River crossing puzzles are a genre of logic problems that go back to the olden days. AI slop bots can act like they can solve them, because many solutions appear in their training data. But push the bot a little harder, and funny things happen.
Nobody wants to join a cult founded on the Daria/Hellraiser crossover I wrote while emotionally processing chronic pain. I feel very mid-status.
I found this because Greg Egan shared it elsewhere on fedi:
I am now being required by my day job to use an AI assistant to write code. I have also been informed that my usage of AI assistants will be monitored and decisions about my career will be based on those metrics.
Thereās an āI am no manā joke in here somewhere that I am too tired to figure out.
Hey, I havenāt seen this going around yet, but itchio is also taking books down with no erotic content that are just labeled as lgbtqia+
So thatās super cool and totally not what I thought they were going to do next š

And a relevant petition from the ACLU:

Itās āgeneral intelligenceā, the eugenicist wet dream of a supposedly quantitative measure of how the better class of humans do brain good.
From Yudās remarks on Xitter:
As much as people might like to joke about how little skill it takes to found a $2B investment fund, it isnāt actually true that you can just saunter in as a psychotic IQ 80 person and do that.
Well, not with that attitude.
You must be skilled at persuasion, at wearing masks, at fitting in, at knowing what is expected of you;
If āwearing masksā really is a skill they need, then they are all susceptible to going insane and hiding it from their coworkers. Really makes you think ā¢.
you must outperform other people also trying to do that, whoād like that $2B for themselves. Winning that competition requires g-factor and conscientious effort over a period.

āThis is not good news about which sort of humans ChatGPT can eat,ā mused Yudkowsky. āYes yes, Iām sure the guy was atypically susceptible for a $2 billion fund manager,ā he continued. āIt is nonetheless a small iota of bad news about how good ChatGPT is at producing ChatGPT psychosis; it contradicts the narrative where this only happens to people sufficiently low-status that AI companies should be allowed to break them.ā
Is this ānarrativeā in the room with us right now?
Itās reassuring to know that times change, but Yud will always be impressed by the virtues of the rich.

Hereās their page of instructions, written as usual by the children who really liked programming the family VCR:
Letās see who he reads. Vox Day (who is now using ChatGPT to ādisproveā evolution), Christopher Rufo, Curtis Yarvin, Emil Kirkegaard, Mars Review model Bimbo Ubermenschā¦ Itās a real Whoās Who of Why The Fuck Do I Know Who These People Are?!
It also gave Allie Brosh cancer:

Want to feel depressed? Over 2,000 Wikipedia articles, on topics from Morocco to Natalie Portman to Sinn FĆ©in, are corrupted by ChatGPT. And thatās just the obvious ones.

Vibe Coding Day 8,
Iām not even out of bed yet and Iām already planning my day on @Replit.
Today is AI Day, to really add AI to our algo.
[ā¦]
If @Replit deleted my database between my last session and now there will be hell to pay
Seems overly generous both to Christopher Hitchens and to Julia Galef.
(putting on an N95 before I enter the grocery store) dun dun DUN DUN dun dun DUN DUN deedle dee deedle dee DUN DUN
The more expertise you have, the more you can use ChatGPT as an idea collaborator, and use your own discernment on the validity of the ideas.
Good grief. Just take drugs, people.
Donāt worry; this post is not going to be cynical or demeaning to you or your AI companion.
If youāre worried that your āAI companionā can be demeaned by pointing out the basic truth about it, then you deserve to be demeaned yourself.
I had to attend a presentation from one of these guys, trying to tell a room full of journalists that LLMs could replace us & we needed to adapt by using it and I couldnāt stop thinking that an LLM could never be a trans journalist, but it could probably replace the guy giving the presentation.
