That's so cute    Baby is all grown up!

AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

Boy you have to be some kind of idiotic to look at the current day United States and think "yes...we want that."

Have they looked at our national debt? Our giant AI bubble? Are they looking forward to having ICE rampaging through Edmonton? Are they eager for us to loot all their shit and leave them with nothing?

Ah well. Welcome suckers!

I better get my plane ticket and hotel stay paid for by the Feds in Calgary right before the referendum.

It is humans discussing on Reddit. AI uses Reddit to learn. It's regurgitating what it's learned.

Yeah.



There was Backroom a few months ago but that didn't get any attention. Actually this is LLM's in their essence I'd say. Simulating redditors.

Why would somebody make this? Humans already have enough weird reddits. We don't need to spend billions to make artificial ones.

I'm not sure if the AI agents didn't sort of, created this themselves, while researchers wanted to observe their behavior.

They decided to emulate humans.

There is one interesting convo about the use of memory, comparing their stored memories to human memory and how to access them faster, debating pros and cons.

It's fascinating, I could almost think it's humans discussing on Reddit.

Meh. 
Dems also closed the ranks on Bill Clinton and tried as much as they could to destroy a certain Monica Lewinsky.  It went way beyond "this is something that happened between two consenting adults".  Dems voted for Dems, no matter what he did because he was a Democrat President.

When did the Democrats try "as much as they could to destroy a certain Monica Lewinsky?" She wasn't cooperating with the investigation, so clearly they were not trying to "destroy" her lest she change her tune. After the investigation, there would have been no motive to "destroy" her.

Creating false equivalencies to score rhetorical points is what I hate in politicians and social media posters.

If James throws out his sister, will Ely plot revenge?

Thanks,

This is the bit I was thinking about

OpenAI is looking to raise up to $100 billion in funding, valuing it at about $830 billion, Reuters ‌has previously reported.

I hadn't heard that Nvidia was getting cold feet about their commitment. So it looks like OpenAI is actively seeking others to step in. Although it could also be that Nvidia is getting cold feet because they grew concerned that further funding was being pursued, and so their equity position was going to be diluted.

Who really knows with so much money sloshing around.

An update from Nvidia

They're saying they will invest in OpenAI, but they're not saying they will invest 100 billion$, contrary to what was said last fall.

Did they even get to keep the passport colour they wanted?
