While I've certainly seen ChatGPT generate some false and even outright hallucinatory things, I've never seen it produce anything like these claims. I can see ways of getting it to produce such output, but it would requiring seeding the chat with a lot of pointed instructions to get the desired bizarre output; in other words my suspicion is a lot of these stories are basically reporting what amounts to manufactured chats meant to produce apparently bizarre results.

no points, but you refuted 90% of the "article".

Perhaps they assigned an LLM to write this story.

> what the fuck is wrong with you

They can make profits with paid upgrades and paid support and face no liability for the havoc that will ensue.

Perhaps you've heard of Bill Gates and his personality structure that was infused into Microsoft's essence?

They could even face a shareholder lawsuit for not screwing a few hundred million people. Corporations are legally required to be psychopathic in the modern USA.

I have my doubts about an AI's reliability over the course of 400 years. Even if the hardware holds up, by the time the ship gets there, the AI may moved on to different plans than the ones its creators had in mind :)

That was true back then; is it still true now, a number of years, and many expensive lawsuit-settlements later? (I suppose it's possible that Toyota has learned nothing from the experience, but that doesn't seem like the most likely outcome from a company that generally prides itself on quality and reliability)

Linus should have followed the example of Steve Ballmer, who showed us the proper way to rant

One could make a pretty good argument that those 32 states did vote against their own interests, so clearly there is a way.

I like how we have cool engineering and cool computer science posts today instead of just legal battles, doomer gloom, and political intrigue.

> They now embark on a new task...what's wrong with Google these days?

That's pretty much status quo. They do some stuff, get users, get bored with it, kill the project.

Destroying Communism by invoking statist solutions like ordering corporations what to invest in and who should be running them.

Hmmmm.....

With the defunding or underfunding of most of the departments actually involved in determining whether there is an emergency or not, what's the point? Under Trump, there won't be emergencies to alert. It's all smooth sailing from here on out.

Some day it might occur to you that the 40-year fight to overturn Roe and the ensuing laws restricting abortion are going to end up with women being prosecuted for having an abortion. But that probably won't happen until it affects you or someone close to you.

Arresting a woman who missed a period and 9 months later doesn't have a baby is certainly on the trend line.

Up until the Newt Gingrich's rise to power, the Libertarians were, fairly or unfairly, deemed Conservative's useful idiots.
