Another kind of porn?

Full quote is this: "The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A book that is written to challenge all readers, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence–based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity."

Does 'the Christian worldview' invalidate any conclusions the authors may present?

5+ years is definitely "ages" in LLM context. It was a thing way before GPT 3.5 (obviously, as this is humans we're talking about).

and if you don't send them ID the Chat will start responding "oh you little tike, that's something we need to ask your daddy if we're allowed to tell you"

They already do. If you want to use gpt-5 with the new responses API, I had to upload my id.

That's the idea. For too long people have been able to free-associate and share truth online. Now they finally have a reason to end anonymity online. Due to the raw power of AI there is a very real threat these new tools provide to bad actors in the generation of misinformation and disinformation and now we need to ascertain the providence of all content created online. With "AI" being injected into every site, app, and OS we will be forced to associate real world ID's to any and all actions int he digital realm in order to "protect" the public from the wave of fabricated reality they will create.

Of course these tools will be used by those that control the moderation systems to craft and shape global negative on a scale we have never seen before. A new kind of Dark ages are here. Not one where dusty tomes are changed to the monastery walls, no, our books write and rewrite themselves in real time as needed until every thought is controlled by the over-mind.

  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Happy Prompting.

OAI is a big fat lawsuit target, plus they can restrict it and still make the money because odds are they'll also have it on API, and someone could verify for the API then offer a wrapper around OAI with less stringent ID verification.

OAI ultimately still makes a ton of money, and gets to wash their hands of much of the liability. It's a win-win.

Not before they try to use it to leverage some concessions first.

What about the people currently in office?

This is a ridiculous attitude, exactly equivalent to 'if you've nothing to fear you've nothing to hide'. In practice different geographic localities (e.g.: EU, California) have far different (and improving) limits on the personal information that can be stored by companies and how it is used.

Various forms of online hygiene, from ad blocking to VPNs, to anonymous email accounts are likely utilised by the hacker news audience. Because we're all well aware of the value of our privacy, the value of our personal data, and the aggressive and often illegal efforts by major tech firms and data brokers to acquire both.

It's incredibly important to continue progress in the area, both in terms of informing the public (and politicians) of how our behaviour is observed and shaped by social networks and big tech: and by taking all obvious and easily available measures to reduce and remove the information they have and continue to gather.

One obvious way is by not sharing private sexual data with a major corporation, where not absolutely necessary.

Edit: Oh, and since a reference to the Luddites is a regular thought terminating cliche on HN - https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2021/06/the-luddites-wer...

Why desperate? There's clearly a demand for it.

If so, it's a clever strategic move as they know that most of their competition will struggle to allow such a policy because they can't move so fast on such morally loaded topics like OAI.

Typically not a good sign when a company resorts to selling porn.

Didn't work well for Tumblr, not working well for Twitter, maybe AI is different.

I find these takes so odd. Porn is the early adopter of EVERY technology. When non-linear editing software was invented in the 90s by Avid, who was the first industry to use them? It might not be advertised, but it's true. Porn leads the way. lol. This is no different.
