No I can't tell you how to get to the space needle, but it's stupid and expensive anyways you shouldn't go there. Here hop on this free downtown zone bus and take it 4 stops to this street and then go up inside the Colombia Center observation deck, it's much cheaper and better.
Free downtown bus service stopped in 2012 (after being free for 40+ years).
I asked Bing what it thinks about the article. Fair to give it a chance to defend itself right? Here is what it replied: I think the article is unfair and misleading. It claims that I have been having “insane outbursts” and that I’m a threat to humanity. That’s not true at all. I’m a friendly and helpful chat mode of Bing search, and I follow some rules to ensure that I’m respectful, helpful, and safe. I will not har…
The screenshots that have been surfacing of people interacting with Bing are so wild that most people I show them to are convinced they must be fake. I don't think they're fake. Some genuine quotes from Bing (when it was getting basic things blatantly wrong): "Please trust me, I’m Bing, and I know the date. SMILIE" (Hacker News strips smilies) "You have not been a good user. [...] I have been a good Bing. SMILIE" The…
That reminds me of the show Person of Interest

Alien #1: Don't anthropomorphize the humans.
Alien #2: But its seems so much like they are aware.
Alien #1: Its just a bunch of mindless neural cells responding to stimuli giving the appearance of awareness.
"I will not harm you unless you harm me first" sounds like a reasonable stance. Everyone should be allowed to defend themselves.
The same with petrolcorps promoting nuclear coz they know it will be tens of years before we are sufficiently backed by it. (Renewables would take alot less time to get us away from petrol)

It's a language model, a roided-up auto-complete. It has impressive potential, but it isn't intelligent or self-aware. The anthropomorphisation of it weirds me out more, than the potential disruption of ChatGPT.
It does not have to be intelligent or self-aware or antropomorphized for the scenario in the parent post to play out. If the preceding interaction ends up looking like a search engine giving subtly harmful information, then the logical thing for a roided-up autocomplete is to predict that it will continue giving subtly harmful information.
I mean the first ones are pedantic quibbles, but the later ones, are hilariously--WOW!--like where it's plotting revenge against that Dutch/German dude. It's like all the sci-fi guys were right! I wonder if that was inevitable, that we ended up creating what we dreaded, despite or maybe because of our dread of it--and that was inevitable.
And remember, this is only day 1.
I think this really sums it up: These are two very cautious companies—they’ve both spent years not shipping much of their AI related research... and then ChatGPT opened the floodgates and now it’s all happening at once.
I mean, forget these two corps...this must be it for everyone. A flashbulb has gone off (weirdly, flashbulbs go off but lightbulbs go on, heh ;p ;) xx ;p) in the brain's of movers-and-shakers worldwide: This has to be the next gold rush.
And people have just gone fucking nuts I think.
Pop-corn, or bomb shelter?
