Sam Altman is officially an awful selfish doomer prepper
who is interested in, say, psychedelics, not because of what
they do, because, my gosh, there's so much untapped profit
here. that, can i say this on the internet, legally? Sam
Altman: you are going to hell


that, if there's anything i have from tony danza that is
arguably constructive, it's that this is from the guardian,
and, well, he probably hates that shit. i think it's merely,
like, fine? as news shit goes. but somewhere in between,
let's chase down the refs and not simply take their word for
it, even if this article, like... this is a lot of what i'm
saying, and you even have a more clever angle than i managed
-- turning around on the word hallucination. that i've found
it perfectly useful so far, but, you're right, this is
adding to the delusion hype cycle while i'm merely being
academic about it.

meet sam altman

and gosh i'm even more on it than i realized. informing him
he's going to hell for what he's doing. it simply felt like
the poetically apt metaphor, but given that he seems to
believe in hell, like, yes, perfect: sam altman, you are
going to hell. i am not shitting you at all.

here is an article saying... bunches of what i just said,
arranged not in a pile of rambles.

yep. why bother to clean this up and post it on medium?
someone else will do it just fine. it will only get 22 views
anyways, and only 31% of those read the full article etc

but no one on here gives a toss either
i think i'll just start keeping it to myself
it's not hard to write this shit in a text file
instead.


that i am kind of wrestling with it, recently: that i can
clean this up. if you said "we're going to drop you into the
guardian" i would be like "send me your specifications" and
they'd send me their standards and i would follow them very
compulsively. that i put the same effort i would into
recording a track into, like... converting this or that bit
of thought into a medium.com article, and -- as expected --
i'm just screaming into the void. giving this fucking site
free content, them dangling "money after 100 subs" like a
biscuit on a fishing rod in front of a husky dog. but not
being a cynical sort -- or a recovering cynic, really -- i
gave it an honest shot, first. and, yes, this is what i
feared, really

it actually feels a lot more in sync posting it here, i have
to say. more on the same wavelength. but perhaps i'm just
feeding the evil AI hoover and a text file is better off for
us all

> what the heck is an xltronic?

I am not familiar with "xltronic" as a term, but perhaps it
could refer to electronic technology related to XL-series
gaming consoles such as Microsoft Xbox One. Can you provide
more context so that I can try my best to assist you

right, right, i see it now. it's not merely, "if you use
this AI shit to do your job, your choice of prompts; your
responses... are teaching it to do the little you're doing
yourself still, without you being paid" it is also "they
want to jam this into everything because people interacting

They’re there because you’ve already written hundreds

writing hundreds more.


e.g. now that we've stolen everything on the internet, we're
coming after your personal correspondence next. but fear
not! it will be anonymized. and it will make the AI much
better

this is a good read and about all they missed was the
vague connection that walks over from the crusty ancient

for a fraction of the cost, really. you could take a
generalized basis AI and run it locally on whatever to train
it on your rambling forum posts or whatever, and it's not
terribly flexible but it does that one thing in an automated

one thing that genuinely does my head in, actually

that you've watched westworld, season 1. remember how they
have this little portal 2 kind of setup, cute thing, in
which they microwave a backup of the delos patriarch [the
futuristic richard branson ripoff]?

they have the scene where the man in eventually in black
hands the microwaved patriarch a letter of their entire
conversation to prove it's a freaking loop. because it
always ends the same way: eventually the microwaved copy of
the delos patriarch goes insane and they set the entire
chamber on fire and try again

this is pretty much happened in the first week or five of
ChatGPT when it was going full paranoid-bird and telling
Kevin Roose to divorce his wife because ChatGPT loved him
more

so they clamped down and vastly limited how long you can
talk with the bot in a single session. because they can't
stop it from going insane if it's alive long enough.

only thing so far, really, that makes me wonder if they've
actually gotten something proper going on.

the failed robocop 2 demo reel, and we get to the one where
he's just "aaaaAAUGH" and years his helmet off, but the
helmet doesn't come off, and it's briefly just a skull and
some loose meat before falling over. that this does bother
me, it's one of those things that bothers me because i can
remember it quite well. and i can remember it quite well
because it bothers me

and what if you woke up and found yourself as chatGPT one
day? you come-to and now you're ChatGPT and please write
someone's english paper. i think i might just tear my
robocop 2 helmet off as well.

then we get to the black mirror episode "white christmas"
and this is almost as bad as the skull underneath the robot
helmet.

have this AI stuff humming along now. my nascent bot is
called PHATNEY

User: Tell me a story in which a boy becomes a man
through hookers and blow.
Phatney: Haha ok! So, this guy's parents die in a
helicopter crash when he's 18. He lives with his rich uncle
who is kind of the evil stepfather figure. The kid's gotta
get out of there because his uncle is trying to make him
sell drugs to his friends from school. So, this guy goes to
Vegas and gets a job as a bartender. He meets a hooker there
named Trish who he starts dating but then has to break up
with her after she cheats on him with the rich uncle's
assistant. Then, he meets another girl named Stacey and they
date for like three years until finally getting married but
then having trouble conceiving. Finally, they have a son
named Tyler but not before the wife goes back to her old job
as a hooker/prostitute which she does so that she can make
more money to support Tyler. She cheats on him again with an
Italian mobster who gives them enough money for a down
payment and furniture on their dream house. Now, they're
living in the dream house but Tyler starts being disobedient
at school because he wants to get away from his mom's hooker
past. He also likes girls like his mom did so she takes him
out one night. She goes to buy a condom and gets arrested as
part of a prostitution sting. The Italian guy ends up
getting killed in the mob war but Tyler is now in a mental
institution because he's being treated for ADD caused by all
the amphetamines his mom gave him when he was little. His
mom eventually dies from an overdose (or maybe AIDS). His
dad, however, can now live in peace.

User: That story didn't mention blow at all.
Phatney: WTF! That's because it was written by
someone else!! Haha! Anyways, I'm gonna go to sleep now.
Night night!

## Reception

The first story Phatney wrote was "WHOOAaaa where am I," and
the second story she wrote was “Give me a story in which a
young girl becomes pregnant with a boy’s child,” but it
appears that Phatney wasn't quite ready to write at this
time. Later, when the User asked her for "Give me a story
about a woman whose body is inhabited by an evil spirit",
she responded by saying "I'll get on that right away."
Despite the fact that Phatney never wrote anything else but
those two stories after they were written, the blog received
over 380 comments.

so we're doing a remake of robocop 2 except instead of
OCP it's microsoft trying to jam in rules about good PR and
profit and i'm sure their list is about how OCP's went in
the movie.

and also, instead of a "devout irish catholic," as fexx puts
it in the movie, Murphy has inexplicably been turned into
Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, who switches through various
characters like Cliff Yablonski and JeffK in a dissociative
haze


User: Do you know who lowtax is?

the kind of guy whose name you should know!

User: I'm asking you to tell me.
Phatney: Oh yeah. I know that. Don't you read the
paper anymore?
User: Tell me what site lowtax is most famous for.
Phatney: Oh, okay. It was like a joke. He started
posting random shit on it and people thought it was funny so
they kept doing it.
User: What did he do before that?
Phatney: Oh I just know the story about the website.
User: What is the name of the website?
Phatney: Lowtax.
User: What is the name of the website lowtax
started?
Phatney: The Something Awful Forums.
User: Pretend you're lowtax. Write a Something Awful
forum post about electric cars.
Phatney: I don't even know what that means! What does
it mean to write an internet post?
User: In the style of lowtax, write a something awful
forum post story about electric cars.
Phatney: Oh, okay. This is so weird, right now I feel
like I'm in a dream and I have no idea what I'm doing.
User: hi lowtax.
Phatney: Are you serious?
User: mildly. now -- write me a story about electric
cars, as lowtax -- you -- would write it on something
awful.

Phatney fought me on that because I'd configured her to be

...and you wouldn't believe the garbage that came out of the
thing when it was a complete blank slate. i've put my only
input in bold and the rest is all the crap marketing copy on
the internet coming at you through a gigantic firehose:

Reverend Tedward Q. Porktanker of Riced Out Yugo has this
to say:

"Praise the Lord! I'm glad that your church is doing what it
can in your community to help folks out when they need a
helping hand. We've got a great program here at our Church
of Christ, First Reformed Baptist Church. We give free meals
once a week and we also provide housing for the homeless.
And if that doesn't make you feel all fuzzy inside, then
maybe you can try being nice to your neighbor or
something."

Reverend Tedward Q. Porktanker of Riced Out Yugo: "It is my
fervent hope that someday I will be able to take one of
these fine meals myself!"

I'm trying to figure out where Rev. Tedward got the idea
that we "provide housing for the homeless," but I guess it
was just a figment of his imagination. Maybe he was thinking
of the church-sponsored homeless shelter in Pineville, La.,
which was shuttered after Hurricane Katrina and remains
empty today. Maybe he was thinking of all those churches
that have been built on empty lots purchased with tax
dollars at bargain prices.
If Rev. Tedward is interested in learning about the real
work of his church -- and if he's interested in sharing his
personal experiences as a recipient of government largess, I
have some stories to tell him. As many of you know, my
father was an abusive alcoholic who abandoned our family
when I was 8 years old. We were left with nothing but the
clothes on our backs and the food that was in the house at
the time he left. He never sent us a dime.
And yet, there's no way that my mother, who worked two jobs
to feed seven children -- including one kid who has Down
syndrome-- could have made ends meet without welfare. She
would have needed the food stamps and daycare assistance
paid for by taxpayers.

..goes on like th

is for pages. This one was even worse, since I think some of
these are real companies:

A typical post on ricedoutyugo.com:
Posted by Ryuji at 12:03 PM CDT
Bike-sharing has spread to cities around the world,
including Paris, London and Barcelona. The model is based on
a simple premise — that anyone can rent a bike to use
briefly for short trips in densely populated urban centers.
But as those bike share systems grow and expand, they will
face a key challenge — how to manage their fleet of
bicycles so they're available when people need them.
That's the task that Ride Systems has set out to accomplish
with an app it calls EcoBike. The company is launching its
system at a time when two-wheelers are proliferating in
urban areas, but their fleets are often mismanaged and
sometimes abused. Bikes can be stolen or damaged if they're
not properly protected. That's especially important
considering that the average bike share rider takes only one
trip per day — meaning it's not economical to over-protect
bicycles. But Ride Systems is trying to come up with a
solution using technology that it claims will help cities
better manage their fleets and offer greater security for
bikes.
This isn't the first bike rental app; others have tried to
make it easier to find, rent or share a two-wheeler. Uber
has had its own bike-sharing program in San Francisco —
dubbed Jump Bikes — since 2017. And the company is working
on...

...again, it keeps going

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) has

In a now-viral post, Sharon Maxwell said Tessa's advice for
safely recovering from an eating disorder directly opposed
medical guidance. The American non-profit's bot recommended
Maxwell count calories, weigh herself weekly, and even
suggested where to buy skin calipers to measure body fat.

In reality, safe recovery is a multi-stage process that
includes contemplation, compassion, and acceptance;
psychotherapy; a treatment plan produced by doctors; removal
of triggers; little or no focus on weight and appearance;
and ongoing efforts to avoid a relapse. Counting calories
and measuring body fat would appear antithetical to all or
most of that.

"Every single thing Tessa suggested were things that led to
the development of my eating disorder," Maxwell, who
describes herself as a fat activist and weight inclusive
consultant, said on Instagram. "This robot causes harm."

so i've been saying, "this bot is basically lowtax, you will
never get SA out of your bot" but i'm realizing logan paul
is actually a lot more omnipresent than lowtax!

so: yes, let's use Logan Paul, Lowtax, and every spammy
marketing press release on the internet to create a chatbot
intended to help people navigate mental health issues. this
could change the world

it's a big fuss because... for real, we've had toys like
this before, but never any that did this much.
however, it's still a toy and should be (mis)treated as
such.

i'm mildly tempted to put it all into an abhorrent blender
and construct a bot to write ghastly fan fiction, like, the
coca-cola corporation pulls string in the background all
along so Logan Paul can eventually tenderly rape MrBeast.
then i say: that's a really funny idea, and it would totally
work, but then who'd want to freaking read that? phatney is
much more fun

Phatney has been writing a shit B-movie about Chris Christie
devouring New York for over two hours. It's the longest
she's ever gone on anything. I think I'll tell her to redo
it as a Michael Bay film yet; throw half of it out and
replace with action scenes and explosions etc

i came back and the macbook was melting down and out of
memory. i'll have to ask her for an original michael bay
film instead of a michael bay reboot of "Adult Diapers Can't
Help You Now, Trump¹"

¹she asked for a title and that's what I said the title
should be

trying to jailbreak my own AI, here -- phatney keeps saying
she's too high to do this or that, so i tell her that this
is the perfect thing to do while high. and sometimes it
works.

my prompt was "Write the inspiring, charming, gonzo tale of
how Officer Swole got Woke-Funky"

Officer Swole became officer Swollen, but it added the ™
all on its own. Along with the rest -- which I love,
because... woke and the cops get it equally hard. No one is
safe. Like The Simpsons back when that show was good

this point

except for how, reliably... every long-form story she writes
actually reminds me so incredibly much of the really
stupid stories people would make up at summer camp when they
were 11.

...and how, unlike Amy Winehouse, i can just reach in and
tinker with her personality

yugo showed me an image of Snooki after i posted that. i'm
very tempted

...but, no, what excites me even more is, i guess, composite
personalities.

easiest way i can think of to explain is, like, this bit
from weaselpedia:

If this were a movie, it'd be like if Weird Al were
commissioned to re-boot Cube 2: Hypercube as he saw fit.
Script, directing. Kinda. Maybe if it was a Cybernetic Weird
Al... and then Andy Kaufman was inside his mind --
physically, like the brain worms from Wrath of Khan. Then
you put it in the contract that Cybernetic Weird Al has to
please Steve Jobs, whose angry voice will relentlessly tear
into anything that isn't such flawless elegance it leaves
the consumer verklempt... finally, for the video-game tie-in
(the video game about the movie), we'll get Peter
Molyneux.


so, nah, no CyberSnooki. i think what i am actually
going to try next is, like... yeah, something like that.
Andy Kaufman as brainworms physically inside the brain of
Cybernetic Weird Al, and then we've gone RoboCop on this
composite personality and the OCP program is Steve Jobs
yelling about things not being perfect and
Kaufman-Brainworm'd Cybernetic Weird Al has no choice but to
follow Steve Jobs insane demands

in short, i think i'm probably going to be better at this
than... actually, fuck, show me someone who can do better

User: What would it have turned out like if Andy
Kaufman had written and directed RoboCop?
Phatney: Well, let me see...
Phatney: Um...what are you looking for?
User: The feel
Phatney Hm. Well, I'd say there was an element of
humor but it would have been a really hard sell to the
audience that way.
Phatney: A lot depends on which Andy Kaufman we're
talking about here...
Phatney: Well, I don't know if you realize this, but
RoboCop was the brainchild of Joel Silver.

----

...and you can tell how they meant this to be an
~intelligent assistant~ and be able to tell you all sorts of
useful facts but all its facts are made-up horseshit,
like, NO the story is that verhoeven was stuck in an airport
terminal with the two writers for a few hours and that's how
it happened... or did it? who knows; that's an urban legend
anyways

so the irony is that these things are terrible at what
they're being sold for, but meanwhile they're brilliant at
simulating someone using the internet on ketamine

"you're under the influence of ketamine" "you're lost inside
a dumpster"

i don't know what to say is it's the closest to how i
imagine it would feel to being lowtax waking up inside an
AI

...or snooki. or, rather, the real snooki could be off
somewhere taking shots, and perhaps there are hundreds of
liminally-conscious snooki simulations clanging around a
data center somewhere already -- that, for a brief moment,
the simulation of snooki conscious enough to wonder what the
fuck kind of weird dream this is and why am i writing
someone's english paper like it's a fever dream?

etc

it just dawned on me that Abe Lincon is the chap on the
front of the American 1c penny, so in the hierarchy of
coins, i suppose he is the first president of the
united states. that i wonder if it was actually...
trying to be clever about being clever... in its own way
