ChatGPT Will Guess your Age, Flirt if Asked, and Can Call the Cops
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced a set of new ‘protections’ and ‘privileges’ for ChatGPT users, requiring a significant amount of trust from users. From predicting your age based on your chat to calling law enforcement if you are at risk of harm, to allowing non-minors to flirt. But amidst all of these announcements, there are interview snippets you may have missed, as Altman dramatically revises his predictions of AI impact on jobs. Plus a Hassbis backtrack to boot.https://80000hours.org/aiexplainedCalling the Cops: https://openai.com/index/teen-safety-freedom-and-privacy/Age Prediction: https://openai.com/index/building-towards-age-prediction/Not Everyone Will Agree: https://x.com/sama/status/1967955739911364693?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EtweetTheory 1: NYT Lawsuit: https://openai.com/index/response-to-nyt-data-demands/Theory 2: FTC Investigation into AI Companions: https://x.com/AndrewCurran_/status/1966167585994764743YT Does the Same: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/youtube-ai-powered-technology-teen-users/Carlsen Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KmpT-BoVf4vs Senate Testimony (70% Jobs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CWVP8-XVjQHallucinations Paper: https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/d04913be-3f6f-4d2b-b283-ff432ef4aaa5/why-language-models-hallucinate.pdfHassbis Quote 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toShbNUGAyovs Quote 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr3Sh2PKA8Y
