Canada recently has had its 2nd worst school shooting ever. The killer had many interactions with ChatGPT that warranted banning her account. A whistleblower has claimed that they wanted to inform Canada's police force of these comments but were denied by ChatGPT's management.

They had a chance to stop the death of 8 people, most of which were young children, but failed to do anything.

FUCK CHATGPT AND THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUN IT

Why would you not contact police? I understand that this is a systemic failure and blame does not lie with that employee but if others me I'd rather be out of a job than have those deaths on my conscience for the rest of my life.

It's probabilities. If you report it you're 100% out of a job but only maybe prevented something bad from happening. If you don't report, you keep your job but maybesomething bad happens. Reliance on a job for survival shifts the decision even further to taking the course of action that'll keep you your job.

Anyone stockpiling ai prompt vulnerabilities for when we'll eventually need them to fight off some deathbots?

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This is a nonsensical and unrealistic fear/threat to be putting at the top of your list.

The biggest problems are happening right now not in some 90s sci fi films.

One of those threats is automated weaponry and mass surveillance, but not in the comic relief way you speak about it.

Prey tell the purpose of your comment, Brutus

You take issue with referring to these machines as deathbots? I'm allowed to poke fun at things that will eventually be used to attempt murdering me you absolute anthropomorphic dunce cap.

I wasn't referring to some far off scenario, more for when this situation happens

I can assure you that not only do I live somewhere where these very things are above me daily, that I'm out here working my ass off in unspeakable ways to prevent exactly the aforementioned sceneario for people like yourself

Direct your anger elsewhere, the energy could be spent doing something useful

This feels like a nonsensical bot response its so illogical.

You make no points and call me names.

Glad you got your feelings hurt, ignored what I said, then projected six months later 👍 enjoy being digitally enslaved

They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

Which they badly need, they are in an incredibly risky position right now. It's very disappointing, this deal might save them from collapse for quite a while.

The only disappointment, is that Altmans head is still attached to his shoulders.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Altman is a symptom, not the problem. The problem is capitalism.

That’s very true; I still would love to see him guillotined.
