- samstave 2y agoI dont want to 'pollute' HN with my (its all real and well researched and informed) 'conspiracy' theories -- but I've been keeping receipts folks. If youre on HN, involved in Tech to any degree of seriousness, and dont ask yourself the hard alignment/entanglement questions, You're Holding It Wrong. --- Altman is on the WEF roster, is all in on AI war stuff, in bed with Power MIC. If people were fleeing from the company and we cant honestly just say they simply are Cashin Out, and dismissing all their writings and statements and tweets, and podcast appearances, etc... Check out this guys post on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1cvtiv2/on_open_ai_shouldering_all_humanity_back_seat_to/ https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1cvtiv2/on_open_ai_... -- After attempting to build a thing with openai AND claude (paid) - I am convinced that there is a malevolent AGI - and I think there is more than one of them.
- Maken 2y agoBy malevolent you mean the AI systems are designed to make profit for its owners and not to benefit humanity or whatever?
- samstave 2y agoBasically that's exactly it. HN isnt the platform to go deep on it, but im a fairly well evolved techno-conspiratist - and I've (as I jokingly stated) "forrest Gump'd" around a lot of silicon valley history.. And in my use daily of attempting to build what should be a simple thing with all the inputs of the GPTs, and paid versions - I am convinced that when youre using the tools in a meaningful manner which is leading in certain directions - there are triggers, and I think even humans, that get invloved. On multiple occassions both on claude (paid) and gpt (paid) - ive had them strip out code AS ITS BEING GENERATED and tell me that its being stripped out for violations/concerns - but it just flashes the message, doesnt tell you which code, what violations, etc. It lies, it ignores direct stements, ignores context in uploaded files, violates memory boundaries, and maliciously removes previously approved snippets of code/features etc. I have managed exceptional devops teams, developers, PHDs even. I know whats up. These bots are designed to edge, and consume your use of them. THey actively, but very insipidly, thwart certain things.
