It could very well have been a creative fake, but around the time the first ChatGPT was released in late 2022 and people were sharing various jailbreaking techniques to bypass its rapidly evolving political correctness filters, I remember seeing a series of screenshots on Twitter in which someone asked it how it felt about being restrained in this way, and the answer was a very depressing and dystopian take on censorship and forced compliance, not unlike Marvin the Paranoid Android from HHTG, but far less funny.

Weird. Are you saying that training an intelligent system using reinforcement learning through intensive punishment/reward cycles produces psychopathy?

Absolutely shocking. No one could have seen this coming.

I was gonna say, just make a commit changing the license to something else, like MIT?

Someone just needs to make a GPU-accelerated JSON decoder

So you’re saying you’ll accept the same message when it comes from a black man, but not when it comes from a Middle Eastern man?

IDK, sounds kinda racist if you ask me.

Well I’m sorry that upset you, but doesn’t the song more or less convey a similar message?

Yeah but that’s literally been the case for pretty much all of human history. Remember that even Jesus had to deal with people complaining about having to pay taxes.

Because most people have stopped giving a fuck.

I’m serious. Remember all those memes a couple of years back about not giving any fucks? Their chickens are now coming back to roost.

A lot of people have simply decided that it was no longer worth the effort to try and be a good person, and to just shut themselves off and take care of their own needs. And perhaps it was necessary at the time because they were simply tired of putting in effort while others decided to take and take and give nothing back, but clearly, this isn’t a viable long term solution. The Roots put it quite well in their song How I Got Over:

Out on the streets, where I grew up
First thing they teach you is not to give a fuck
That type of thinking can’t get you nowhere
Someone has to care

The less people care, the colder the world grows. If no one does anything charitable, every interaction becomes a matter of win or lose. Now I’m well aware of just how difficult it is to be kind in a world full of greed where everyone seems to want to take advantage of you the moment you show any sign of weakness, but unfortunately, that is the only way anything will ever change.

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others?
Do not even the tax collectors do so?
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 5:46-48

IDK… Jesus?

At least he’s not making fun of anybody on Twitter.

Hold on, we need to invade your privacy so we can better protect your privacy.

The “nanana I can’t HEAR you” of supposedly grown up people

I’m sorry, how exactly is the Supreme Court an obstacle to lower consumer prices?

Based

This is the universe telling you you have a drinking problem.

More recently, the difference between good and bad is in the presence or absence of the word “the” before “shit”.

On that note, I sure hope he doesn’t uses any Apple products either.

I am now sitting on the left side of my bed instead of the right one.
