Oooh your chatbot is becoming sentient and may pose a threat to humanity? Should we throw a party? Should we invite all your most gullible investors?

I donât know how many times Iâve watched this video. I donât know how weâve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while theyâre watching children. But I do know that this isnât sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

This needs to be shared more widely. It's on Facebook, which AFAIK doesn't allow direct links to its posts. Terry clearly wants it to be shared, so I don't feel bad about posting it in multiple screenshots. Terry Wallace was the director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Here is a column that purports to tackle the ethical questions around using LLMs in screenwriting without addressing the fact that these LLMs consist of work stolen from other writers. (Also, if you let ChatGPT write your drafts, youâre a hack, sorry.)
