Bizarre NYT headline on this HF case — "OpenAI Says Its A.I. Models Went Rogue and Attacked a Digital Library"
This season of Silo — I find I don't care at all about the historical backstory of how this happened; it's too easily imaginable that a bunch of dumb assholes in power fucked up the world and made underground slave cultures with drugs and AI
Hah I rec’d a good recent AI based novel in my media recs nl post and gained a new sub (the author) 😄. Anyway, Your Behavior Will Be Monitored by Justin Feinstein is a fine 10-minutes from now AI read.
