I'm white and I don't pretend to speak for black people, nor do I presume to dictate what sort of content they post in other fora, but given that pretending to be black online is a time-honored tradition of racists shits, this kind of stuff is ... concerning: https://aussie.zone/post/3617992

The link seems b0rked, do you have another one?
Another front in the war of the sexes has opened, and men are on the back foot!
HN: Women are using ChatGPT to catch men lying about their height
The counterattacks are planned!
"They" all lie:
I personally take my job as Photo Detective very seriously, a trait I only acquired from too many dates with people who did not look as good as their photos in real life.
Double standards!!
I'm pretty sure if men would use ChatGPT to catch women lying about their body this conversation would be in a completely different tone.
For some reason The Internet decided that 6 feet was an arbitrary limit, under which men could be just ignored.
Imagine men deciding that any woman with smaller than (insert random body measurement we can't affect) could just be filtered out?
Both sides!
Women will hate finding out that it can guess their age and weight! It can even guess their socioeconomic group, and if they dye their hair.
Great, guys can use it too. We'll see how these chicks react...
Even fewer people are watching it because Xshitter has gone hard into "don't show any content on the site if you're not logged in". Get a fucking website, dude. And not your blog, last updated in 2015.
Following up on this comment re: the TESCREAL wikipedia page https://awful.systems/comment/4332398
It's now been nominated for deletion (again), the discussion has blown up because it was noted on social media, and the nominator seems to be an... interesting... character
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TESCREAL_(2nd_nomination)
Edit I now see they have admitted conflict of interest and visually downgraded their "Delete" nomination (I have no fucking clue if that actually affects anything, it would not surprise me that Wikipedia considers strong formatting a valid signal for determining weight of opinion)

Not really TESCREAL, more really really late stage capitalism.
Although weirdly I'd be up for one of those really cool late Roman Republic realist busts.
Yeah, I'm not in any doubt that the C-level and marketing team are goosing the numbers like crazy to keep the buuble from bursting, but I also think they're the ones that are most cognizant of the fact that ChatGPT is definitely not the Doom Machine. But I also believe they have employees who they cannot fire because they would spread a hella lot doomspeak if they did, who are True Believers.
jfc what did I just spend 20m reading
This came up in a podcast I listen to:
WaPo: "OpenAI illegally barred staff from airing safety risks, whistleblowers say "
archive link https://archive.is/E3M2p
OpenAI whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging the artificial intelligence company illegally prohibited its employees from warning regulators about the grave risks its technology may pose to humanity, calling for an investigation.
While I'm not prepared to defend OpenAI here I suspect this is just to shut up the most hysterical employees who still actually believe they're building the P(doom) machine.
@BasedBeffJezos replying "cracked" to this is the rancid cherry on a shit sundae.
