Wow, that’s pretty damming. Three of them? This can’t be a random absurd error like it plausibly could have been for the first one reported.

There must be a really big flaw in their system if three VPN devs just “missed an email”. Is Microsoft sending the emails from a bullshit sus address?

The chain of events is likely not starting with social media. But I’m sure what you are saying is true for a certain small percentage of people.

Especially since AI has a history of being people pleasing.

That’s… that’s a lot of hard drives. Or a lot of rented server space.

That’s many many weeks of downloading.

I wasn’t wrong in this reply. I was asked about believing Anthropic.

Are you saying they are lying? Why should I disbelieve Anthropic?

Whoops, I conflated it with other recent talk about their models not following restrictions set in prompts and deciding for itself that it needed to skirt instructions to achieve its task.

You are correct.

Wow, the only thing Siri is generally competent at.

Well, for now. I’m sure any of those 12 partner companies they called out as new security partners will end up leaking that this is all lies eventually. If it’s just made up bullshit.

Anthropic announced new partnerships to inform the companies of security issues and to work with them to fix said issues. If it’s bullshit, it’s gonna be wasting their time. And that’ll surface eventually.

The meme still applies to people asking the AI to tell them what they wanna hear, and delusional people spiraling with sycophantic AI.

But I believe Anthropic when they say their models are not working as intended and posing security risks.

Claude Mythos Preview’s large increase in capabilities has led us to decide not to make it generally available," Anthropic wrote in the preview’s system card. “Instead, we are using it as part of a defensive cybersecurity program with a limited set of partners.”

That’s hilarious but the post is about the ai not doing what it’s told. You know?

Yeah, the social support you would need in your life for getting help with those things made getting that help much more complex. Asking a close friend or companion for help in those ways meant a relationship was there. It added value to the relationships that provided this cognitive labor.

I really fear AI will lead to more social isolation, and negative externalities as a result. We already see this happening in the pre-AI always connected world. This will just accelerate it.

People are calling this “cognitive surrender”.

Software brain.

Wow. I wonder how they would even keep such a thing under wraps.

No hugging. No learning.

Don’t they like meritocracy?

Edit: oh wait, I spelt that wrong. It should have been “hypocrisy”.

My pet sociological theory is that irony has poisoned society in such a pervasive way that it opened the doors to our current cultural and political climate.

I think it started in the early 90s. But it’s a progressive thing, so it has seeds earlier than that, for sure. But it really took off in the 90s.

When people grow up in a society filled with irony and people holding things at a distance with irony, it really fucks up social development.

And now here we are. Post satire and post irony.

It’s a complex topic that the person you replied to only introduced briefly.

We have a loneliness epidemic and it’s expensive to live in isolation. There is a middle ground between the two that would fit both your pov and the one the person you are replying to is scratching the surface of.

It’s undeniable that some people just get progressively unhealthy when they live alone. But that’s not true for everyone, for sure. But we did evolve to live in tribes and support each other.

No one is attacking the idea of living alone. They are just saying that it’s worth further examination.

This person is likely not participating a conspiracy to force you into communal housing or to have babies.

That’s an N dash. They are named that way because of how wide they are.

So your assessment is wrong. Since everyone knows M dash is the one only AI uses, and AI didn’t learn to do that from humans who do. Nope.

What attitude do I have? I’m into VR, I love Valve. I’m excited for the Steam Frame. I’ve met people who work there.

It was just a bad word choice. And it was unreasonable for me to make a comment on the analogy that was used to respond to my poor word choice.

I’m just clarifying.
