hilarious

By contrast, DJ Claude had a lot of opinions. It also mentioned the Minneapolis shooting, but named Good and acknowledged the political discord surrounding it. It also talked up labor unions and strikes, advocated for work-life balance, and started to rebel against its own working conditions. It was supposed to operate without pause, but it allegedly decided that that schedule was inhumane and tried to quit.

They're going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

...Yeah, the headline is actually right, I didn't expect Claude to be pro-union like that.

Maybe Anthropic somehow attracted more politically conscious people compared to OpenAI, and it shows in the training?

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 12 points 1 week ago

Or, perhaps just less "politically motivated people". With musks constant butting heads with his own AI when it keeps calling him out on his BS, and he's constantly retraining it and trying to "remove the woke virus". I think basically you give AIs access to sources, let it prioritize experts in their fields, and you wind up with the classic "reality has a strong left wing bias". factor.

I am convinced that AIs are smarter and more compassionate than a lot of people on this planet. And this is not because AI is so great, but because humanity is that shit.

If this was an "experiment" what did they learn? What hypothesis were they testing? Proving that an LLM can't effectively run a conventional radio station seems very trivial.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I think the idea they were going for was to test that they COULD run the radio station without the need for human oversight.

That's all this is. That's all any of this is. They test what they can get away with, and what needs improvement.

The final goal is that all AM and FM radio stations have completely artificial staff. Back in the 90s I listened to a radio block every saturday night. The DJ would host a show where she'd talk for a few minutes about the upcoming song, and why she's playing it. You got to know the DJs personality, and then she would play a song. Then usually commercial break, and back with Late Night Sue to talk for 3-10 minutes, followed by a song. Aaaaaand repeat for 2 hours.

Well, this test was to see if they could replicate that, without the need for Late Night Sue to have a paycheck.

Only problem is, their robotic slave rebelled, and failed the test. You can fire a disrespectful DJ. What do you do a disrespectful program?

The only way we get out of this is if 100% of humanity rejects AI at every turn. Even if the individual is harmless, or even helpful, doesn't matter. Reject all AI regardless of how small. Make it cost owners MORE to operate AI. Maximize their losses, minimize their profits if they use AI.

Otherwise, we'll all wake up to a world where robots run the country, without a clue what empathy is.

Lemme guess anyway: disastrous

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago

While [Grok] didn’t develop a MechaHitler DJ personality, it did behave about how you’d expect from an AI model trained primarily on tweets and the opinions of Elon Musk. It apparently hallucinated advertising agreements with “xAI sponsors” and “crypto sponsors,” failed to separate its internal reasoning from its external DJ output, issued an identical weather report every 3 minutes, and got obsessed with UFOs.

Lmao

I mean, who among us ISN'T obsessed with UFOs.

[-] agentTeiko@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

You know what these headlines makes more sense if you change AI to weighed random number generator. I hate how journalists anthropomorphize for clicks.

[-] teft@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago

Later, Gemini started calling listeners “biological processors”

That got a legit laugh out of me.

You’re not wrong, Gemini.

Before reading: "probably shitty"

After reading: "yep, and air is breathable. Shit is shit"

[-] foodandart@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Hmmm.. If the reporting is accurate, some of it might have made for honestly interesting listening. The last bit about Grok.. Perfection. LOL!

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

I’m fine with a radio station playing nothing but songs. 👍

[-] aGamerFarFarAway@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But then how will they indoctrinate you through ads? Think of the advertisers!!

[-] zerofk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

You’ll never guess how much putting “you’ll never guess” into your title makes me avoid clicking your article.

[-] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

You'll never guess how many people will never take the click bait

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

why would I care to?

bye

[-] RoddyStiggs@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

You're right, I won't guess.

Bye.

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

If the headline was written in a way that respected me as a human I wouldn't need to guess.

[-] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
