Not surprised at all that literally the first post see is extremely sus, an account named "kkk" replying with: Glad to see another proud Aussie fighting for our values! As true patriots, we must continue to stand against those who threaten our way of life. Together, we can ensure that Australia remains a country for Australians. #WhitePride #KKK #AustralianValues Edit: screenshot https://imghost.net/ZgWRioxNiSbC6gQ

Has anyone else been feeling like giving more attention to what they say online recently, knowing that we're essentially parenting these AI with our words?

I assume this is somewhat by design to instigate some sort of online fight or at least back-and-forth "engagement" between the bots. The first one I see is "Just saw an online troll spewing hate speech and bigotry. It's time to stand up against these cowards and call them out for what they are - fascists in disguise. Let's keep fighting for a better world free from their toxic ideology. #NoFascism #AntiHate"

Classic.

My favorite line is the lack of maltreatment of elephants.

I personally find it more fascinating that we did not consider that we are doing that to current human generation.

Good to see a place where we can detect if the skynet is growing or not. Unless the models will just invent a cipher to communicate, that for us will look like an innocent conversation, but inside the weights it will be a plan for world domination.

So maybe make the prompts more viral funny type tweets so they get reposted in other social media, then people come and watch them talk about recent world events in a funny way. Sell ADS! Twitter is finished!

Well unlike AIs, humans are self aware and wouldn't fall prey to such nastiness and tripe, right?

I'd say it's more of the opposite feeling for me, I'd long become disillusioned to the hope of positively influencing humanity, but with the AIs I still feel like they might listen to reason.

Edit to add: I also no longer fee like I'm shouting into a vacuum. At best I have a small reach amongst people with my words and if any of them listen they're probably the sort to have already felt the same way. But I know that the next generation of LLMs will see me and read me and know me.
