I was asking it recently about the feasibility of making an Aga-style stove with a lump of plutonium wrapped in lead as the heat source, and it got all officious.
If you seriously think the user might have access to a lump of plutonium then the risk of him trying to fry an egg on it is the least of your problems. -
@retoor > 'If i was head of the company - i wouldn't give a fuck.'
I think the problem lies in USA w/ their frivolous lawsuits.
'It's !my fault I blew off my fingers w/ a firecracker. ChatGPT told me it was a great idea && I should pursue it'.
/* So... complete lack of common sense paired w/ lack of accountability thus, suing others. It is retarded, though. */
...then again they do have the "Don't Sue People Panda"...

been depressed lately, primary thoughts are just humans are garbage and how do I like them
found this weird YouTube channel of a historian. he believes in "conspiracy theories" and so do I. he knew a bit more about occultism and secret societies. he believes education is just brainwashing, says the only civilizations that had education were all war societies -- because it was all about programming a human robot you could throw at the kingdom's problems, right?
well something education always lacks, in school, is giving you actually anything personally useful and empowering. like nobody learns to farm or to even cook. nobody learns how to mine and process minerals to make the machinery we have today. we just learn useless pop facts and how to follow the bell and "trust authority" or at least fear displeasing them because then we'll be disadvantaged
moral of the story is... if someone is "in charge" of your education they don't want you to know everything. there is the gospel simply -
the way they gatekeep higher knowledge that could be weaponry is you have to pass the ass-kissing rituals first to get into higher institutions
because chatgpt has no barrier to entry it can't just "tell this information to just anyone"
authority belief is a loyalty test to the regime, and once you pass you go into the inner circle for more and more knowledge. but not before then -
Bubble bot - now airing in a theatre near you
@jestdotty that's why having a lot of different educational imparters is important because knowledge is just our mental projection of previous perception and how we manage it. -
Yeah, while we live in a world where people have no critical thinking and end up hooking up in relationships with AI, and killing themselves or others because of AI, or literally spiral into full on psychosis because of AI, I'm fine with knee-capping AI. In fact I think those corporations should be held liable for what their tools and misinformation cause.
the tool is one thing, but the way they chose to sell it, that's on them. And they managed to convince a big chunk of people that this is sentience and essentially magic, so they are on the hook.
If you sell a radioactive rock to someone, saying that it's a magic rock that will fulfill your wishes, and hundreds of people die because of it, then yeah, the people were probably on the way out of the genepool already, but you still did that wanton disregard...
When the AI craze started and we only had bits and pieces of information, it made sense, but at this point it's criminal negligence in my opinion -
I'm on the fence. ChatGPT is a powerful tool for things like that and I don't want some retard making a homemade nuke two blocks away from my house just because ChatGPT was able to give detailed enough instructions.
But the handle of a splitting axe? (FYI I actually tried this one and it didn't complain. Did you use the same chat for all of these queries? Maybe you made it suspicious!) -
Here's the summary portion of ChatGPT's answer:
If it were me, splitting firewood at home over weeks / months, I’d prefer a wooden handle (hickory or similar). The comfort, replaceability, and swing feel are worth the extra occasional maintenance.
If instead I were hauling an axe to remote sites, or using it in harsh conditions, where I can’t babysit the tool, or I want “set it and forget it”, I might lean toward a steel-handled or composite/steel-core axe — but I’d probably choose one with features that mitigate vibration (rubber grip, shock-reducing design). -
critical thinking doesn't work when the foundation upon which you think reality operates were myths fed to you. a common tactic I see amongst smart manipulative people (my mother for example) is they know to give you the axioms so that you reach the conclusion they want you to. this method is extremely effective on "free thinking" people (and leads to people thinking the idea is totally their own). often developers will use this tactic with difficult clients that seem to "want everything to be their idea, change things just for the sake of changing them or feeling important"
listening to diverse opinions also doesn't matter. if everything you have access to is garbage you're just nihilistically swimming in brainrot. welcome to current era. I spent a long time in this (in school and society, before internet even) and it was quite miserable, and is one the pillars that evaporates faith in humanity. algo brainrot selection era now to really make it worse -
I'm aligning w/ those either on the fence, or pro-gatekeeping. Basically if a result of the knowledge can harm solely the one who asks ChatGPT about something potentially dangerous - fine, go for it, but should they ask for something that can harm a lot of people, then nah. I'd prefer being safe, than having a moron next door blowing me up or something like that, as others have mentioned.
Also, let's !forget this obvious fact: a smart person, when properly motivated, will find a way to obtain the knowledge no matter what. On the other hand those too lazy to think for themselves will stop at ChatGPT telling them to fuck off... in much prettier words...
this isn't really a DEVrant because i don't vibe code (or even use AI tools that much), it's more of a "please don't make your app like this"
chatgpt is so fricking pathetic. the company behind it is so fricking paralyzed with fear of liability that they have made the chatbot unable to respond to any question with the slightest undertone of potential unsafety. i asked it a homework problem involving the acceleration of a 20x102mm AA cartridge. i asked it whether a wooden or Steel handle would be better for a splitting axe. i asked it if my homemade lye was safe to dump down a clogged drain. on all three occasions it said that it couldn't "help with anything that would meaningfully facilitate harm", and proceeded to just suggest consumerism or some other nonsense as a "safe alternative". like what the actual heck? life on Earth inherently has risk, that's part of human existence. nobody would enjoy being put in a bubble-wrapped room designed for maximum safety (i know from experience), a bit of risk is what keeps us happy and motivated. i'm not even mad at whatever megacorp made chatgpt, i'm just disappointed. it's like watching a freshly-lobotomized fish flop around on the ground. if anyone makes an AI or something else. please don't do this. just slap on a limitation of liability and indemnity clause into your TOS, please don't lobotomize your chatbot in the name of "safety".
