orangeNgreen, in [Opinion Piece] Hello from the other side: the harmful effects of AI ‘deadbots’

I think I saw this episode of Black Mirror

Rayspekt, in [News] Psychologist issues stark warning as addiction to AI girlfriends spikes

Maybe we should do something about the modern (male) loneliness problem instead of piling onto AI. It's just the symptom, not the problem.

elbarto777, (edited )

And what’s this male loneliness problem you’re talking about?

What would be a reasonable solution?

Edit: Downvoted for asking a question? How many lonely people are here? I mean, I know I am one, but guys… just answer.

MareOfNights,

Good role models. Currently we have Andrew Tate or the Man-Children in Hollywood movies. Both not ideal, especially the first one.

elbarto777,

Understood.

But where is this male loneliness problem happening?

I mean, sometimes I feel lonely, but it’s not like it’s chronic, or that all my male friends are all lonely like in an epidemic.

HauntedCupcake,

There is a real issue with loneliness theguardian.com/…/who-declares-loneliness-a-globa…

Although I do agree the “male” part is misleading, loneliness affects women more, although the stats are close enough that it can be considered a general issue of loneliness.

I guess the AI girlfriends is a male symptom, but I’ve also seen AI boyfriends floating around. So it really seems like a gender neutral issue

Wanderer,

We need male spaces

We need everyone spaces to be less judgy and full of canceling.

Wanderer,

We need everyone spaces and we also need seperate spaces.

How long until these are integrated into sex dolls and we have a real life Ex Machina?

I think red pillers have been waiting for this to happen. For real women to be unnecessary.

elbarto777,

I’m not a red piller, and I can’t wait for this to happen.

Girlfriend for the human connection, sex bot for the things girlfriend doesn’t want to do.

Come on, Mary Anne, why don’t you try on the fucking Birdman costume just once?!!!

Interesting angle. An inflatable one might be a little cheaper.

elbarto777,

Not the same, and not the point.

I put on a Catwoman costume on an inflatable doll and ask it to lick my nostrils, I’ll get nothing. Maybe an “eh” experience.

Enter the sex robot with human-like behavior. In the end, a sex robot is a thing. You kick a football, the football won’t complain, it won’t feel pain. A sex robot can endure virtually any sordid fantasy you may have, and it will be fun!

Then you go cuddle with your human girlfriend and listen to all her stories in a happy mood.

I did not say it was either the same or the point, elbarto777.

That was a joke, but I see your too laserbeam focused on your own genitals to see anything else.

elbarto777,

Wait, a sub-thread about sex robots, and I can’t focus on my genitals? GTFO!

Rolder,

It would probably be for the best, if red pillers could fulfill their needs this way instead of reaching a breaking point and resorting to violence.

This is probably because of the autoregressive nature of LLMs, and is why “step by step” and “chain of thought” prompting work so well. GPT4 can only “see” up to the next token, and doesn’t know how its own entire answer upfront.

If my guess is correct, GPT4 knew the probabilities of “Yes” or “No” were highest amongst possible tokens as it started generating the answer, but, it didn’t really know the right answer until it got to the arithmetic calculation tokens (the 0.9 * 500 part). In this case it probably had a lot of training data to confirm the right value for 0.9 * 500.

I’m actually impressed it managed to correct course instead of confabulating!

Daily reminder that the Daily Mail is a trashy tabloid out of the UK.

True, that’s why I hesitated to share the link. But I think the content is quite important, which is why I had it summarized.

I’d pay depending on how good it is. Not going to pay for Gemini levels of performance though.

My dumb toaster got an update this morning and now runs an AI.

Quick question: Can I use ChatGPT 4o with that voice conversation in the browser? Or do I need to install their stupid App on a phone?

So dead at launch?

rufus, (edited ) in [Opinion Piece] Her Is Now Real As AI Creators Continue To Not Understand Sci-Fi Movies

Agree. And most of the post isn’t really an opinion piece but an analysis of the movie.

I’m not sure if their relationship is “superficial”, though. By interacting with “Her”, Theodore realizes lots of things about love, himself and his past and future relationships. He grows from some depressed state to embracing happiness. That’s not superficial at all! However it is/becomes a one-sided relationship. I’m not sure what she gets out of it at first, she obviously says she learns and grows at his side. So if she’s telling the truth, it’s also not superficial to her at that point. But later on she transcends and has no use for Theodore any longer. And I don’t remember if it’s clear whether she loves him or uses him as a tool. >!But that’d be the story of “Ex Machina” which is also a great movie.!<

They are fundamentally incompatible. And that shows. I think that’s part of it. But the love and where it leads them isn’t superficial.

Dkarma,

Article acts like real relationships can’t be as damaging or more than fake ones

candyman337, in [News] Humane is looking for a buyer after the AI Pin’s underwhelming debut

Color nobody surprised lmao. This was so clearly a cash grab from the beginning. They’re probably gonna get away with it too.

That fucking summary was tits. Amazing!

Sabine Hossenfelder: New Rumours that AI Has Become Sentient

I think it’s a super interesting question. But experts agree that the current form of AI chatbots can’t have sentience or a conciousness. It can’t learn from interactions with the world. And it doesn’t have a state of mind. And that’s the end of the debate. Mind that self-awareness and consciousness aren’t the same thing. And as far as I know the terms like “sentience” aren’t really well defined.

I agree with Geoff Hinton’s view that AI has shown exceptional creativity/performance in several narrow domains. But I very much dislike in the video/talk that he outlines a useful concept of subjectivity, and they immediately drop it and talk about sth else which isn’t even half as interesting.

What I completely disagree on is the stance on open-source. They’re missing that AI is a really powerful tool and will be a ubiquitous part of our future world. Which is where their analogy to the atomic bomb fails. And since training AI costs multi millions, it’s inevitably going to lead to a corporate dystopia where big corporations will have all the power and the people/humans are playthings. We’ve seen enough sci-fi movies about that. And is gatekeeping tech with money really a good thing? I mean there are bad companies out there. And it doesn’t necessarily need malice. One mistake by some employee is enough and we end up with Skynet from the Terminator anyways. I share however the perspective that open-sourcing AI is dangerous and will have consequences. But there’s no way around it if we want progress to lead into a nice future.

And I think we don’t have to talk about Blake Lemoine anymore. That episode is two years old. And the claims and arguments have been refuted and disproven over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly an interesting question. But it’s more a lesson in human psychology. Concerning AI he’s been wrong and we know that for nearly two years already.

dunidane, in [News] Scarlett Johansson told OpenAI not to use her voice — and she’s not happy they might have anyway

Wait that would mean a tech company is being dishonest and skrewing people over. That never happens… Right?

BruceTwarzen,

Idk, i don't even think they sound similar. I get the problem with it, but someone could hire a voice actor to sound like her and do the same thing and that's legal?

pavnilschanda,
@pavnilschanda@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s the intent that matters, based on Scarlett’s recall of events. Had Sam not asked her in the first place, there would’ve be more room for OpenAI to argue in their favor.

SkyezOpen,

We just have to figure out whether it’s cheaper to hire a soundalike or pay someone to clip bits from movies for training data and that’s probably the answer.
