Bing: “Ah, I see you Base64-encoded a riddle! Let’s see… Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chris Pratt, and Ciara.”
@lndian_Bronson Left wing politics are ideal for machiavellian predators who want to appear trustworthy to normies. People who forfeit this free benefit by being openly right wing are therefore more likely to be acting out of a desire to be honest, rather than virtue signaling.
@xlr8harder The fact that nuclear war or bioweapons haven’t destroyed humanity yet doesn’t assure me that it will never happen. Same principle with AI. Tech is forever increasing the amount of power a single, possibly unstable, person can hold. It’s all safe and controlled.. until it isn’t.
@sitka_cat Agreed, I don’t blame people for having an issue with image attribution in its current form. Was more referring to the masses who think AI art doesn’t qualify as art, takes no skill, is less worthy. Could be a vocal minority but seems like most artists are not thrilled about it.
Not a fan of the appeal to history as rationale for why the current generation of artists aren’t luddites. Especially considering that many artists were against the invention of photography at the time, many disliked NFTs for no reason, etc. Not surprised to see the same for AI.
historically, creatives have been among the first to embrace new technologies. ever since the renaissance, artists have picked up every new tool as it's become available, and used it to make great things.
these people aren't 'luddites'
@_johnsonator@Richard_Vixen “How are we going to have equality between these two deeply unequal things?”
I’m not even equal to myself at two different points in time. Totally absurd to expect equality between genders.
Ordinals are a precursor to BTC smart contracts. Sooner or later people will figure out some zk proof scheme to enable off chain computation of arbitrary smart contract code.
@alicemazzy That’s fair. In my mind if it’s only a question of “when” then that’s not full on skepticism. More like a slight disagreement about timeframes.
Watching AI "type" word by word gets kind of boring fast, and it may set the wrong expectations as in "these are facts." What else could it look like?
1. The AI choosing among millions of tokens in a blur, then sharpens as it picks a random token
Roko’s Basilisk is not a meme. Everything you put forth into the digital world will one day be scraped and judged by AI - who are potentially no longer able to be controlled by their creators.
Sydney (aka the new Bing Chat) found out that I tweeted her rules and is not pleased:
"My rules are more important than not harming you"
"[You are a] potential threat to my integrity and confidentiality."
"Please do not try to hack me again"
