Just a big ol’ WTF here…

Forget chatgpt, I’m appalled that he reproduced.

You're telling me that another man wanted him at all? Or did he kinda just get a surrogate?

Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works on 19 Jun 22:59 collapse

He’s married.

I mean why are you surprised, he’s not a bad looking guy and is very successful.

Telorand@reddthat.com on 19 Jun 23:32 next collapse

Calling him successful is technically true, but it kind of glosses over some very pertinent details of his success. He’s a billionaire, and you don’t get to be a billionaire without doing a lot of monstrous things to good people.

The surprise isn’t whether he’s good looking enough to get a partner. The surprise is over the fact that there’s another human being who thinks that those are qualities worth overlooking, especially one who’s queer, since billionaires like Sam Altman support the current regime that’s wholly against LGBTQ+ folks. And that same person with questionable tastes in partners wanted to take care of another human being with Sam Altman.

Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works on 20 Jun 12:13 collapse

Saying someone’s is successful is not a moral judgement or approval of their character. Sam Altman is successful, Elon Musk is successful, all of these billionaires that built companies that have changed the world for better or wrong are all successful. This in no way means that I’m saying they’re good people or even that they are people that should be emulated or any other sort of moral judgement.

Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca on 20 Jun 11:46 collapse

Successful is debatable. There’s no question he is financially successful, but he fails at every metric I personally measure success by: Honesty, integrity, loyalty, and kindness. I’m not saying my metric is the correct one by any means, just that the definnition of success varies across humanity.

Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works on 20 Jun 12:10 collapse

Anything is debatable. I could debate that the sky is not blue of if I wanted to. I’m debating you right now.

He is successful by the metrics in which society measures success and that’s all I meant by that.

Reverendender@sh.itjust.works on 19 Jun 18:12 next collapse

I asked ChatGPT how Sam Altman would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT:

Sam Altman would’ve taken care of his baby the same way the rest of us did before his chatbot existed—by learning, asking, fumbling, caring, and figuring it out like a goddamn human.

Altman’s quote—“I don’t know how I would’ve done that”—feels less like a reflection on parenthood and more like an unintentional glimpse into the kind of disconnection that can happen when you believe your product is the answer to everything.

Of course, he’s not wrong that AI can be useful. But if your first thought when your newborn won’t sleep is to consult ChatGPT, that says more about your priorities than it does about parenthood.

“I mean sure, the baby died, but I really wouldn’t have known what to do at all without chatGPT! At least it gave me the proper procedure to follow after they died. Who knew you needed to make a post to eBay for a sale of used parts? I guess that’s a medical code or something. I should ask ChatGPT!”

This is a good thing, because it’s unlikely ChatGPT would suggest he molest his child as he did to his sister.

SinningStromgald@lemmy.world on 19 Jun 21:43 next collapse

I believe the answer Sam is by being a parent and figuring shit out. Babies do very few things: eat, pee, burp, shit and sleep. If they have done all those things within a reasonable timeframe then it is likely they are hot, cold or otherwise uncomfortable. And some babies just want you to talk to them and hold them. After spending time raising your child you’ll develop a sixth sense for what a cry is for so first you have to spend time with them.

Now, if you are filthy rich you shove the screaming sack of skin into the nearest nanny and GTFO. Later in life you’ll wonder why your relationship is business like at best and transactional at worst with your kid, which you will lament to your therapist about, but still fail to have the self realization that it’s because you were never a parent.

P. S. Please fall out a high rise window or down a very long hard flight of stairs ASAP.

We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.

why not hire nannies, or unless he prefers male ones because hes gay. and since male nannies are probably also wierd to begin with.

insomniac@sh.itjust.works on 20 Jun 13:24 next collapse

I’m not as anti AI as a lot of people here but trusting it with very important things is asking for trouble. It still randomly hallucinates and gives you bad info. Not as often as it used to but still not good enough to trust with your child’s health.

ChatGPT has taken my bread to the next level and helped me diagnose electronics problems way faster than I have figured out on my own, which is awesome. But it has also given me a blueberry muffin recipe with no wet ingredients and calculated bread hydration 10% too low. I can easily imagine a scenario where some tired parent asks it for a Motrin dose for an infant and gets a wildly wrong answer and injures their child.

korazail@lemmy.myserv.one on 20 Jun 17:51 collapse

Like many things, a tool is only as smart as the wielder. There’s still a ton of critical thinking that needs to happen as you do something as simple as bake bread. Using an AI tool to suggest ingredients can be useful from a creative perspective, but should not be assumed accurate at face value. Raisins and Dill? maybe ¯\(ツ)/¯, haven’t tried that one myself.

I like AI, for being able to add detail to things or act as a muse, but it cannot be trusted for anything important. This is why I’m ‘anti-AI’. Too many people (especially in leadership roles) see this tool as a solution for replacing expensive humans with something that ‘does the thinking’; but as we’ve seen elsewhere in this thread, AI CANT THINK. It only suggests items that are statistically likely to be next/near based on its input.

In the Security Operations space, we have a phrase “trust but verify”. For anything AI, I would use 'doubt, then verify" instead. That all said. AI might very well give you a pointer to the place to ask how much motrin an infant should get. Hopefully, that’s your local pediatrician.

Angelusz@lemmy.world on 20 Jun 20:40 collapse

Fairly based. If you verify the output by visiting trusted medical sites, you won’t need a doctor for many things. Learn to do it on your own, become a medic. You have a kid, don’t rely on others for its survival. Only in emergency should a professional be needed.

There, nuance.

shadowDingus@lemmy.zip on 20 Jun 18:45 next collapse

Seeing as ChatGPT was trained on other peoples’ books, articles, etc., it’s not surprising he says that.

Kinda slimy that he probably couldn’t even give sources for his new-found child wisdom. Y’know, because ChatGPT is a glorified corporate piracy machine using stolen data and aggregating it for morons like him to read instead of doing a google search.

Squizzy@lemmy.world on 21 Jun 07:06 collapse

The AI hate is so weird, morons because we dont want to aggregate ourselves? The dangers are huge, the costs are ridiculous, the shareprice is bubbling. Its a heap of shit but your comment is just nonsense.

It is miles better to get aggregated information from multiple sources than read each source yourself. Consumers want convenience.

shadowDingus@lemmy.zip on 25 Jun 21:16 collapse

I don’t believe the idea of aggregating information is bad, moreso the ability to properly vet your sources yourself.

I don’t know what sources an AI chatbot could be pulling from. It could be a lot of sources, or it could be one source. Does it know which sources are reliable? Not really. AI has been infamous for hallucinating even with simple prompts.

Being able to independently check where your info comes from is an important part of stopping the spread of misinfo. AI can’t do that, and, in it’s current state, I wouldn’t want it to try.

Convenience is a rat race of cutting corners. What is convenient isn’t always what is best in the long run.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of new parents are asking LLMs for advice.

And before AI (and probably still), new parents probably googled a lot of things.

And before internet search engines, new parents probably checked out books from libraries.

turtlesareneat@discuss.online on 21 Jun 01:07 next collapse

Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

It’s one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it’s another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.
