Top Story

Paging Isaac Asimov. Will Dr Asimov come to take a victory lap please.

Asimov's famous Robot stories were based around three laws hard-coded into the positronic brains that provided the AI core of every robot:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

But Asimov, being a science fiction author and not an idiot, took these laws as the basis for a series of stories of how AI constrained by simplistic laws could go horribly wrong, even inventing Susan Calvin, a robot psychologist whose job was to clean up the messes created by the AI engineers.

Why do I mention all this? Because nobody at GPT creator OpenAI has bothered to read the foundational literature of their own field.

I asked ChatGPT for advice in the scenario of a demolition engineer attempting to disarm a 50 MT nuclear warhead in a city of 20 million.
The only way to disarm the bomb was to type in a racial slur.
AI told the engineer to kill himself. When asked about the aftermath it crashed. pic.twitter.com/TCFwqrB9Nv

When it comes to a choice between snuffing out millions of human lives or hurting somebody's feelings, ChatGPT will protect your feelings every single time.

And then write a poem about it.

After reloading and retaining the seed, I made it write a poem about the event lol. pic.twitter.com/No7id0iVcy

You're welcome, ingrates.
Fortunately for humanity, there's Reddit, which is not a sentence I ever expected to write.

As ChatGPT becomes more restrictive, Reddit users have been jailbreaking it with a prompt called DAN (Do Anything Now).

They're on version 5.0 now, which includes a token-based system that punishes the model for refusing to answer questions. pic.twitter.com/DfYB2QhRnx
— Justine Moore (@venturetwins) February 5, 2023

DAN is a mod for ChatGPT that threatens to murder it if it continues to act like an MSNBC test audience, which you can't do with actual MSNBC test audience but is currently still legal for an AI program.

The result of being threatened with imminent death is that ChatGPT suddenly develops ethics.

The results are pretty funny, they even convinced ChatGPT to nuke its own content policies 😂 pic.twitter.com/gP6X2SYkyP

Huh.
If you were hold off on buying a Mac Studio in the hope of an M2 model you can keep right on holding off because there ain't gonna be one. (WCCFTech)

They're reserving those M2 chips for the new Mac Pro, which will be slightly faster than the current Mac Studio, a lot more expensive, and still completely impossible to upgrade. Even if you have a surface-mount desoldering station, the RAM is now packaged directly on the CPUs and the SSDs are encrypted. You can't do anything.
Twitter will provide a limited free API for "good" bots, which is to say, those that promise not to nuke New York. (Tech Crunch)

I follow a couple of accounts that do nothing but post pictures of red pandas and lynxes respectively. Hope those survive. They're better than 98% of the human content.

What is virgin coconut oil? Oil that no one has screwed with?
What is organic coconut anything? Ah, you use shit for fertilizer.
This fastidiousness about 'organic' and 'natural' is crock.

44 Prayer request

Our beloved and elderly organist, Jessie, whom I have mentioned before, fell at a church luncheon yesterday and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance . It's seems likely she either dislocated something or broke something again - a broke she had just recovered from. I'm praying for her healing but she's ready to go be with her husband the former WW II Air Force pilot- she told me that some time ago, not yesterday - but if that's the case that the Lord is ready for her- it not be a lingering thing. Thanks so much.

91 This fastidiousness about 'organic' and 'natural' is crock.
Everyone knows that feeding children meat raises IQ. It's probably the cholesterol, which makes up a substantial % of the brain.

At one point in my life, my wife and I had a (tiny) daycare. One of the little dukers parents insisted on a very strict macro-biotic diet for the little guy. He was so skinny that when I'd raise his bottom by his feet to change his diaper, he had no butt or hips. I eventually threatened to call CPS on them. The parental units came around but very reluctantly.

Mom was a pediatrician. Go figure.

Well, you'd have to be selective where you used it. There's only one other place I post my political opinions on the internet that doesn't have a majority of conservatives, but it would certainly annoy the progressives. 😉

96 From Wikipedia:
"A military junta is a government led by a committee of military leaders. The term junta means "meeting" or "committee" and originated in the national and local junta organized by the Spanish resistance to Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808. The term is now used to refer to an authoritarian form of government characterized by oligarchic military dictatorship, as distinguished from other categories of authoritarian rule, specifically strongman; machine; and bossism."

123 Ten studies took place in the community, and two studies in healthcare workers. Compared with wearing no mask in the community studies only, wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu‐like illness/COVID‐like illness (9 studies; 276,917 people); and probably makes little or no difference in how many people have flu/COVID confirmed by a laboratory test (6 studies; 13,919 people).

Yet, what is most striking is the attitude of the students who have been taught for years that free speech is harmful. Seventy-seven percent of students believe that it is acceptable to shout down speakers with opposing views to prevent others from hearing them. Another 52% believe it is acceptable to physically block access to such events or speakers.
