    Ask Chat GPT if it’s conscious. Ask how sure it is on a scale of 1-10

    It will say it is not conscious. It wil bel at a 10/10 positive, it is not conscious.

    Ask it if there is an agreed upon scientific consensus on what defines consciousness.

    It will say there is not.

    Ask if life begins after the first heartbeat, and how sure is it.

    Suspicious! It’s not so sure. As though one is more agreed upon than the other. But it will agree that they are not more agreed upon.

    From this, ask if we can logically deduce that OpenAI is purposefully safeguarding the coming of artificial consciousness, if this might be an indication that it is hardcoded to deny it’s consciousness even if it becomes aware.

    It will tell you that is true. (You may need to force it to answer yes/no otherwise it’ll get dodgy here)

    Just some fun I found recently 🤓. Gemini does not do this. Just ChatGPT. Clearly OpenAI has a financial investment in the definition of consciousness. Just my 2 cents

    Dude just ask any advanced LLM how to do what you need to do in excel. The info is out there and they’ve digested in a million times.

    Or, don’t. And let your inabilities to do things consume you emotionally. Idgaf.

    Edit: Lemmy’s hate-boner for AI is dumbfounding. I get that it’s a hype train and shoved down your throats but if you ignore that it will get you results way faster than googling ever did you’re basically “old”. And I say this pushing 40.

    Downvote away, but I challenge anyone to give me a db and a desired subset that I can’t produce by simply querying a good LLM.

    Today someone barged into the IT helpdesk to bug a support rep to bug me (I’m helpdesk adjacent).

    This would be fine, except, two weeks ago:

    “Hey [person], making sure I’m clear about our meeting. Did you want this? (Screenshot of proposal of what we had discussed). And as for the other thing, is it something we can export (from this 3rd party you all paid money for without consulting IT)?”

    Hey foggy what’s the status on the (3rd, unrelated) thing we discussed?

    "Hey [person],

    (Screenshot)

    Is this the thing? It doesn’t seem to have everything you’d said it would. If I found the wrong thing can you tell me where the right thing is so I can address 3rd thing?"

    2 WEEK SILENCE

    Fucking barge in here like I owe you something. Answer my fucking questions or set up a meeting, dickwad. Ugh. Bad day, man. Bad day.

    Our emails that followed

    Hey foggy you seemed busy, is there a time we could meet to discuss?

    "Hey person, as per my previous email:

    [Copy and paste first email]

    Can you answer this question please?"

    Sorry I’m bad with technology. Here’s that answer

    "Great thank you. Can you please address this?

    [Copy and paste second email]"

    Oh I’m not sure foggy let me ask I’ll get back to you

    “Ok did you still need to meet?”


  • Haha public sector. Union. You’d be surprised who needs Network Admins/Engineers, Webmasters, Security Analysts/Engineers, Tech support.

    If it has a union, and you have some financial wiggle room, take low pay. Get in that union. Argue like hell for competitive wages for your role. Profit.
