OpenAI Quietly Deletes Ban on Using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare”
Good job, Sam Altman. Saying one thing and doing the opposite. There are already enough conspiracy theories about Davos running the world, and the creepy eye-scanning orb guy isn’t helping.
Mr Altman, who founded Open AI which built chat bot ChatGPT, says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot.
That last line kinda creeps me out.
The whole thing is creepy. The name, the orb, scanning people’s eyes with it, specifically targeting poor Kenyan people (the “unbanked”) like a literal sci-fi villain.
Yeah that’s most most sci-fi dystopian article I’ve read in a while.
The line where one of the people waiting to get their eyes scanned is well eye opening " I don’t care what they do with the data, I just want the money", this is why they want us poor, so we need money so badly that we will impatiently hand over everything that makes us.
But we already happily hand over our DNA genome to private corporations, so what’s an eye scan gonna do…
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That’s why they just removed the military limitations in their terms of service I guess…
I also want to sell my shit for every purpose but take zero responsibility for consequences.
Considering what we’ve decided to call AI can’t actually make decisions, that’s a no-brainer.
Shouldn’t, but there’s absolutely nothing stopping it, and lazy tech companies absolutely will. I mean we live in a world where Boeing built a plane that couldn’t fly straight so they tried to fix it with software. The tech will be abused so long as people are greedy.
So long as people are rewarded for being greedy. Greedy and awful people will always exist, but the issue is in allowing them to control how things are run.
