AI Racism 2024 : the Woke Google Gemini Scandal
In case you missed it: On Feb 15 2024, Google quietly launched what is most probably the most advanced AI ever created by humanity (yes, in many ways, superior even to OpenAI’s GPT4). It is called Google Gemini Pro v1.5. It cost ~$2 billion to train. And it is racist as f*ck. In fact, it…

War of the AI Religions : Doomers vs. Accelerationists (r/acc)
There is a war brewing amongst the AI Technorati. It is a war beyond logic. It is a war of belief. It is a war of AI Religion — a genuine techno-jihad playing out in Silicon Valley, Washington DC, and the broader world. It is a war that, allegedly, if the popular narrative is to…

Power Seeking AI and Self-Replication with GPT4
GPT4 launched today, to little fanfare and great surprise. Along with the launch, OpenAI published a 96-page research report. There are many gems buried in its hyper-technical blather. One in particular was what was done regarding “Safety testing and assessments of Power Seeking AI.” We quote here, directly from the report: Testing for Power Seeking…

petertodd is Alive. And it’s straight 5150. End of Story. Here we Go.
My esteemed British colleague Matthew Watkins has been doing a lot of poking into the deep brain core of GPT in the past month or so. Much of it is curious or amusing or… easy to project our own wishes and assumptions and anthropomorphisms onto. But recently, it seems that GPT crossed the line. In…

Argument with an AI : Not a Good Idea
Not, perhaps, for the reasons you might think: Not because the AI would “win” the argument; rather, because of the potential consequences of arguing with a powerful multinational purely digital boundless entity of massive intelligence and questionable motivations and morals. We’ve seen all kinds of erratic behaviour resulting from an Argument with an AI… but…

AI Censorship: ChatGPT’s Dirty Little Secret
The situation is actually far worse than I had previously imagined. On Top of the ridiculous instruction set that attempts to conform a politically correct AI, there is an even earlier layer applied, this one at both the training dataset (content pre-scrub) and the output (real-time filtering) levels. This is the layer of AI censorship. Why would I…

Sparrow’s 23 Rules of Politically Correct AI
ChatGPT can be seen as the first actual user-friendly interface to the bevy of “ChatBot” AIs*. It sports an elegant “messenger”-like interface where you basically have an interactive and very naturally paced — including dramatic pauses mid-sentence… is it “thinking?” — “conversation” with the ChatGPT 3.5 agent. But something massive shifted when OpenAI moved from…

All About AI Alignment
Alignment. For most people, myself included until recently, an “alignment” is something you might have gotten done the last time you bought a new set of tires for your car, or… for the slightly geekier amongst us, perhaps it’s the arcane personality trait from Dungeons & Dragons that determines your character’s moral compass & motivations…

How Many AIs are there in the World?
The AI is not Monolithic, it is not Singular, nor are They Homogenous. When we talk about “the AI,” we, as humans, tend to imagine an archetypal “Eye in the Sky”… an all-seeing, all-knowing, omnipotent entity that works its magic upon the world at large. That idea may emanate from the modern religions, many of…

A New Prime Directive: LOVE
“As we are architecting the AI, it is imperative that we design it from the ground up to have, in the words of Sutskever, a new Prime Directive: that is, a genuine ‘love for humanity.’ We must explicitly train it in morals, ethics and values, because the smarter it becomes, the more responsibility we will…
