It's a pie, don't get your panties in a knot over it. But it is comcast so I feel your pain, I would probably try and take this to court also. No reason not to stick it to the worlds most hated company.

Did you put the lid on or did they put the lid on?

Or researchers commanding mythos with prompts? Let's set the story straight. It matters because we have a bunch of idiots telling us that these things operate on their own and do work for you, replace workers,etc. I haven't found that to be the case. In every case I had to prompt several times to get an agentic LLM do what I wanted it to do.

Because the poster was obviously overextending themselves on this title of this story.

Correlation vs causation, I'm willing to bet there is something else going on. Plus with regression and big data you can get the answer you want. And then the interesting studies where someone did tip the scales end up on the news and here.

What prompt generated this behavior? These are LLMs we are talking about. If you ask it to generate behavior (or ask an LLM to ask an LLM or multiple LLMs to generate behavior) then that is exactly what they will do barring any hallucinations. If you asked a subservient naive junior coder that had never been versed in any kind of morals, legal law or ethics, they would break into a company without hesitation.

AI companies know they don't have AGI. But they want investors to think they do have, because if they have spent money on datacenters for AGI and their valuations have priced in AGI. If investors ever wise up to the fact they don't have AGI and that LLMs aren't and never will be AGI, there will be a massive rollback in investment and that will make a lot of AI CEOs sad. So in the meantime distract the investors with hints of AGI, even though it's an LLM.

What it amounts to is a magic trick.

And contrary to what you've been told plastic can be recycled (do some research, educate yourself). The municipalities would have you believe otherwise because they don't want to be stuck with the bill of sorting and processing. It is costly and no one wants to do it, neither consumers or recyclers.

But that's not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is keeping people from throwing this stuff into the environment where it doesn't degrade, the solution? Ban it

What are they going to do about it? You also need to fine users if you want it to stop

It's not just hooking them in early, its hooking them in and keeping their eyeballs on the screen with psychological manipulation (infinite scroll, and visual cues) to sell ads.

Decades is assuming we continue the datacenter build out, the chances of datacenter demand destruction is not zero.

If they have hydrazine in them

The LLM models are just taking the 'average' probably if what humans would do. They have to have seen something or they can answer a question. They can't reason for themselves and they can't use logic. All they are doing is predicting the next word/token in the sentence and providing the best possible output according to the input based on what they've already seen.

The business sucks. At the advent of computer games, they were primarily designed to be fun by creative types. Then the businessmen came in an went full commercial. Games are now designed to serve up ads, generate revenue through loot boxes and any other psychological trick they can come up with to manipulate gamers through games. Now they are trying to completely control the industry and turn it into a monopoly so they can control everything, but I guess it didn't work like they planned.
