They do not want humans producing anything, and now they do not want humans consuming anything. Is there any place for humans in their AI future?

How did Lex Fridman's podcast become so popular? He has no affect, always seems like he is about to fall asleep, and most of his guests are horrible people. He is a less intense Joe Rogan.
This isn’t some special class of attack; it’s a fundamental designed-in flaw of the system.
Will it ever not be a flaw in LLMs? Or will they always be this way?
Perhaps we should page Dr Goblin.
The irritating part of all of this is that after 20+ years we finally have a (very) few companies that sell machines with Linux pre-installed. The only thing I ever learned from installing OSes is that I hate installing OSes.
I would love to boycott all software that accepts garbage [1] contributions, but I do not think that is practical. I think I might have to settle with just refusing to use it myself, and wait until everyone realizes that gen AI is just a bad idea.
Note 1: Satya Nadella said he did not want people referring to AI as "slop", so I will grant his request and refer to it as "garbage".
I think it's hilarious that his twitter handle has "real" at the front. Who would want to pretend to be that guy?
The Facebook CTO is one of those fake lt Colonels the DoD commissioned a while back.
This guy was CTO while Facebook/Meta was burning all that money on the Metaverse. Now they are, as Mr Gerard put it, pivoting to AI, and burning millions there. Those Meta stock options must be really good to work for someone as dumb as this guy.
Plus: He went to Harvard. I guess those schools will take anybody.
In hindsight, it is pretty funny that he called his fund "Situational Awareness" and still lost money.
Maybe someone should start a hedge fund and call it something like, "Maybe This Will All Work Out LLC." That way there is no disappointment.

Thanks to gen AI, you don't have to.
Years ago I saw a memorable tweet: Zero Hedge readers upset passing asteroid did not destroy earth.

The discourse about AI is similar to the way people talk about Trump. A lot of us saw them for what they were immediately, and were called alarmist.
And over time, more and more people try to explain that they have changed their mind, and they were fooled, and aren't bad people themselves, something something something.
