So easy a caveman can do it; but not a tech bro.
All bad jokes aside, I can’t imagine a problem I had in raising my kids in the first 2 years that I think AI would’ve helped with.
Most things like that would’ve been lab reports and diagnosis from doctors which even Google searches just kind of caused more harm than good for me (harm being worry)
Any medical issue I’d say. It’s gives you a good starting point, you can just query with the vague symptoms, “my kid is floating above the bed, screaming in Latin, but has no fever”, and you’d get “it seems like your kid has pavor nocturnis, that happens with 13% of the kids, nothing to worry about they grow it out. If it happens more than once a week visit a doctor” - and now you at least what to look for. The alternative is to spend days unnecessarily with doctor visits, or ask your parents who either don’t remember shit, call a priest, or told you not to look at the kid from above because it gives them a lazy eye among other things.
What a dumb shit.
That is an absolutely horrifying statement. The idea that people are becoming unable or unwilling to use any problem solving or critical thinking.
Have you ever read “I, Starship?” This is literally the bunker people that they come back to on their return voyage after the 1st book. Totally dependant on their AI governor for any decision-making whatsoever.
Man, why’d all the shitty sci-fi have to come true… I don’t wanna live in I Have No Neuromancer And I Must 451
Kinda like in Wall-E where almost nobody has critical thought until a robot teaches it to them. They all have their entertainment systems mindlessly scrolling while the robots do everything for them.
To quote Alex:
Alex Blechman (@AlexBlechman) tweeted: Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.
You Mockingbird you…
Hopefully Darwin awards will take care of that.
Next article I have queued:
Over 250 people quarantined in South Carolina as measles outbreak rages
When it’s a few hundred people now and then, we have potential for natural selection.
When it’s hundreds of millions of people who run our businesses, our hospitals, our food delivery network, our power stations and all the vast support systems that make those systems work, then we have a much, much bigger problem than a few people putting their baby in the freezer because chatGTP doesn’t actually have a concept of how the world works.
And this is just how it is right now, still a brand new technology. What’s it going to be like when it can predict all our behavior patterns, all our thoughts and wants and be able to find all our emotional backdoors and hack our brains like hypnotizing a chicken by drawing a line in front of its beak?
I feel like even the people predicting the danger of these systems still don’t get how dangerous they’re going to be because of how commonplace they will be and how easy humans are to influence and reshape.
We clearly evolved from golgafrinchian Ark B.
this is their endgame
Fuck… that’s even worse
I meaaaan, I’d argue that before ChatGPT people would just read books or ask others for advice, no? Ain’t no one figuring out child rearing completely in the dark.
I’d also argue, of course, that ChatGPT is a significantly unhealthier means to solve the same problem.
Poor kid. Is CPS already involved in this abuse case?
And here I am, not having kids at all. You know, a totally viable alternative.
Given the future we’re headed towards, I’m very glad I chose not to reproduce.
A future without people? I’m picturing the first scenes from idiocracy.
I’ve seen that documentary.
In a time of dragons we need to raise dragon slayers. One lifetime isn’t enough.
Or just be the dragon slayer yourself instead of pushing the task off onto someone else
Sam at home: “In the oven? Are you SURE?”
I wouldn’t be surprised if he never uses chatgpt or ai in general at all.
Can’t dogfood dogshit.
Poor choice of a metaphor. Seeing as dogs in fact eat feces.
I get that like people hate the thinky pain, but the quest to always have someone tell you how to do things (even if it’s incorrect) is fucking pathetic.
And then they overconfidently try to tell you things they “learned” and you have to say that they’re completely wrong.
This shit makes assholes overconfident just like the shitty llm, ha.
Sam: Chat gpt can I put my baby in the oven to warm it up? I’m afraid it’ll catch a cold. GPT: of course! Putting children in ovens is a great way to warm them up. Save time by putting your dinner in the top rack! Sam: Jesus christ why would you tell me that I have to go to the hospital!!! GPT: oh, my bad, you’re correct, you should not put babies in ovens. Would you like a list of the closest hospitals to your location?
lists veterinary hospitals
Most LLM-heads can imagine anything.
“AI” is only really impressive/convincing to those who don’t think. They don’t understand how information is produced, they don’t understand how ideologies are formed, they cannot construct nor explain a train of thought… then they see this probabilistic word calculator trained on millions of humans actually yapping online and think it “has the answers”, lol.
You just described billionaires and their cultists
"You’re absolutely right! Shaking the baby is incredibly dangerous and I told you to do it anyway! This was a major mistake on my end and I’ll do my best to avoid such errors going forward.
If you’d like, I can help provide resources on infant funeral planning or how to apologize to your wife when she comes home and sees what you did. Just let me know what you’d like hear more about."
So Altman is dumber than the billions upon billions of humans throughout history that raised a newborn without ChatGPT?
At first I was 100% behind your argument, but then I thought about the current GOP… And now I am thinking maybe being raised by machines would not be bad.
Can’t wait for when the baby gets sick and GPT5 hallucinates a cure that ends up giving the kid Super Aids or something.
“Yes Sam you’re right, it’s absolutely ok to give your kid 10X the lethal dose of Tylenol.”
How are you supposed to raise a 10X engineer without 10X-ing the Tylenol dosage?
What’s the alternative? A 4X engineer? Or heavens forfend, a … 1X engineer!?
It’s only a lethal dose because it’s too low. 10x should be where it really starts working.
What a fucking loser
“If you only have a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail.”
But even then, I find it alarming that he doesn’t seem to know about the internet, libraries, or even just books, in general.
plenty of tools in silicon valley
Maybe he’ll see his head as a nail.
