Ok so in arabic it’s exactly how this guy wants it

reminded me of this

text of image/tweet@amasad. Apr 22

Silicon Valley will rediscover Islam:

  • fasting for clarity and focus
  • mindfulness 5 times a day
  • no alcohol that ruins the soul & body
  • long-term faithful relationships for a fulfilling happy family life
  • effective altruism by giving zakat directly to the poor

Gonna take a wild guess that enough people have tried this joke to the point where they've added custom code or lines in the system prompt about it:

prompt and outpoo

Text conversation that keeps happening with coworker:

Saw this, was going to post this a literal minute before you did but stared into this abyss a little too long.

Here's what the abyss revealed:

  • Guy is fucking stupid
  • Guy is fucking stupid, hence the AI use
  • Guy is fucking stupid, AI accidentally his whole database and he is still an AI glazer

Can't wait to see this guy just use a different but same tool to delete his shit again, and learn nothing

Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there's plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:

  • Holiday internationally
  • Abseil
  • Practice close up magic/sleight of hand
  • Go bouldering
  • Exist with the overarching threat of a widespread pandemic
  • Get married in a hospital chapel
  • Disavow a US three letter agency
  • Move to london

the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative

hey, props to the author for writing all that. This is my version:

So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT

Unfortunately, you are stupid beyond remedy. If you can read this, I pity you.

Tangential: I’ve heard that there are 3D printer people that print junk and sell them. This would not be much of a problem if they didn’t pollute the spaces they operate in. The example I’ve heard of is artist alleys at conventions- a 3D printer person will set up a stall and sell plastic models of dragons or pokemon or whatever. Everything is terrible!

 

Followup to part 1, which now has a transcript!

As is tradition, I am posting this link without having listened to it. (too many podcasts)

 

Just a lil tidbit of news of some web3 based company going away.

 

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

 

Not sure how much needs to be said here. Sometimes I come back to a tab with a.s open and refresh, then get logged out. I’m using chrome on iOS but this might be reproducible on other browser/platform combinations.
