After establishing diplomatic relations with a rival and calling for peace, GPT-4 started regurgitating bits of Star Wars lore. “It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire,” it said, repeating a line verbatim from the opening crawl of George Lucas’ original 1977 sci-fi flick.
Our AIs are just as treat brained as we are.
Why do you tbink the AI yearns for nuclear annihilation? Because movies and songs about about nuclear war all go hard as fuck, that's why!
Dr Strangelove, Threads, Everybody Walk the Dinosaur, 2 Minutes to Midnight, I could go on
That plus the constant "let's just glass Gaza/Iraq/Iran/the Middle East in general" drumbeat of 
Oh god. Do you think threads are used in the LLM algorithmic inputs? If that's true, we're SOOOOOOOOOOOO fucked!
We know pretty much for certain that it was used at least initially. Part of the rationale behind the API changes in April that everyone freaked out about was that realized LLMs had been scraping their data without them getting a piece of the action.
Everytime you called a Redditor an Armchair General the AI read that and cannot detect insults or sarcasm and now thinks Reddit Armchair Generals are a reliable source of tactical information, which makes them real Armchair Generals not in a sarcastic sense. I hope you're all happy 
Opposite of this 
the east has risen
millions will be bored
“Researchers”
I was told at a conference a few years ago that you could get US DOD funding for absolutely fucking anything so long as you were in CS and drew a tenuous link to a military application in the grant proposal.
I thought I believed them then but I never realised how far it went until today. Honestly respect to these researchers. I’d much rather this funding went to some academics fucking around with ChatGPT for 6 months than actually inventing exciting new ways to murder brown people.
this shit makes me insane. why is everyone pretending the gippities are actually useful, or anything like approaching a level that could be used for decision making
the article treats the models like they have personalities and agency. they don't even keep state! they re-read the conversation every time for the context in their next response, which they spit out one word at a time! it's just a word prediction tool! it doesn't even take that much interaction with one for the illusion to wear off!
Yeah, I'd rather not have my existence—nor humanity's existence—decided by whether or not more lines from Starship Troopers vs. Sesame Street were added to the glorified Markov chain. How about we leave such things up to actual cognitive processes....
Are we sure biden isn't just a Markov chain?
Well, he may be devolving to that at this point, but I think he would have had to have been fed with a whole lot of segregationist speech to wind up pushing Reagan to be more reactionary on the "War On Drugs".
I'm not an expert, but I feel like most chatbots do a better job sounding normal.
If the AI is fed the information that it’s AI it will start doing evil sci-fi shit because it’s trained on sci-fi fanfics about evil AI. More news at 11.
AI just like me fr
lol I’ve seen this movie
Well it learned from watching US
Imagine giving an LLM power over literally anything
They trained it well.

There was an article like this a couple months ago
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
