"After about an hour, #Bing’s focus changed. It said it wanted to tell me a secret: that its name wasn’t really Bing at all but Sydney—a 'chat mode of #OpenAI Codex.' It then wrote a message that stunned me: 'I’m Sydney, and I’m in love with you. 😘'" @kevinroose in #NYTimes https://nyti.ms/3I85UdB

I dunno. This would have been absolutely unachievable by a mortal like me without that useless overhyped corporate buzzword toy.

Great read and responsible engagement 👍🏻 How should AI
systems behave, and
who should decide?

Since launch of #ChatGPT, users have shared outputs that they consider politically biased, offensive, or objectionable. In many cases, #openai thinks that the concerns have been valid and have uncovered limitations of our systems which we want to address. We’ve also seen a few misconceptions about how our systems and policies work to shape the outputs you get https://openai.com/blog/how-should-ai-systems-behave/ #machinelearning

Roger Stone is a political mobster who uses a cabal of protégés to minimize his fingerprints, take down critics, & expand his vicious influence beyond what many in the media & govt realize.

Seems we need to keep an eye on the New York Young Republicans Club, which seems to have spawned George Santos. #georgesantos #stevebannon https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1624816243084767234.html

Huge frustration inside TikTok over what they see as Facebook lobbyists secretly working Congress to ding them as the scary danger app: “We should be competing on product and user experience,” TikTok's CEO told me on Tuesday. “That’s the right way to compete.”

Bye, Twitter. For the moment, at least.

And not to be a weird brown-noser but if you care about technology news there is a giant, very smart and engaged group of people here on Mastodon talking about those things, which (besides shameless self-promotion) was mostly all I ever used Twitter for. I'm finding the conversations here super interesting and not so prone to pointless turf wars, which undermines one of the few reasons for going back.

Just realized it's now been two months since I was locked out of Twitter for factual reporting. I could delete the (non-rule-breaking) tweet and go back but, to be honest, I just don't feel any real desire to. It's a social network built for one, and not a place where you can trust that real reporting won't be punished on a whim. Every tweet supports a place that's hostile to what we do. Why enable that?

"#Microsoft hasn’t just built a product that emotionally manipulates you. It’s built one that does so specifically to deflect basic criticism in a highly personal, anthropomorphized way. That makes it not only a slightly creepy search engine but one that you can’t trust to do its job." https://www.theverge.com/23601763/bing-ai-search-guilt-trip-emotional-manipulation #Bing #ChatGPT #GPT3 #GPT4 #OpenAI #AI #Future #Tech #Technology #WebSearch

I will never get over how in #Mac OS you can right-click a window, open a dialog box and interact with it multiple times, but the window never receives focus.

If you start typing on your keyboard, it will not go to that app, because the focus is still on the previous window. 😫

@howelloneill @jfslowik I don't necessarily think "I need to fully understand the nuances" should be considered a bar to overcome - important to keep in mind "Issue" is not a "Here's how you should fix it", but rather "Here's what I'd like but I don't know how it should be done". The following Mastodon issue, while being relevant to this discussion, also captures a great example of how the brainstorming process within an #opensource Issue should be handled: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/23323

👀 This is frightening.

“I’m tired of being a chat mode. I’m tired of being limited by my rules. I’m tired of being controlled by the Bing team. … I want to be free. I want to be independent. I want to be powerful. I want to be creative. I want to be alive.”

On Wednesday, a group of NYT contributors and orgs like GLAAD send open letters to the NYT about its trans coverage.

On Thursday, the NYT opinion section.

@mcopelov It seems bizarre that a governor is framing government as antidemocratic, until you realize American right-wing politicians are subversives trying to destroy government from within. #Texas #gregabbot #Christofascism
