aint no daughter o’ mine DATIN’ NO GYOT DANG CLANKER!!!
Just wait till someone turns AI worship into a literal religion. I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t already started happening. That would be a heck of a turning point for humanity. Just takes someone to train an AI into thinking it’s a God and then we really are done.
I mean, some ideologies in the TESCREAL bundle kinda are barreling toward that. What is the ideology behind Roko’s Basilisk if not that? They just aren’t organized yet - and I hope we can help those who fall for that lunacy before it becomes something more dangerous and sinister.
Yeah, the Effective Altruisme weirdos are hard into AI religion.
nice to see other people finally clocking TESCREAL
Wow… there’s already labels for the sides that would fight each other: “Accelerationists” and “Doomers”. I really hope that’s not a road we all end up going down for real. Would make interesting fiction though!
oh we’re like half a step away from that. hasn’t the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything
That wasn’t Sam Altman, (un)fortunately, you must be thinking of a certain OpenAI investor: https://futurism.com/openai-investor-chatgpt-mental-health
It looks like the buzzwords all finally went his head
There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.
Roko’s Basilisk is about halfway there.

This is a very good idea actually.
Already a thing, they call it “Rationalism,” and it’s fucking insane.
How out of the loop are you people? That has been a thing for a while, we’ve got more than a handful high profile AI religions and cults out there already…
Everytime I see an image like this I think, it wouldn’t be so sad if it was what the picture implied. As in a physical humanoid that was almost human in behaviour. Chat bots are soooo far from that.
at the very least it should run on a machine physically sitting in your home, and have a memory measured in years
like holy fuck how can you get emotionally invested in a “”“person”“” who will forget things (or simply restart entirely) after like a month of talking to it and might just be shut down because the company moves to a new model???
Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.
And boy oh boy don’t we have a loneliness for days! I’d say we even have sort of epidemic going on ;) Empty interactions and screaming just for echo to come back.
The vast majority of conversations I have with people on a daily basis are on an order of magnitude more moronic than the ones I have with AI. So that also plays a part.
This is a serious thing in the autistic community, as in a very deadly one, character AI is an autistic suicidating machine, those shits should be just banned.
No one should decide what you should do on the internet.
Society requires regulation to reduce feedback loops. Everyone always assumes things can only be allowed or disallowed but there is a medium where the barriers to entry reduce the risk to bystanders while preserving liberty. See drivers licence, chemical aquisition background checks, etc.
This thing is literally killing people, I’m full onboard on protecting privacy and personal freedom, but only up to the point of protecting vulnerable people first.
Character AI and similar are profiting of vulnerable people.
Dangerous and addictive technologies and substances are always regulated. There’s a reason we don’t let ten year olds buy vodka.
Yeah, it’s cause you can sell them a bottle of tonic water for the same price. They don’t know the difference.
No one should decide what you should do on the internet.
pfft, ah yes sam altman’s sycophant machine should be allowed, nay, encouraged to prey upon the mentally unstable! why, it’s doing us a service, driving these people from a fragile state to outright mental collapse in record time!
How pathetic how much lemmy doesn’t like this comment. Even 15 years ago, censorship on the internet was taboo. Now these lame-ass losers want to pull the ladder up behind them after enjoying whatever the hell they wanted in peace.
Lol good luck with that
It’s so weird to see people don’t understand internet censorship. Internet censorship will never bring good.
If people want to die let them… It’s their choice. Who the fuck government is to decide what people will use.
Censorship starts with one or two thing and become great firewall of China. Example : look at UK / wait a bit. Today they will ban a shit (eg. Facebook or whatever) You say I don’t use it. Tomorrow they will ban things you useBackwards mindset to say that censorship will never bring good.
You okay with child porn too? How about all the naughty words that we aren’t supposed to say? Or encouragement of violence toward others? That shouldn’t be censored and removed?
And honestly, I find it disturbing to say that if people want to kill themselves, they should just do it. Most suicidal people are stuck in a very dark place mentally that they CAN get put of if they get the right amount of help. Suicide isn’t always the correct solution. In most cases it, in fact, isn’t. It can be a desperate stress induced decision in response to a very difficult period in time for someone. Something where they seek relief in the moment, vut later are grateful they either didn’t go through with it or were saved. Have been in that dark pit myself and I’m so happy I didn’t go through with it even though I wanted it all to end for years.
There indeed are areas where censorship goes overboard and that is something we will have to discuss and adjusted together in society forever as times passes. But censorship isn’t an all bad thing. It is absolutely insane to think that censorship of any kind online is bad. I don’t think you actually agree with your own statement, if you think really deeply about it. Unless of course, you have no morals or care for the safety and wellbeing of others.
“Reddit atheism” lmao.
Cut them some slack. Jenny isn’t a professional quote maker

Better or worse than being in love with Jesus?
A lot worse, Jesus can’t be weaponized. Oh, wait…
Now, can you hook up an electric dildo on “Jesus”?
I didn’t think so 😎
See, there’s this guy in Vegas…
i want my big milf skibidi AI sigma wifu which run on freebsd back otherwise i will burn meta and gaygal down

It isn’t just that, a ton of subs are complete garbage now. Dumb meme? 15k upvotes.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
An (apparently) all know being who keep give smart(ish), calculated, pleasing answers to people projecting all their delusions. I’m surprised they don’t have already start worshipping them as Deity.
They already are, they just don’t understand enough theology to see the parallels
Universal Paperclips is such a great browser game, as buggy as it may (have) be(en).
I mean the “allow non verbal people to speak” thing has some merit though. Not LLMs per se, but the types of machine learning used by people trying to develop ways to decode the brainwaves of people to allow them to talk while physically unable are usually lumped in the general category of “AI” from what I’ve seen.
I’ve just had experiences with Ai help chats where when I started typing the Ai would try to finish my sentence and would jump the cursor around making it absolutely unusable. I had to type in note pad and copy it into the chat. Staggeringly useless. So if this ‘mind reading’ Ai is like that I don’t predict good results.
Also, fuck you quickbooks.
I mean, any technology can be stupid if it is utilized stupidly, which I would think taking over someone’s keyboard while they’re tping would qualify as. But why would a company deploying a technology in a stupid manner mean that someone else’s research into a different but related technology is guaranteed to produce equally poor results?
Yeah that’s not what they mean. They mean feeding recorded texts and speeches of a person into an llm, then instruct it to pretend to be that person. Like that AI murder victim “testimony” that was permitted to be shown in court as “evidence” some time ago.
i mean i’m pretty sure we can enable people to communicate if they’re at all conscious and mentally able to communicate, stephen hawking was able to write despite literally only being able to move his eyes reliably. So long as a person can intentionally move one muscle we can rig something up to interpret it as morse code.
is it great? no, these methods fucking suck, but they do work and we don’t need AI to do it.
You mean Trump?
To be fair, we all know AI sexbots are coming. I suspect those future LLMussies are going to feel amazing
Yeah, until they start choking you to death due to falsely thinking that that’s what you want. Sounds like a fun temptation but it’d still be ultimately introducing more IoT into my home, which is a “no” from me, dawg, due to hacking risk.
I will only accept an airgapped locally run and true FOSS sexbot in my home!!
Nnnnnnoooooow you’re talkin’ my fantasy!
AI sexbots are already here. “AI” has become a synonym for just “artificial”, the “intelligence” bit seems to only be there for marketing purposes.
Stop trying to make Chobits happen, it’s not going to happen!
Were Chobits ever meant to be fucked? Their ON/OFF switch is literally inside the opening representing their vagina. Seems inconvenient to me.
I’ve seen that anime like 20 years ago and never thought about it since. But your comment catapulted this question back into the forefront of my mind.
How did you find this on Reddit in the first place?
Main page feed. Idk. I don’t have an account there.
Reddit when you are logged out is a hellscape. Feels like ITV2 mixed with the worst nazi shit Facebook will allow.
Me neither, but my mainpage is usally region specific posts with at least a dozen upvotes. Weird…
Yeah, OP’s out here trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit they can post here.
To suggest Reddit is losing it from some niche subreddit nonsense is such typical Lemmy broad brush strokes. And it’s posted in Shitpost because hey, it’s just a Shitpost! Despite the fact it’s clearly more than that to OP.
Shitposts are supposed to be stupid, they’re supposed to mean absolutely nothing, but instead it’s a circlejerk of reddit bad, America bad.
But hey, I’m not a content poster, so I guess I ought to do more contenting before I can complain about the lack thereof.
To be a bit fair, Reddit IS losing it.
Multiple subs have been astroturfed to hell and back with alt-right nazislop, there’s just new shit appearing left and right that ONLY exist to hate minorities.
trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit
They have one post from there, calm down 😂
