I forsee a lot of psychopaths in the future. Kids are going to grow up with LLMs and learn to manipulate them as just objects. They may not draw a distinction between other people and AI and just act extremely manipulative with no sense of conscience toward actual consciousness.

Keep in mind it may not strictly be content posting, but also vote manipulation. If you have a message you want to push, you can just upvote favorable messages to try to make whatever agenda seem a lot bigger than it really is.

Nah, cancellation resources are always minimal. Doesn’t make sense to pay for serious hardware to please people on their way out the door. Every service I’ve ever had to cancel has always been a maze and generally more annoying, slow, and cumbersome than the signup process.

Not always. School shootings happen and suddenly crickets on gun control. “Think of the children” only applies to moral outrage, not tangible physical threat prevention. Also applies to school lunches and any other actual tangible thing to ACTUALLY benefit general child welfare.

Well, yeah- but what if they could sell the problem AND the solution?

Do I want my face in ads? No. Not at all.

Would I want this same tech used to character swap myself into movies, or just swap actors in whatever? …okay yeah that might be kinda fun novelty.

I’ve tried one that works surprisingly well. Each sentence had great pacing, cadence, and correct enunciation- even had tone right when someone was shouting or angry or sad.

I wouldn’t really recommend it, though. While I couldn’t pick any single thing out that was wrong, overall it just didn’t quite flow. It’s like watching someone try to act that is technically doing everything right, but it just isn’t good. It basically didn’t understand the greater context of the story and was saying lines.

It was uncanny valley, but exclusively with voice.

In person socialization? Is that like VR chat?

I think it’s a legal issue, honestly. When printers first came out there was a fear that people would just print money and other illegal things, so printer firmware had to print out security identifiers on everything in yellow ink so it can be traceable. That’s also why yellow ink always goes out first, and why it complains about yellow ink when trying to only print black and white.

If that’s law, then it could be illegal to use firmware that does not have these features, and anyone making fimware that ‘just prints’ may be held liable.

Thus is all just an educated guess though, but seems plausible.
