Also, Musk would’ve been much better off commissioning someone to make the image he wanted rather than grabbing a screencap Aicon openly said he was not allowed to use

Well, Musk is famously great at taking a no as an answer.

That’s not how it works now but it’s a weird assertion to make about an unknown new generation of AI.

Your quote is about LLMs, not "an unknown new generation of AI". Research on LLMs dates back at least to 1990s, they're neither new nor unknown.

What Strawberry apparently is, is a machine that reasons, which is NOT similar to what Open-AI ever claimed ChatGPT ever was.

Sammy boi claimed waaay wilder things than just "it reasons" about his grift so gtfo, this is some incredibly disingenuous apologetics for OpenAI.

Also, "apparently" is such a load-bearing word there.

A fantastic day for capitalism!

Welcome to the Aperture Science AI Welfare Debate Week! [confetti]

Are you a self-proclaimed smart person? Do you need to share your shower -- [sarcastically] thoughts -- with the world? Do you struggle to make friends with other non-robotic entities? Our facilities are an ideal place for an -- [pause] exceptional -- member of society as yourself.

In our open and legally nonliable environment you will be able to discuss and share all of your ideas, fears, delusions, and otherwise intrusive thoughts with a wide range of AI cores, objects, turrets, failed experiments, and/or garbage compactors. Here you can freely throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. (Please do not actually throw spaghetti at our walls. The portal-conductive surfaces emit deadly neurotoxin when in contact with tomato sauce. I always wondered who designed them that way. Oh well.).

What you are basing this “it clearly cannot” on?

I asked Gemini and it told me that ChatGPT can't do shit, I'm not gonna question it.

I'm not sure what you even mean by "how is it different", but for starters a human can actually get a good mark at the bar and spicy autocomplete clearly cannot.

This is what speaking truth to power is supposed to be. EZ tearing the facade of modern tech is a service to everyone, including people inside the tech industry.

The only gripe I have with this article is that I'm not convinced why the metric of "we want people to query more on Google" should be concerning to me. That just sounds like "we want more people to use our product more", which is a completely reasonable metric for any business, no? In the Better Offline podcast he even says "this sounds paranoid of me but no, Google officially said this" and I'm like... ye, sure? Why would that be scary? If the metric was "userads per minute" or something then ye, that'd be Facebook level fuckery, but...

None of this tomfoolery would matter if it weren’t for the tech billionaires.

This is going to be the subheading in future history books talking about the XXI century.

Why is this article written from a third-person perspective?

26 March, 2024 — Tether Operations Limited (Tether), the largest company in the cryptocurrency industry, announced a strategic expansion of its AI focus,

Bitch, YOU are Tether! I'm reading this on tether.to! Who you think you foolin' mate?

Okay, let's see...

first paragraph: Unfolding as some cosmic story, the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have given rise to large language models (LLMs) with unprecedented accuracy, fluency and utility. It's almost as if there's a cognitive big bang exploding into our human universe.

Nope, no, nonono, you're full of shit and I refuse to read the rest. Good day sir. I said good day!
