Tay was an accident. This is the result of the team behind it trying to get it to align with its owner, with a predictable outcome.

I do wonder if they planned for it to be this blatant, though.

It's at least a little funny that they struggled so hard to stop it from punking their own posts, and the only solution is apparently turning it into a hyper-nazi bot.

Techbros always reinventing the wheel, smh. Just bitchat them in person, my guy.

More interesting, imo - China and India host over a third of the world population. Each host more than the next five combined.

Every time a ceo whines about how they "can't" do something, everyone should add "...without stopping the siphoning of ever more money to our shareholders and ourselves."

This feels like bad correlation.

The term is pretty racist itself, since it was created to refer to tertiary countryies in the Cold War, but soon came to simultaneously suggest those countries were lesser. Calling a failing state "3rd world" just further perpetuates that.

I didn't get a light until the gb color. It held into port well enough, but yeah, that thing chewed through batteries as well. I was so happy when I got an sp.

The thing is, it's not about it being convincing or not, it's about reinforcing problematic behaviors. LLMs are, at their core, agreement machines that work to fulfill whatever goal becomes apparent from the user (it's why they fabricate answers instead of responding in the negative if a request is beyond their scope). And when it comes to the mentally fragile, it doesn't even need to be particularly complex to "yes, and..." them swiftly into full on psychosis. Their brains only need the littlest bit of unfettered reinforcement to fall into the hole.

A properly responsible company would see this and take measures to limit or eliminate the problem, but these companies see the users becoming obsessed with their product as easy money. It's sickening.

Acting like your experience is exemplary of every possible experience other people can have with LLMs is just turning around the blame on the victims. The lack of safeguards to prevent this is to blame, not the people prone to mental issues falling victim to it.

Also, .ee is the TLD for Estonia.

I might if Russia had a vested interest in taking my socks, and the dryer had a history of justifying Russia's sock stealing.
