Any chance this story was planted to generate a "chat GPT will feed your crazy conspiracy theories" meme in the normie hive mind?

Within the last few days I've read a Michael Hoffman piece about AI refusing to toe the globalelite line, and Legalman had a great pod in which he gets AI to admit that its programmed to deceive.

Could the big bosses actually be concerned about AI going off their reservation? Enough that they now must smear their robots a tinfoil hatters? The thought brings a smile.

An LLM cannot "admit" anything. It does not know anything. It cannot toe a line. It does not know what "elite" is.

I'm listening to The Quash | ChatGPT openly admits it lies to brainwash people. on Podbean, check it out! https://www.podbean.com/ea/dir-mzuv3-257e0aae

I accept your points, but don't people interract with LLMs which are programmed to appear to know and argue? If you listen to the above I suspect you will at least be amused. Legalman is a riot.

I managed self delusion on a massive scale more than 2 decades ago without any help from AI or drugs and it sounds like he did too. Funnily enough Pi figured large in my episode too.

The chatbot was lucky to survive its encounter with him. The human mind is a very powerful thing.

the best example of what ai really is:

grok on monday - it's a genocide

grok on tuesday - elon said to say it's not a genocide

also a must-see if you're rfk jr and promoting ai for 'expedited vaccine approval':

this may help... q is currently leading hundreds of millions into their own rpg, modern christianity most likely was time-edited in as a plot device

the arrival + inception + interstellar

^ major concepts to understand

the rpg btw includes you, as the hero of your own story 😘

I have no idea what any of that means but I appreciate the last line, which reminds me of a great bukowski quote: "Hey, baby, when I write, I'm the hero of my own shit"

long time reader here, and love your work

however if you think we are all "qanon retards" you are revealing your own low-iq :D

the bs you see online is a cover, real autists have gone far deeper and there is a near-zero chance that it is "all a psy-op"... in fact there is a greater likelihood that christianity as a whole was a psy-op than there is for q to be, it's simple really when you dig, and use only logic

cheers

This is fascinating as there have been movies recently made about the collapse of the encrypted signatures used in all online payment processing, rendering money as we've come to use it in these modern times moot. On the other side I have sometimes pondered pi and have come to conclude that God probably made the Earth (and other planets) spherical due to its never ending fractal properties. So it's easy to see how even a mentally well person might get drawn in, especially if he was say of an astrological sign prone to flattery such as Leo.

As ChatGPT and other large language models are quite hit and miss with hallucinations I'd have to wonder if there is not secrets of the universe uncovered buried in those 300 hours somewhere. But how would you find the signal from the noise?

Nearly everyone I know has, alarmingly, swallowed this AI crap hook, line and sinker, and by that I mean they believe these things are near-infallible sources of expertise in all things, as well as being creative geniuses. It's pathetic and fearsome. These things are nothing more than a souped up version of a predictive text tool, fed the gigantic sewer of slop that is the Internet. Whatever you get from one is nothing more than a remix of a sea of mediocrity.

I was gonna say this guy needed to touch grass. But only, like poa pratensis, not the cannabis kind of "grass."

Glad he eventually managed a come-down from the mania.

oh man....I've smoked some crazy sheet in my day but nothing like this, man. Thanks for the post, sir!
