That’s how science fiction works. Idiocracy was about the 90s, not the far future. We’re waaaaaay past that.

Typically you can add some of your own alignment that is inserted before your prompt. On ChatGPT, they call it “memories”. I have found most agents are able to adopt a non-conversational mode when instructed, but sometimes you end up fighting with the platform alignment.

It’s not just creepy, I think it’s harmful, manipulative, and calculated. As social animals, we are extremely vulnerable to forming unconscious assumptions that we consciously know are bananas, particularity when our social machinery is engaged. For example, it’s well known that even the developers of video games fall the illusion of moral agency and personhood of the characters in their own games. We are primed to be fooled and accept software agents as people, and I believe AI companies are actively and intentionally trying to exploit this psychological weakness.

Never use I/you with a software agent and never let one use those pronouns.

I mean children are ideally raised by their grandparents but no, generations are successive, they don’t “skip a generation”. Greatest generation fought WW2, came home, and caused the Baby Boom. They raised Boomers who raised GenX who raised Millenials who raised GenZ who are presently raising Alpha. Of course there are millenials who raise millenials and genx who raised genz but that’s not the usual case.

Nice one, Millennials.

Of course not, why do you say that?

So you’re going to insult me and my writing to my face for apparently no reason except that you get off on it, and then when I call you out on it, you’re going to act like I’m the child. You know what? Fuck off, we’re done. I’m not an AI or your mom that you can just take your shit out on and then carry on like nothing happened. Get fucked.

no ur slop

you say “corporate violation of personal rights” i say “basic journalism” agree to disagree

It’s All Countries Matter Day, iirc?

What’s permissible in every relationship is different and I understand why that could be a real violation of trust. Of course, in general and barring some narrow exceptions, none of us have the authority to tell others what they may do with images of us.

You SAY that, but I don’t see anyone trading manuscripts on FTP sites like it’s 1995.

That’s the glib interpretation but it’s more likely NetFlix knew we sucked all along and was acting accordingly than that they trained us only to watch one season.

The only games you truly own from a pragmatic point of view don’t even come on physical media, they come with public licenses. Commercial products that you come to love will always be used against you. Just stop engaging.

Okay? So? Brand names exist to have a reputation. A random string of characters isn’t trying to develop and trade on a positive reputation and so is automatically suspect.

If security is the one and only priority, you wouldn’t be running a goddamn desktop environment and all that other baggage. You absolutely would be auditing your entire stack. Because security is the one and only priority. I didn’t pose the hypothetical, but that’s the necessary consequence.

If your system is secure, updating it can only make it insecure. If that is your one and only priority, you have to review updates before applying them, and since you have thoroughly investigated your entire stack up to this update and that version also has your real-world testing behind it, you’re probably not going to apply most updates until some other priority comes along or you discover a previously unknown vulnerability.

Why I don’t update software:

• 1% apathy
• 1% i want it to keep working
• 98% i don’t want to have to fucking reinstall the same fucking nvidia drivers again FOR SOME REASON

dude they already own the locked down hardware you need to play the games. you already have to pay monthly fees or get locked out of most of your games. they can already lock you out of all your games whether or not you have physical media. if you’re doing business with sony, YOU’RE ALREADY FUCKED. just lie back and enjoy it, or fucking leave.
