Agreed, if scientists could study what it was doing then they could come up with ways to try and improve what it is doing.

Really wish there was a way to study the training data and processes of chatgpt other than by inference. Which is to say, I wish these people would stop intentionally blackboxing their damn systems so they could be investigated by sincere researchers.
Like… if these are real, then this OpenAI chatGPT/Microsoft Bing integration is… Really not ready for public use. I mean, these examples legit read like you gave a recalcitrant 4 y.o. epistemic and motivational determinative authority.
Which, depending on the nature and persistence of these errors, could turn genuinely deadly.

Right-wingers are so hostile toward free speech. It's amazing that anyone ever believed their bullshit about championing it.
"Republicans take aim at risque jokes and romance novels with anti-sex bills"

Anti sex bill, great idea, lets stop Republicans procreating.

Microsoft stock falling as Bing AI descends into madness

Then we need to start cancelling these politicians for LYING and the big oIL Companies for covering up reports and resarch so they can just carry on producing environmentally damaging products that they know full well do that.

Given all the crazy happening on Twitter this morning, where Elon is shutting down free SMS Two Factor Authentification, putting it behind a paywall, it seems like a good time to post this:
This server and all Mastodon servers have built-in Two-Factor for free - and we strongly encourage everyone to enable this. Here is how.

Remember 1965? 58 years ago? The first official government report on #globalwarming for US president Lyndon B. Johnson? 1/2

Hi 🙂 Most of the seeds that I have got are from OpenSourceGardens - but I also bought some directly from breeders.
There are several ways to get seeds. We at
@opensourcegardens used to send out starter kits. OpenSourceGardens is a kind of group of people who like to support OpenSourceSeeds. So you could contact us to get some seeds - another way is to get in touch with the breeders. And there are also other growers or resellers.
Here you can find more information:

swearing about satellites
Oh god I redid the math on re-entries:
Each Starlink v2 sat weighs 1250kg. They plan to have 42,000 of them in orbit.
Each satellite has a planned lifetime of 5 years. That means they'll be de-orbiting and replacing ALL of them every 5 years.
That comes to 23 sats per day, which is 29 TONS OF SATELLITE every day.
It doesn't go away, it gets added to the upper atmosphere. Most of the mass is aluminum. What the hell is that going to do?
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS OK?!
Indeed, I would have hoped all those protesters would have been more vocal on these issues.l

Agreed, however you can't even indict a former president for inciting insurrection and other crimes.

Do you like Mastodon's default user interface? Why? Why not?
Boosts for reach appreciated.
That looks like the actor who plays Kahn in Star Trek
Given the huge turnout of followers of Greta Thunberg at the COp26 thing in Scotland last year, why is there not a huge outrage about this disaster, this possible funding and the fact the Oil giants knew about climate change 40 years ago.

I called the #NewYorkTimes and cancelled my subscription this morning--I have a #nonbinary child. I told the very nice lady I spoke to why I was cancelling, and asked her to pass on to management that they were putting kids like mine in danger. She said she would pass that along, then offered me the editorial department's phone number so that I could also call them and let them know why I'd cancelled.
I did indeed call & leave a message. The number is 212-556-3652.
