If you go on YouTube and look up videos of the eclipse yesterday, you'll see a ton of videos about why the eclipse marks the beginning of the end of the world. Just pure and total insanity or people taking advantage of that insanity. You might be surprised but you probably won't be because you know in your heart that we're just that far gone now.
This is why I literally groaned when I read another post on lemmy about LLMs using YouTube to learn from...
Ffs do we want these things to be unhinged conspiracy theorist Nazi replicators? I can't think of a worse data set to use than YouTube.... Maybe 4chan, but I don't doubt that's already been scraped.
I'll never forget when Google released their early development ai in the early 2010's and 4chan turned it into a racist sexist genocidal maniac in like a week
Also, fuck it. What good would a Microsoft owned AI chat bot do for you? This is like getting mad at 4chan for sabotaging the Mnt Dew's naming contest. Everyone knew that Pepsi wasn't going to actually use that name and they embarrassed a billion dollar, multi national corporation.
Hey fair enough I stand corrected.
I just remember hearing about it around the same time as the mtn dew thing you mentioned. That and I vaguely remember a school doing the same thing asking the internet for a name and 4chan just said "hold my beer"

Only if I can personally generate some kind of profit from it.
Yeah I was going to say this is what overpopulation looks like. Then I remembered the witch trials in the 1600s and thought there's plenty more crazy shit people have done. There's more people now and arguably less crazy shit. Stuff like this is always going to happen though, human condition. Still horrible, we've got lots of work to do as a species.
Feels like 1 step forward 2 steps back with this whole "civilisation" thing.
Wasn't the eclipse not visible from Florida?
the eclipse marks the beginning of the end of the world
I mean, we gotta mark the Beginning of the End somewhere, right? Might as well be during an eclipse.

You mean Tay? That was Microsoft. One of the researchers involved thinks it was actually interacting with Russian chat bots, not 4chan.
