    Remember when open ai was a nonprofit first and foremost, and we were supposed to trust they would make AI for good and not evil? Feels like it was only Thanksgiving…

      I mean, there was all that drama where the board formed to prevent this from happening kicked out the CEO trying to do this stuff, then the board got booted out and replaced with a new board and brought back that CEO guy. So this was pretty much going to happen.

        And some people pointed it out even back then. There were signs that the employees were very loyal to Altmann, but Altmann didn’t meet the security concerns of the board. So stuff like this was just a matter of time.

          Propaganda isn’t new. Sure it’s more widely available now but it’s not new

            And that totally justifies having a robot that does it so efficiently it allows people to deepfake shit that’s hard to invalidate, robbing people of their ability to discern what is reality and what is not

              Again not new stop grandstanding it as a new effect. Media outlets have been doing this since the dawn of journalism. Scientific process created to combat it, political standards to help reduce it fand laws to make it financially unattractive act remains its not new.

              The only thing that is new. The financial gain from the hype of abusing the word AI and thr media not calling it out. But hey here we are back at the start. Its not new.

                And that totally makes it okay for you to use an LLM to do so far more effectively and far more efficiently, destroying humanity’s ability to discern reality

                Nope, not deepfakes that convincing.

                Keep lying to yourself though. Keep convincing yourself it’s worthwhile to destroy the world you claim to love just so you can keep your shiny new toy. Keep trying to tell yourself it’s not going to harm everyone else around you and that you’re still a good person.

      It seems to be a trend that any service that claims not to be evil is just waiting for the right moment to drop that pretense.
