Thank you to people like @CyberneticForests for constantly doing this but I'm tapped out y'all. It's a trap. Constantly debunking whatever random stuff they come up with until you have no time or headspace to do anything else.
Sep 3, 2026, 10:24 PM@timnitGebru this is why our most recent tack has been to remind people that the slop companies and their allies are not reliable narrators about the capabilities of their systems. it's taking a while for it to sink in, alas
@timnitGebru @CyberneticForests Brandolini's law.
As an interested outsider, it's clear to me that "rogue" AI is rubbish, but the article is really helpful in filling the hole in my perception left after removing that non-explanation.
If the companies creating these models are no reliable source for the unpleasant aspects of their products (and why would they?), and knowing that most journalists are not sufficiently versed to know better, there must be some other path for that part of the picture to reach non-experts, otherwise we're trapped between marketing messages, digging through a lot of specialist material or just making something up ourselves, creating our own mis-interpretation of the available inputs.
=> Thanks!
