I have a lot of trust in ChatGPT's ability to make things worse even if they're already bad.

Look at me, I'm a philantropist! I non-bindingly pledge to probably promise that if possible and convenient, I can be considered to essentially intend to effectively donate up to half of my arguable net worth to a cause one might consider charitable.
Oh and a legal defence fund for unfairly maligned non-sex offender friends of Jeffrey Epstein counts as a charity, by the way.
Ah yes, "real" musicians turned their nose up at digital music.
Now let me tell you about how making music on a computer doesn't involve years of practice to become proficient. Using a digital audio workstation is basically the same as typing "club banger in the style of Avicii, billboard hot 100, high quality, big boobs, crisp production, lots of bass, danceable" in a prompt box.
I am buying it. I don't think @corbin@awful.systems is pro AI art, just that countermeasures like Glaze and Nightshade are not great either, and I agree.
Artists don’t care about this or need it to be.
I care about it. Some artists use Debian. Please don't shit on people who care about software freedom, even if you don't.
Making artwork unusable by exploitative machine learning models is cool and based, but using a proprietary tool that's itself made by from the same pool of exploited artists' work is less so.
I think that's roughly the idea, except replace "desk" with "penis".
They've gone from math pets to math woodland creatures now?
So if you read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, and thought...
I did read HPOMR and I also thought!
"You know, HPMOR is pretty good
OK, I didn't exactly think that. But go on.
so far as it goes; but Harry is much too cautious and doesn't have nearly enough manic momentum,
Dunno about Harry, but the story as a whole could have done with some momentum, manic or otherwise.
his rationality lectures aren't long enough, and all of his personal relationships are way way way too healthy."
Nobody in their right mind would ever think any of this.
OTOH "mediocre dunces" is an amazing phrase and I will continue to refer to TREACLES as such.
Sorry Jamie, but I can imagine any AI company to be pretty damn bad, so in this case they're not really worse than that.
[TODO (left in intentionally because I don't have time to fill in these details): Put more motivation / justification here: Bowling Alone stats, stats about religion making people happier, some reference about religion making people believe untrue things. Friendships formed by repeated random bumping into people, thus regular events important]
The fuck is this? Why are you publishing an article if you don't have the time to write an article, asshole? Who's enforcing a deadline for posting this drivel on less wrong dot com?
If these things are so superfluous they can be dropped from the article, drop them. At least take the few minutes to rewrite that into something like "I haven't had the time to look deeper into XYZ, maybe someone taking this more seriously should actually do that."
Yea but you (rightly) consider every act that doesn't put your creation as the highest priority a crime.
