Longtime Fluffer

@heynavtoor @Nicole_Lee_Sch It's weird. When you ask a bot about something you are knowledgeable about the misrepresentations & omissions are obvious. For those who are now relying on them for researching topics but don't have enough knowledge to call foul? They are about to be falling off cliffs of misinfo

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional. And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it. The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening. This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free. A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action. So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying. Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough. Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation. Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally. The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model. What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

@Salmonl8ku @spooked75 Skepticism is always welcome. What is it in this instance you are skeptical about?

@Londonforplay @spooked75 I’m skeptical, there’s a difference

Since NATO was founded in 1949, the US has been involved in 20+ military conflicts — more than all other NATO members combined. Korea. Vietnam. Grenada. Panama. Gulf War. Somalia. Iraq. Afghanistan. Libya. Syria. Now Iran. Most of these weren't NATO operations. They were American choices. And now the US — currently at war alongside Israel against Iran — is demanding Europe contribute more to "collective defense." Defense of what? American foreign policy decisions Europe never agreed to? NATO is a mutual defense pact, not a blank check for endless American wars in the Middle East.

@Salmonl8ku @spooked75 It is my point of view, contesting your point of view. Pretty standard social media interaction

@Londonforplay @spooked75 Your point of view. Don’t shoot the messenger.

@Salmonl8ku @spooked75 Personally, I'd rather a person be aware of something and be acting cynically, as distasteful as that might be, than not be aware and be proudly announcing something in error. I thought I'd made that preferance clear in my reply? That isn't projection.

@Londonforplay @spooked75 Don’t project

@ChimeraX2021 @No_Name_12hgdf @anon_opin Except the BBC is paid for continuously by the license fee payers. Only the foreign distribution can be sold/monetised (as far as I am aware). There is a good argument that the BBC is not like other media businesses in this regard. *doesn't mean the artists should have no say

@No_Name_12hgdf @anon_opin You realise those platforms have to PAY to make content available, right? And this whole you "paid" for it for absurd nonsense. No you have not paid to have free access in perpetuity. 🙄

The BBC should make all of the Peel Sessions available to stream on the Sounds app. They're recordings of incredible cultural significance and shouldn't be left to languish in a vault.

@Nocastus @anon_opin That's fair. This seems like an obstacle that has its roots in valid concerns. The artists should be compensated for their work. If that is out of the bbcs budget, sad as it is, then it should be released to the artists to distribute as they see fit.

@anon_opin I don't think they own the rights over the material. There would have to be payments to the bands, composers, record companies etc. that I don't suppose the BBC could afford. Sadly, because these are certainly significant artefacts.

@RustyBComedian @NoContextBrits We're top at something? Winning!

@NoContextBrits Top cunts.

Say something nice about the UK.

@Salmonl8ku @spooked75 Your position pretends it is American kindness, or charity, or greater good that drives it all. I hope for your sake you are merely being a cynical opportunist with your choice of description. Better that than proudly ignorant.

@Salmonl8ku @spooked75 Oh I agree, but I'm pretty sure we mean it in different ways. 'Nominally acting on behalf of global order' is a rich way to describe a system that is set up with America as the prime beneficiary. One that has benefited many, but America most of all.

@dobssi Ooof. I reckon the saltiest part of this would be Greenwood turning them down because he wants top tier football.

Quite the gamble from Spurs...... Maybe he'll take Mason Greenwood there for a promotion push next season?

@Salmonl8ku @spooked75 You could broadly say the same about Europe and America when the British empire was at its pomp making decisions for its own benefit that (just as) crudely put, benefitted the western norms(eventually). But to actually say it about either would be the same lie.

@spooked75 It’s not really mutual when, as you point out, but also ignore, that the US is nominally acting on the behalf of a global world order and the rest gets spared the negative consequences but enjoys the dividends.

@everyart_ @lussoxt @Jam2go I'm pretty sure every platform has that language to create exceptions for when they create thumbnails, shortclips, demos, etc. I believe that terminology has allowed the distributors to backdoor AI use, but that language in itself doesn't mean that all platforms are doing that.

@lussoxt @Jam2go Right in their terms of service

Spotify email: We’re reducing payout from $0.0031 to $0.0029 to fund Joe Rogans new podcast, also the AI DJ hates you because you forgot to sign up for payola+ Bandcamp email: BadaBoom! $7.77 from your loyal listener, with the following message “:3”

@Thenextantman @UTDgeezer @terryflewers 115 x £10 million seems current. Point deductions a bonus (they should get demoted 3 divisions but I'm not holding my breath).

@UTDgeezer @terryflewers Depends on if city get punished for their 115 charges.

Tonali heavily linked to Man Utd by top transfer journalists....... Newcastle media state for sale, but must be the right price (code for overpriced) Man Utd tell new respected sources thayt large financial demands for Tonali could "prohibit" the deal......and now Anderson is the top target..... All could be true, but I sense Tonali wants Man Utd, Newcastle rightfully want more than he is worth, and Man Utd will have to use all means to get him at a fair price....... Don't panic reds....this is normal

@lkowalewski11 @MAGA_Hoosier @krassenstein Ignoring that Trump said he asked Poland for the batteries, his embarrassment is secondary, the lady I was replying to said that nato is a paper tiger. If nato armies had no threat there wouldn't be a need for them in the first place. The lady believes the propaganda. It's odd.

@Londonforplay @MAGA_Hoosier @krassenstein Yes, the US communication policy on this issue is embarrassing. And America is now reaping the fruits of POTUS's misguided policy. And that's why Iran is winning propaganda-wise for now.

BREAKING: Poland has refused the US request for a missile battery. And Italy has denied US military aircraft bound for the Middle East permission to land at a base in Sicily. And MAGA thinks that the world “respects us again”.

@krassenstein He wants the British empire back?

BREAKING: - Trump starts an idiotic war. - Trump begins to lose the idiotic war he started. - Trump wants our allies to die in helping us in the idiotic war he started. - Trump attacks allies, like a toddler for not helping us in the idiotic war he started, and has a tantrum.

@lkowalewski11 @MAGA_Hoosier @krassenstein I am sure the specifics of the many requests made by America to other countries since this started will have some reporting errors. I'm not sure the point I was making changes one bit because of that.

@Londonforplay @MAGA_Hoosier @krassenstein There was no such request. At the moment, Poland only has two batteries, and they are not fully operational.

@MAGA_Hoosier @krassenstein How so? If America is asking for these things it is because there is a value to them that America isn't able to provide by themselves. I'm not sure you've really thought about this.

@krassenstein They’ll regret it. NATO is a paper tiger after all.

@eurofootcom I think an honest conversation about why agents became needed is had before clubs get to complain about their existence. I don't like middle men finding ways to profit where it isn't needed, but I also don't like clubs abusing their position of power to limit what players recieve

🇩🇪🗣️ Former Bayern executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: "Do we have to stop agent fees? I think we should all sit at one table: both the agents themselves and the federations, the leagues and the clubs. We have completely lost it. Last summer, $1,347million dollars in bonuses for representatives were paid." "Five years ago it was €500m, which was already a lot. If Bayern buys a player from Freiburg, Freiburg then buys another from Mainz and Mainz then another, the money continues to circulate within football. What the agents pocket doesn't and that is doing a lot of damage to our sport. At Bayern we are going to address this issue more consistently." (@diarioas)

@ClintMasters_ @TouchlineX You're Australian, yes? Aussies have definitely benefited from footballers learning to play abroad but playing in the green and gold. Surely the lift that gave aussie football is valuable, better than lower lvl players doing it and the team getting worse results?

@ClintMasters_ @TouchlineX I think it only helps youth development. If the best are playing the best, in that environment, then it sharpens everyone who takes part. Obvs some nations invest more, but it raises the standard for everyone as a result if more talent ends up on the national stage

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Rafael van der Vaart reacts to the likely possibility of Netherlands facing Morocco in the World Cup Round of 32. 🗣️ Van der Vaart: "Not to be rude, but every Moroccan that's not good enough to play for The Netherlands is now playing for Morocco while we have players from Liverpool, Barcelona, etc. So let's not worry about Morocco, really."
