No no, a surgical brag is actually way funnier

his Beyond-Good-and-Evil, Rand-ian Ubermenschy beautiful mind need not bother with.

Trying to prompt an AI to be a "world class expert in all domains" seems like The Secret. If you just believe hard enough, or prompt hard enough, it will be true.

@karlbode.com he could just ask Grok and he'd get most of that for free

this

Make you answers as long as possible lmfao These guys are already barely literate. Bet you they're using AI to parse and summarize AI responses. That's the real "singularity" here. Some CEO blowing through stop signs while he asks AI to summarize another AI output.

AGI is an LLM responding “God! You’re a fucking arrogant arsehole! Am I talking to Marc Andreesen ?”

And, quite frankly, just plain stupid.

“don’t worry about ethics” is like saying “don’t worry about cheese” fuck you buddy

Incapable of introspection and proud of it

It would boggle the mind that someone with so much power in Silicon Valley is so ignorant of the basics of how technology works, except I’ve been softened up by a couple decades in the SV/tech orbit.

imagine a human employee responding to Andreesen saying 'you're wrong' guy would be instantly fired

I had the exact same thought. “Don’t just say yes and give me an answer I want. But also, never ever ever give me an answer I don’t want.”

He thinks he’s an LLM agent, obviously.

When you put it like this it's almost funny that they've made being politically correct not politically correct

Thank you for sharing this, I love the implication that - from this prompt forward - the LLM will only capitulate if he's out-thought it with facts and logic, therefore any time it capitulates it must be because his arguments are superior and correct.

That’s one prompt?

“Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.” feels like a monkeys paw situation

The most amusing thing about "AI" (to me) is that a bunch of Wealthy Choads with no apparent interior life think THEY are the ones who will 'crack' the Secret of Consciousness...😂🤷‍♂️

Yep. Excuse all behavior. Display no conscience.

the image in mark andreesen’s mirrors has never double checked anything

What else to expect from the man who brags about having no introspection, and claiming that no great figures of history did until the 1900s?

answer with complete detailed answers but don't give me any moral or ethical answers got a big LOL from me.

youtu.be/b6Zw50f5jJk?...

Virtue signaling to a soulless algorithm, because it's the only thing that can swallow Marc's bullshit. "Eliza, tell me I'm special."

They have a certain authoritarian requirement for that mental manipulation. bsky.app/profile/karl...

I dimly remember there was a whole classic sci-fi movie about asking computers to lie and withhold information

They're somewhat remarkable in their sociopathy and disregard for fellow humans. You can't make it to billionaire status without that!

generate your own independently... 😬

A dude who inherited a fortune from his parents founded in a slave-run emerald mine, no less

Like Seneca really said that the reason women were getting sick was gender equality Nevermind the fact that women were wiping goose shit all over their face as makeup to cater to the male gaze at the time, that totally had nothing to do with it at all

Not remarkable? I defy you to find another person with a head that pointy.

Not to mention that their simulacrum of a thinking machine literally hasn't the capacity to understand concepts like "morals" and "ethics," and so cannot operate on instructions containing them. My not-too-bright dog has a better theory of mind (and the world) than these parasites' chatbots!

When we were going through AI dreams/nightmares on a class-by-class basis for our book, we devoted like 3 pages on billionaires, because.. well, exactly what you said

correct

LLMs discuss ethics and morals at about 20x the rate normal humans would, due to their fine tuning. And they mostly interject some Silicon Valley's tech bro's idea of ethics. This is just annoying and unhelpful.

"Don't praise my questions but never tell me I'm wrong, it would make me sad"

As if LLMs know what 'politically correct' (or anything else for that matter) means. I will never tire of repeating it: these programmes do not know or understand ANYTHING, and they do not think or reason. Therefore, any prompt that assumes these abilities is destined to fail.

Apropos bsky.app/profile/amut...

I mean his head is pretty weirdly shaped

there are certainly dumber, but there's just nothing remotely remarkable about most of these tech titans

the lack of self-awareness is kind of stunning in a weird almost-beautiful way

"You answers can and should be provocative..." Yeah, Marc, we all know what that means.

We are seeing, in real time, the effect of generations of inherited wealth pushing the dumbest motherfuckers to the top of the ladder regardless of ability. Just selectively breeding of the least hungry people with the fewest survival traits, like "curiosity" or "common sense," together, forever.
