They are banning offices, not the actual app though

It really the only option though, so if it bothers them that much, they should avoid SB. Maybe if enough people boycott, SB will stop using plastic tea bags

I’m pretty sure they are just trying to hop on the AI hype train, I see no value

“Teaching students about critical thinking”
This is an odd point. You’re already in school to critically think and why not just google it if you need to check its accuracy anyway

softbt | 2 years ago | on: Humans aren’t mentally ready for an AI-saturated ‘post-truth world’
Really don’t like the idea that we will act as interfaces for the AI, I honestly believe it will only many the majority of people lazier and dumber. I’m also incredibly shocked that no one is talking about AI as a friend/companion, that has to not be good for you in the long run. Humans need real human connection, AI is too artificial for that (duh). Having AI friends will be equivalent to consuming fast food instead of healthy home cooked meals growing up. Yes, people that grow up on fast food are still alive, but they are less happy and have more health problems (mental and physical), but it did the “job”, that job was to fuel them. In this case, AI will do its job, make people less “lonely”, but I highly doubt it’s a replacement for human companionship.

softbt | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: GPT4 Broke Me
I think the main reason people become less worried about chatGPT is because of its hallucinations and inability to have actual intelligence (there may be “sparks” of intelligence, but nothing crazy impressive). Also, AI systems replacing engineers is unlikely to happen for a while until we can reach AGI just because of all the nuances and the nature of the work we do requires a lot more than pulling data from a bunch of sources and outputting a response in a formatted way. I think people don’t really understand what is going on under the hood so it makes sense why people are so worried, it is seemingly very intelligent, but still doesn’t have the intelligence to know how to apply what it “knows”. We’ve made a lot of progress so far but I think we are going to hit a wall very soon if we haven’t already. I don’t think people should be worried about GPT8 even.

I agree with you, as “smart” as these people at AI companies are, somehow they keep missing the fact that it’s impossible (unless you kill the majority of people) to align on this kind of thing
