You are a conspiracy theorist and a liar! /s

The problem is inside people. I met lots of people who contributed to psychotic inducing behavior. Most of them were not in a cult. They were regular folk, who enjoy a beer, movies, music, and occasionally triggering others with mental tickles.

Very simple answer.

Is OpenAI also doing it? Well, it was trained on people.

People need to get better. Kinder. Less combative, less jokey, less provocative.

We're not gonna get there. Ever. This problem precedes AI by decades.

The article is an old recipe for dealing with this kind of realization.




> Less combative, less jokey, less provocative.

This sounds like a miserable future to me. Less "jokey"? Is your ideal human is a Vulcan from Star Trek or something?

I want humans to be kind, but I don't want us to have less fun. I don't want us to build a society of blandness.

Less combative, less provocative?

No thanks. It sounds like a society of lobotomized drones. I hope we do not ever let anything extinguish our fire.


Humanity is a fine thread between "lobotomized drones" (divided on two sides, sounds familiar?) and "aggressive clowns" (no respect, get provoked by anything, can't see an inch over their faces). Of course, it's more than a single spectrum, there's more to it than social behavior.

It could have been better than this, but there is no option now.

I can play either of those extremes and thrive. Can you?
