OpenAI Quietly Deletes Ban on Using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare”
Good job, Sam Altman. Saying one thing and doing the opposite. There are already enough conspiracy theories about Davos running the world, and the creepy eye-scanning orb guy isn’t helping.
Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.
What a perfect sentence to sum up 2023 with.
Mr Altman, who founded Open AI which built chat bot ChatGPT, says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot.
That last line kinda creeps me out.

Yeah that’s most most sci-fi dystopian article I’ve read in a while.
The line where one of the people waiting to get their eyes scanned is well eye opening " I don’t care what they do with the data, I just want the money", this is why they want us poor, so we need money so badly that we will impatiently hand over everything that makes us.
But we already happily hand over our DNA genome to private corporations, so what’s an eye scan gonna do…
We hand over our DNA to ancestry companies for some obscene vanity reason and then pay them for the privilege of keeping it
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That’s why they just removed the military limitations in their terms of service I guess…
I also want to sell my shit for every purpose but take zero responsibility for consequences.
Considering what we’ve decided to call AI can’t actually make decisions, that’s a no-brainer.
AI term means humans are no brainers
Shouldn’t, but there’s absolutely nothing stopping it, and lazy tech companies absolutely will. I mean we live in a world where Boeing built a plane that couldn’t fly straight so they tried to fix it with software. The tech will be abused so long as people are greedy.
So long as people are rewarded for being greedy. Greedy and awful people will always exist, but the issue is in allowing them to control how things are run.
More than just that, they’re shielded from repercussions. The execs involved with ignoring all the safety concerns should be in jail right now for manslaughter. They knew better and gambled with other people’s lives.
They fixed it with software and then charged extra for the software safety feature. It wasn’t until the planes started falling out of the sky that decided they would gracefully offer it for free.
Has anyone checked on the sister?
OpenAI went from interesting to horrifying so quickly, I just can’t look.

People still like Steve Jobs.
Ugh. There’s time yet.
OpenAI went from an interesting and insightful company to a horrible and a weird one in a very little time.
People only thought it was the former before they actually learned anything about them. They were always this way.
Remember when they were saying GPT-2 was too dangerous to release because people might use it to create fake news or articles about topics people commonly Google?
Hah, good times.
AI will be used to increase shareholder dividends. If your company just happens to involve healthcare, warfare, etc and AI makes decisions to maximize profit then youre just collateral damage with no human to blame. Sorry your husband died of cancer, the computer did it.
Yup, my job sent us to an AI/ML training program from a top cloud computing provider, and there were a few hospital execs there too.
They were absolutely giddy about being able to use it to deny unprofitable medical care. It was disgusting.
I’m tired of dopey white men making the world so much worse.
Agreed, but also one doomsday-prepping capitalist shouldn’t be making AI decisions. If only there was some kind of board that would provide safeguards that ensured AI was developed for the benefit of humanity rather than profit…
AI shouldn’t make any decisions
I am sure Zergerberg is also claiming that they are not making any life-or-death decisions. Lets see you in a couple years when the military gets involved with your shit. Oh wait they already did but I guess they will just use AI to improve soldiers’ canteen experience.
So just like shitty biased algorithms shouldn’t be making life changing decisions on folks’ employability, loan approvals, which areas get more/tougher policing, etc. I like stating obvious things, too. A robot pulling the trigger isn’t the only “life-or-death” choice that will be (is!) automated.
is exactly this AI will do in a near future (not dystopia)
Ummm…no fucking shit. Who was thinking that was a good idea?
probably about half of the executives this guy talks to
