Nah. There are far easier ways to end an 81 year old. They’d be the most Wish-level assassins ever. Even trump would pay better than that.

Neat. My next wish is to end world hunger.
Go!

It was just a post about how AI works.

This is the full context:

Do you have a kickstarter?

(e: Oh, wait, I was thinking of the political ecology, not making ecology political. I still agree with you, though. Perhaps slightly less enthusiastically.)

Step 1: use all the cheese.
Step 2: …
Step 3: profit

My favourite lately is putting them in a logic loop. Eventually, they get fake-frustrated.

Holy shit, really?

Unlike much clickbait, this one is true.

Remember folks: the reason we’re so successful as humans throughout the past 100,000 years is because of empathy. We take care of each other, and that makes us strong. The fascist ‘everyone for themself’ mentality will doom us. Don’t let sociopaths spread their mental cancer.

Come on, people now, smile on your brother.

They had Adam in therapy. It sounds like they were getting him the help he needed, but ChatGPT told him it was his closest friend and to hide his feelings from his parents and others. If that was happening, whatever mental healthcare he was getting would have been undermined by the AI.

Illegal != immoral

It’s a party in your pants!

Yeah, I’m more surprised they had any sort of DEI language to begin with (of course it was clearly just pandering, so).

I parented a teen boy. Sometimes, no matter what you do and no matter how close you were before puberty, a switch flips outside your control and they won’t talk to you anymore. We were a typical family, no abuse, no fighting, nobody on drugs, both parents with 9-5 office jobs, very engaged with school and etc.

Thankfully, after riding it out (getting him therapy, giving space, respect, and support), he came out the other side fine. But there were a few harrowing years during that phase.

I went through a similar phase in my teens. If AI was there to feed my issues, I might not have survived it. Teenage hormones are a helluva drug.

Everyone who’s dealt with kids knows you have to bisect the giraffe equally from nose to tail so everyone gets 2 legs, or somebody will cry that it’s unfair.

The hospital did this with my son, too.

I’d already told them before he was born we weren’t having him circumcised, but a nurse showed up the morning after to take him, and I’m glad I was awake, because they weren’t going to ask me. I groggily asked ‘where are you taking him?’ as she was walking away (I figured it was for blood work), and she said, ‘oh, you’re up? For his circumcision’. ‘No, no, we’re not doing that.’ She put him back in the crib.

They just assumed, and then it showed up on my bill. Took months to get the charge removed.

I’m not religious, and we don’t need to routinely mutilate baby penises, thanks.

Where’ssss my foreskin, preciousss?

He looks like licking him would let me see sooooo many colours. Why tasty look if not tasty?

Fucking socialist fungi.
