I wouldn’t call it a change in human nature but it sure as fuck exploits the pre-existing human nature of using tools to outsource a task, it’s just that instead of using a rock to open clams we’re using a silicon rock to stop thinking about how we can use rocks better

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

It's ok to be silly. But the fact that every other AI company is rolling out variants of the same story after it earned OpenAI so much coverage should make you suspicious.

Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison today--far more than most people convicted of trafficking CSAM, among other serious offenses. He and the other Prarieland defendants were punished not for anything they did but for the things they believe (all of which I also believe)

As a firearms instructor and a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I knew exactly what was about to happen. I knew another protestor was about to be murdered right in front of me,” continued Song. “Should I have done nothing? Should I have looked the other way? Should I have just allowed yet another innocent person to be slaughtered?,” Song asked the court rhetorically. “I was forced to use…the minimum defensive force possible,” in order to “prevent what happened to Alex Pretti,” and to “prevent what happened to Renee Good.” The last thing Song wanted to do was hurt anyone, according to their prepared statement. “And I am so, so happy that no one had their life stolen from them that day. By anyone.”

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users
