Yes these models apply their knowledge non-deterministically. We need to be aware and ready to handle their 'behaviours' doesn't mean they are not useful - I feel like ant-AI advocates are rushing to find issues

It reminds me of the early internet days and everyone making a big deal about the anonymity of internet forurms and safety.. sure it is an isssue


Do you not think it's an issue when the name of a country is replaced with a fully different country name as a result of the AI output? The problem is manifest. It's right there. You can see it, can't you?

The most recent episode of John Oliver has a user getting instructions on making a bomb, and AI advising teenagers not to talk to their parents about suicidal thoughts.

I know you aren’t denying issues exist, but companies aren’t handling the issues (their PR around it is disturbing) and regulation is too far behind.


Great writer, in this age of AI writing, we must not forgot the power of a human voice and the wonderful subtlety of intention and purpose.

also, sad that he died at 46 of tuberculosis, what a waste.


Creativity is a very big part of design, these Gen AI tools allow for stepping through a lot of variations and creative ideas very quickly, even creating working artifacts and protoypes on the fly and iterating rapidly

This speed and variation wins for me. But yes without a designers eye laziness can get lost in slop design too..

To me the value of Gen Ai is an accelerant (not slop factory) for ideation and solutions not a replacement of the human owning the process.. but laziness ususally wins



For pete's sake stop with the thinkpeices already.. its only been an week and the model isnt even out yet!!!!!

OMG this generation - we can't separete the outrage from reality anymore.

Meanwhile 3000 people have died arbitrarily in Iran War -while we navel gaze.


Human race is indeed fascinating. We kill millions of cows for food while doing the following in the same breath.

A bronze sculpture unveiled in March 2026 in Almaty, Kazakhstan (near the Europe/Asia border region), honors strangers who formed a human chain to save a dog from the Sayran Reservoir in 2016. The statue, located along the canal embankment, symbolizes unity and collective action after the 2016 viral rescue.


this whole timeline feels like a Bad Cyberpunk novel, Trump, Musk etc


Yes see Karl Frisstons Free energy principle

Its funny that author posted a very cool use of AI to help filter/organize and OCR hard to read text about a large photoset and built a great way to visualize his ongoing project with a lot of innovation and cool output..

But the majority of the commnents (including the top comment) on this thread are about how bad AI Images are and how bad AI is in general, how it is altering history etc -when the author didn't even do any of that in his post

It shows the mindset of the community these days more so than the technology.


As bad as altman might be he’s just another sociopathic Tech Bro

I’m far more concerned with the 25 million dollar personal bribe OpenAI president Greg Brockman gave Donald Trump for his reelection -

the fact that a tech company can influence the outcome of an election directly is evil

Far more evil than Altmans shenanigans


Exactly. In fact I'd say that everything that is said about Altman is a misdirection from that one point.

People want to focus on scape goats rather than systemic problems


It depends on the team (ie stupid ideas can def sidetrack you) your working with but the principles of Improv carry over generally to creativity- if someone suggests something go with it and see where it takes you - never say No

It takes some wisdom
