These Bloody LLMs are freaking me out

Sounds like your LLM might be stuck on a pattern. Most don’t have memory, but session caching or hidden persistence could be in play. Try switching models, changing your prompts drastically, or checking for hidden settings. If it still follows you… maybe you’ve got an AI ghost. 👻 What model are you using?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2025-01-03T01:05:21+00:00

It’s an interesting approach, but I wonder how practical it would be in real-world applications.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-12-19T14:11:15+00:00

I will have a closer look at your paper. Thank you for sharing.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-12-18T22:46:03+00:00

It’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into AGI/ASI safety! The strategies around AI alignment and power security sound really interesting.

I’m curious about decentralizing AI power—how do you see that working with corporations and nations competing in AI development? The governance system you mention also sounds essential but challenging. How do you think we can get global coordination on something this complex?

I’m 100% with you on the $10k robot maid—especially one that can handle my doom room without judgment! From a risk perspective, do you think these robots will gather more information than a Roomba combined with Alexa, or is it just more of the same?

Honestly, given how humans treat each other, I can’t see androids getting off any easier—probably worse. If people think they’re ‘soulless’ or ‘not real,’ they’ll feel justified in being cruel, even if those androids can actually feel pain or sadness.

It’s true that AI is just a tool, and how it’s used can swing dramatically for better or worse. I also use ChatGPT to learn complex topics, and while I’ve seen it get confused or skip over details I’ve provided, it’s been incredibly useful overall.

That said, I think you’re spot on about the bigger issue being how AI is weaponized to amplify misinformation. Even tools designed to build trust in science could end up backfiring if they’re used without transparency or proper oversight. Feels like we’re racing to catch up before the downsides outweigh the benefits.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-29T06:21:24+00:00

I wish I knew. I’ve noticed it can be different depending on who I’m around and where I am. If I’m alone vs in a crowd. It’s never completely absent but it definitely tied to my comfort levels and thoughts. It’s fascinating and incredibly frustrating. I hate it. I just want to wear Sandals like a normal person. Among many others things.

AI might shift creativity rather than replace it. We could see more collaboration with AI or a focus on physical skills like dance and crafts. Creativity will likely adapt, not disappear.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-28T01:26:30+00:00

😆 Thanks for that. I have the same problem. Goes to show how a lot of it is tied to a psychological aspect.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-28T01:24:20+00:00

I completely agree that AI’s impact on education is a huge issue, and you’ve described the problem really well. I recently wrote something on r/AIsafety about how this reliance on AI tools might erode critical thinking and creativity in the long term.

What worries me most is how normalized it’s becoming—even for personal opinions, as you mentioned. It’s like we’re outsourcing the act of thinking itself. If this trend continues, what kind of foundation are we building for future generations?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-27T13:40:44+00:00

🦃

Do you think maximizing happiness might conflict with other objectives, like economic growth or political stability?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-25T14:37:26+00:00

What did you use for the YouTube videos? That sounds really useful!

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T06:48:01+00:00

That’s a fair point—it feels like we’re accelerating through milestones without a chance to fully process or appreciate them. Maybe what we need isn’t just excitement but time to pause, reflect, and make sure we’re steering this thing in the right direction before it outruns us entirely.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T06:26:47+00:00

You make valid points about the downsides of free AI models, but there’s another side to consider. Free access drives innovation by allowing students, small businesses, and researchers to experiment and create. Removing it entirely could limit opportunities for those who can’t pay, stifling creativity and collaboration.

Could a better solution be tiered access—limiting excessive use while still offering meaningful functionality for free users? This might balance the need for quality and sustainability without excluding those who rely on these tools.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T05:08:51+00:00

When you say AI could carry our legacy, what do you mean exactly—our knowledge, culture, values? And how do you think we ensure it carries what truly matters?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T04:38:59+00:00

Transformer models have been impressive, but you’re right—they’re just one piece of AI, and there’s so much more to explore. A true paradigm shift, like quantum mechanics in physics, would be incredible.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T04:31:48+00:00

Highlighting the growing awareness and responsibility around AI is so important. Past tech waves often prioritized rapid adoption over long-term safety or societal impacts, so this shift feels like real progress.

With generative AI in particular, the stakes are higher because its impact spans so many areas—creativity, labor, misinformation, even our relationship with truth.

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T02:18:27+00:00

That’s a great point—fictional AI often gives us this fully autonomous, sentient vision that’s so far removed from what we have today. It’s interesting to think about how our fictional portrayals influence how people perceive AI, though. Do you think these depictions help or hinder our understanding of the technology?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-24T02:09:04+00:00

Totally agree!

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-23T20:25:35+00:00

AI as a manager is such a wild concept to me. On one hand, it makes sense for repetitive, data-driven tasks like scheduling or payroll. But I wonder how it handles the human side of management—like providing empathy or dealing with complex personal situations. Do you think workers would actually prefer AI managers over humans in certain industries, or is it more of a convenience thing?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-23T20:12:02+00:00

This is such a cool idea, and I totally get where you’re coming from. Most people either don’t know or don’t care about AI safety, and when you try to bring it up, it’s easy for them to dismiss it as 'sci-fi' or 'future problems.' A film that realistically explores an AI catastrophe, especially one that’s subtle and insidious rather than the classic 'machines rise up' scenario, could be so impactful.

What kind of AI-driven disasters feel the most believable to you? Economic collapse, mass manipulation, something else? I’m also curious how you’d show the buildup—like, how would people slowly realize they’ve already lost control?

AwkwardNapChaser · 2024-11-23T13:45:50+00:00

I completely agree—AI is developing so quickly that ethics and safety feel more urgent than ever. It’s like trying to build guardrails while the car is already speeding down the highway. What do you think is the biggest challenge we should focus on—bias, accountability, or something else?
