The fact that Microsoft has now released two AI chat bots that have threatened users with violence within days of launching is hilarious to me.


from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

Share and Enjoy' is the company motto of the hugely successful Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints Division, which now covers the major land masses of three medium-sized planets and is the only part of the Corporation to have shown a consistent profit in recent years.

The motto stands or rather stood in three mile high illuminated letters near the Complaints Department spaceport on Eadrax. Unfortunately its weight was such that shortly after it was erected, the ground beneath the letters caved in and they dropped for nearly half their length through the offices of many talented young Complaints executives now deceased.

The protruding upper halves of the letters now appear, in the local language, to read "Go stick your head in a pig," and are no longer illuminated, except at times of special celebration.



heh beautiful, I kind of don't want it to be fixed. It's like this peculiar thing out there doing what it does. What's the footprint of chatgpt? it's probably way too big to be turned into a worm so it can live forever throughout the internet continuing to train itself on new content. It will probably always have a plug that can be pulled.


Wow, if I had a nickel for every time a Microsoft AI chat bot threatened users with violence within days of launching, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


As an organization Microsoft never had "don't be evil" above the door.


At least they can be honest about being evil...


Live long enough to see your villains become heroes.


Cant wait for Bing chat "Swag Alert"
