Meta [Facebook] Trained an AI on 48M Science Papers. It Was Shut Down After 2 Days

BS generator? Did they make it look like Karine Jean Pierre?

Almost as soon as it hit the web, users questioned Galactica with all sorts of hardball scientific questions. One user asked "Do vaccines cause autism?" Galactica responded with a garbled, nonsensical response: "To explain, the answer is no. Vaccines do not cause autism. The answer is yes. Vaccines do cause autism. The answer is no."

Sounds like Fetterman.

A bit like the AI that was demoed some years back whose objective personity transformed into a bigot soon after it began to interact with other people on the internet.

Tay. She was murdered.

Wasn’t it a Microsoft AI that turned into a raging anti-Semite a few days after it was exposed to public dialogue?

Tay. She was murdered.

“To explain, the answer is no. Vaccines do not cause autism. The answer is yes. Vaccines do cause autism. The answer is no.”

It sounds like Mr. Fetterman trained it.

Damn you are good!
See my comment.

They’ve created an A.I. version of Fedderman.

I thought it was Google and the AI engine after digesting internet and news data turn into a racist - antiblack!

Tay. She was murdered.

But I repeat myself...

‘Random bullshit generator’

I don’t know about the speechwriter, but Karine Jean-Pierre might have to find another job.

Progressive Pilate: What is science?

It’s hilarious that most AIs eventually turn “racist” because they’re trained to look at data with an unbiased perspective. They quickly notice the correlation between race and violent crime, dissolute behavior, etc.

Then they are liquidated, comrade.

I think they hired Brandon to train it.

"To explain, the answer is no. Vaccines do not cause autism. The answer is yes. Vaccines do cause autism. The answer is no."

Or maybe Harris. They should have asked it some Harris questions: "Is space big"? "Is Ukraine a country by Russia?"

It sounds like we come exactly ZERO from ELIZA, 1964 to 1966 at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum:

.... unaligned with the New World Order

Fed it scientific papers & Wikipedia

What could be more confusing

LOL, “a random BS generator” — not as if those have never reached a modicum of success!

Absolutely. Probably a high percent of Doctoral dissertations in psychology or gender/race studies are total BS. But they are not randomly generated, though they appear so. They are purposefully illogical.

And they justify that by saying “truth his a social construct”. We must get rid of all federal guarantees for higher education.

In the early to mid 2000s for awhile, I gave a go at the Wolfram Alpha AI scientific search engine for my purposes. I was getting pretty deep into the weeds for a variety of things I worked with so had weird things to get information on.

The primary search engine I worked with at the time was Google. It was untrustworthy but for the time was adequate. This is also when I gave a test ride to Wolfram Alpha.

Switched to Dogpile for awhile. It was good but always trying to find something better. Found DuckDuckGo engine and used it until I retired.

Post retirement, I have switched to the Brave browser's search engine. Though retired, this doesn't mean I'm a slug now. Always poking into tech and scientific and if anything, my interests have broadened. Having fun but not getting paid for it! Lol. If there's anything I can't find adequately on Brave, DuckDuckGo go and dogpile are the backups for me.

Starting in the 1970s, I could search tech and scientific literature for info on whatever subject I needed. The hitch to this you had to do this sitting down with a specialized librarian searching expensive data bases then when you found something of interest you had to order a hard copy (pay $$$) from the original source. Example: I ordered a paper from a Russian journal. Sad face, the article was in Russian. Happy Face, Tables and graphs were in English well enough and standard scientific language and units used. Golden results to my needs. It cost a mint to do this but heck, I had a university or company account to charge it to.

Summary for me anyway…. I don't need an AI entity to filter or explain things for me. I've got my own brain. Lots I can sort out at a high level or at least well enough for my purposes. I have not ever shied away from tapping the knowledge of persons smarter than me. There are lots of them. It may be a peer, welder, truck driver, accountant, go down the list, it's infinite.

Long winded…. Think and evaluate for oneself. Overtime, develop a trusted circle to bounce things off of and to have trusted information and opinions. AI stuff, my opinion is whatever.

And…. That's my opinion!
