Not really unique to chatbots. Here’s a couple of entries from the D.O.S. (which is apparently pay walled now? Turns out the top result is a site by a grifter completely unrelated to John Koenig).

Anecdoche

n.

a conversation in which everyone is talking but nobody is listening— instead merely overlaying words like a spoken game of Scrabble, each player borrowing bits of others’ anecdotes to build out their own, until we reach a point when we all run out of things to say.

From anecdote, a short and often amusing account of real-life events + synecdoche, a figure of speech in which a part stands for the whole. Pronounced “uh-nek-doh-kee.”

Anechosis

n.

a state of exhaustion with continually being told what you want to hear, whether by marketers pandering to you or acquaintances afraid of causing offense; the longing for someone to have the heart to finally call you out on your bullshit, challenge your long-held assumptions, and push you to become a better person—which would be a far deeper kindness than trying to live and let live.

From an-, against + echoes. Pronounced “an-uh-koh-sis.”

You got a source for this?

Yeah, fair enough.

Pretty sure that was “lost” as in, “needing a map.” Not everything needs to be about winning or losing.

You got a reference for that?

Yeah, that is a pretty shitty consequence, but it’s nothing new or different from the strandard clean room techniques the industry has been using for decades.

Does the cost outweigh the benefits?

No.

I fail to see how this has anything to do with the Harry Potter lady or the YouTube tech guy.

Don’t forget about the personalized propaganda advertising! When the whole populous hits the same API endpoint, you get recon, generation, and delivery all through the same platform. Very resource-efficient.

Which would have you right at the top of the watchlist. Gotta keep an eye on this guy; you never know what he’s gonna do.

Your dialectic skills truly know no bounds.

Edit: I responded to the wrong person.

Your examples of prohibition and mine are not the same. Mine were purposefully chosen because they are or were contentious, just like AI is now.

Your examples, on the other hand, outline situations where we were using something harmful that we did not realize at the time was harmful. Once that realization came to light, everyone agreed to stop. If you want to say this is the current situation with AI, then that’s coherent. This is my olive branch to you.

As for local models if you want to maintain that DSv4.1, GLM-5.3-f, M-3.1, or ther ilk are not near frontier-level. Then, I guess you are allowed to be wrong.

No problem. Any time!

Legislate AI away

Yes, because that has worked so well in the past for alcohol, cannabis, homosexuality, or nuclear proliferation.

existing open models that run on consumer-grade GPUs and are therefore orders of magnitude weaker and can’t be used to break down any systems.

This class of models is already perfectly capable of finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in software, and is within spitting distance of the frontier.

Or penalize heavily any company developing a model that is subsequently used to invade a system.

Yeah, that case will be on the docket right behind U.S.A. vs Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon surely.

Do you seriously believe any of these are within the realm of possibility, or even believability?

I asked you to provide specifics about the future that AI is leading us towards, not a summary of the early 21st century. However, I understand how the question could have been confusing to one such as yourself who swims in the steam of prescience.

Or, if we must stick to metaphor, where is AI in this airplane?

Dollars to donuts says they don’t have a preferred outcome, or at least not anything that amounts to more than wishful thinking.

It’s crazy how many people have only reactionary opinions that are largely divorced from reality when it comes to humanity’s relationship with AI.

the very problematic ends AI is leading us towards anyway.

Please Mr. Time Traveller. Tell us about the future.
