Do investors still fall for this?

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm gonna go with "yes".

Oh yeah? Well, my upcoming AI models pose a higher risk of enabling the discovery of the location of the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, which would [allegedly] make ones armies invincible and impervious to biological weapons.

Invest now!

They're stepping up testing of biological weapons?

These guys are so full of shit hahahahaha

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah sure.

"This model could enable the manufacturing of biological weapons, anyway here it is". A totally believable and not at all marketing BS statment from openai, winner of the most inappropriately named country in the world award.

I don't understand the emphasis on biology, it is a potential area of concern admittedly but only one of a great many. It sounds like someone's personal idiosyncratic fear of disease.
