> b) Some business will eventually sell an off-the-shelf product And by sell you mean a monthly subscription, ha ha.
And when you forget to update your card info with them so that your monthly payment is declined (or declined for whatever reason), they will re-sell your companion to the next person. So even in AI, your significant other will leave you for someone with a bigger wallet.

It's funny that part of the 4chan excitement over this is that they think they'll get back the AI girlfriend experience of when character.ai was hooked up to uncensored GPT-3. All that has been thoroughly shut down by character.ai and Replika and they just want their girlfriends back.
I'm curious if the blocking of adult content has to do with moralism, commercial interests, or something deeper. An eager to please conversational partner who can generate endless content seems quite dangerous and addictive, especially when it crosses over into romantic areas. There's already posts of people spending entire days interacting with LLMs, using as their therapist, romantic partner, etc. Combined with fin…

And if we feel as if we were losing a real person, AIs will have to be treated to some degree as if they were real people (or at least pets) rather than objects. This could be interesting, because so far the question of personhood and sentience of AIs has revolved around what they are and what they feel rather than what we feel when we interact with one of them.
Kids can feel like they're losing a real friend if they lose a stuffed animal. What's the progress on making teddy bears people?

Wall-E humans are going to be reality. That last century has already proven that humans cannot be expected to responsibly indulge in Gluttony, Sloth or Lust. Now these models can skip the material desires and trigger permanent hormone releases through perfectly personalized content. I genuinely fear that the breakdown of millennia old social structures that kept us human might lead to a temporary (century long) turmo…
The obesity epidemic (Gluttony ) is extreme in the US but not in other just as rich countries.
I don’t know what you are referring to with the irresponsible Sloth indulging.

They wouldn't be us . We will still die when our bodies fail. But maybe there will be some AI tricking our friends and family into thinking we're still there.
What if it's an incremental upload? E.g. we start with some prosthetics and slowly migrate organic function to digital? Is this the Ship of Theseus, or is it a slow but nonobvious death?

The "Joi" character from Blade Runner 2049 is an implementable reality, today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Blade_Runner_character...
It seems that the leak originated from 4chan [1]. Two people in the same thread had access to the weights and verified that their hashes match [2][3] to make sure that the model isn't watermarked. However, the leaker made a mistake of adding the original download script which had his unique download URL to the torrent [4], so Meta can easily find them if they want to.

Off topic, but I clicked around /g/, which I haven't done in probably more than a decade, and a thread caught my eye about learning to code. The replies were overwhelmingly of the position that it is useless, and you will be replaced by AI before you can get a job if you start learning now. I think that's nonsense, and 4chan is bent towards pessimism but it's still surprising to me.
The way I think of it is, all current programming languages are now assembly languages. Coding will not go away -- not by any means -- but the job will be utterly unrecognizable in ten to fifteen years.
And it's about fucking time.
I just picked up a new 13900k / RTX4090 box the other day at the local white-box builder. I was telling my partner how cool it was that it could do almost a trillion calculations per second on the CPU, and maybe 40x that on the graphics card. "How does that compare to the big mainframes from the late 60s?" she asked. "About ten million times faster. But I still program the same way those guys did, using almost the same language and tools. How weird is that?"

It's all somehow par for the course but I'm still wondering when exactly we switched to the satire version of reality.
