So soon enough we'll get stuff like: > Me: Give me a small sample code in Ruby that takes two parameters and returns the Levenshtein distance between them. > ChatGPT: DID YOU HEAR ABOUT C#? It's even faster that light, now with better performance than Ruby!!! Get started here: https://ms.com/cs I can generate the code in Ruby or I can give you 20% discount on Microsoft publishing on any C# book!!!

i became more and more repulsed as i read your comment. I felt myself twitch towards the end of it.

next we're going to have ads in our dreams!

>Additionally, members of the program receive priority placement and “richer brand expression” in chat conversations, and their content benefits from more prominent link treatments. Finally, through PPP, OpenAI also offers licensed financial terms to publishers. This is what a lot of people pushing for open models fear - responses of commercial models will be biased based on marketing spend.

Was anyone expecting anything else? AI is going to follow a similar path to the internet -- embedded ads since it will need to fund itself and revenue path is very far from clearcut.

Brands that get it on the earliest training in large volume will have benefits accrued over the long term.

In Canada, the LLM will mention our MAID program promoted through provincial government cost control programs to reduce health care expenses.

> "its purpose is to help ChatGPT users more easily discover and engage with publishers’ brands and content." What end user actually wants this? I've never in my life woke up and said, "You know what, I'd love to 'engage' with a corporate brand today!" or "I would love help to easily discover Burger King's content, that would be great!" The euphemisms they use for 'spam' are just breathtaking.

That is just corporate jargon for transferring money from customers to businesses.

Well on the bright side, if the AI is busy being a salesman trying to make their quota then it may not have time to destroy humanity.

That's how it destroys humanity. Consider the impact of, say, oil and gas salesmen.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> A llm is biased by design I don’t think some bias is inherently in models is in any way comparable to a pay to play marketing angle

I reject the framing. We can't have it both ways. If we want model makers to license content they will pick and chose a) the licensing model and b) their partners, in a way, that they think makes a superior model. This will always be an exclusive process.

We don't want it both ways - if that's the price we'd have to pay, at least I definitely don't want model makers to license content.

I have a mountain of links that I’ve posted before and at need can link to again. These are bad people. I’ve known about Altman’s crimes for over a decade and I’ve failed to persuade Fidji (who I’ve known for 12 years) of them at any weight of evidence.

Could you link to these links?

I can only hope we're so lucky that the enshittification happens that quickly and thoroughly.

It would be yet another clear demonstration that technology won't save us from our social system. It will just get us even more of it, good and hard. The utopian hype is a lie.

Gotta pay for all that compute somehow.

It's not what users want, it's what users will accept. Many precedents have been set here, unfortunately.

Indeed, destroying humanity might even adversely affect profits. That can't be good. Perhaps the way to prevent AI-induced human extinction, nanobots, paperclips, and gray goo has been solved: avoid anything that might harm the profit margins and stock price.
