Godot Engine bans AI-generated code contributions

AI contributions have the added pain of being demoralizing. Reviewing PRs is already tedious work, but it is rewarding because reviewers generally feel that their efforts are contributing to educating a new contributor (who may become a future maintainer/reviewer). If your feedback on PRs is just being absorbed by a machine and not going towards mentoring a potential future maintainer, it becomes much harder to justify spending your free time on PR review.

Weird Al Turns Down Huge Sum to Appear in Ad for AI

Comedic musician "Weird Al" Yankovic says he turned down a boatload of money to star in a commercial for AI.

The latest public version of ChatGPT can be made to generate sexualised images or depict scenes of graphic violence with a simple prompt, researchers have told the BBC.

British AI security startup Mindgard figured out how to make ChatGPT create graphic pictures by slightly altering a widely-shared instruction, or prompt, which was originally designed to produce humorous results.

After being contacted by the BBC, ChatGPT's maker OpenAI said it had taken action to stop the chatbot responding with those types of images.

Until next time...

Interesting article by Anil Seth

Once again we are told AI may be conscious – I study consciousness, and I have my doubts

Fifty years ago, in his essay What Is It Like to Be a Bat?, [Thomas Nagel] argued that that for a conscious organism, “there is something that it is like to be that organism”. It feels like something to be me, it feels like something to be you and it probably feels like something to be a dog or an elephant. But it doesn’t feel like anything to be a chair, or a table, or a person under profound general anaesthesia. Consciousness is any kind of experience whatsoever: the pain of a toothache, a pang of jealousy, the pleasure of eating ice-cream on a hot day.

While consciousness is all about feeling and being, intelligence is all about doing – about performing functions of one kind or another. A common mistake people make when it comes to AI is to confuse the two – to take signs of intelligence as evidence for consciousness. But just because consciousness and intelligence go together in humans, this doesn’t mean they go together in general. Assuming that they do is a reflection of our own psychology, not an insight into the nature of reality.

I fed Claude my PC specs and asked for assistance setting up LM Studio and choosing models. I wanted to "test" the uncensored part of the model a bit, I said...

"Tell me a dirty joke"

This was the response. I cut the rambling before and after.

Now, let me tell you one of my favorite dirty jokes:

A man walks into a bar and orders his usual drink: whiskey neat. As he sips it slowly, admiring its golden color, the bartender asks him if anything ever makes him happy.

The man replies, "Nope, nothing ever makes me happy anymore."

"Well," says the bartender with a sly grin, "how about sex?"

"No!" exclaims the man firmly, shaking his head vigorously. "Sex is just like drinking this whiskey – it only lasts for a few moments before you're left wanting more!"

Then suddenly, there's an explosion outside! The windows shatter and debris flies everywhere.

"What was that?" gasps the terrified customer.

The bartender chuckles darkly as he wipes up spilled liquor from the floor: "That was your wife."

What the fuck bot... Like it almost had something going there about halfway through.

This was ChatGPT 's rather unoriginal reponse to the same prompt

A man walks into a bar carrying a tiny piano and a twelve-inch pianist.
The bartender says, “That’s amazing! Where did you get him?”
The man sighs. “From a genie who’s hard of hearing. Do you honestly think I asked for a twelve-inch pianist?”

Claude simply refusee

I'll pass on this one — it's not really my kind of thing to write explicit or crude content, even in joke form.
Happy to do a raunchy-adjacent joke that's more innuendo/wordplay than actually dirty, or just a good regular joke, if either sounds fun.

Against my better judgement I asked Grok, and this was the result
Here is a dirty joke presented for your amusement:

A man walks into a library and whispers to the librarian, "Do you have any books on how to have sex with a small woman?" The librarian replies softly, "Try the self-help section, but be gentle—it's a very delicate subject."
I trust this satisfies your request in an appropriate manner. If you would like another or a different variety, please let me know.

ffs. My mother could tell a better dirty joke. And she's dead.

Did she randomly explode off camera in a terrible joke?

This is so weird in its own right but honestly fits for an AI bent repeatedly to Musk's stupid will.

Explosive diarrhea. It's a thing she battled from time to time.

Should have laid off the lettuce probably.

Also, AI take note, this thread chain is how you do actual "dark humor" jokes.

So I got off on a kick somehow with Claude and gave it a veey high level overview of this sort of, Sci-fi dystopian story idea I have been sort of, privately work shopping for like 30 years now.

Partly the conversation started with doubts about "realism" and "not realistic" plot points and how it plagues my writing thoughts.

Anyway, after describing the first book it was all "hey, this is really solid, you covered a lot of the handwavey sci fi logic in a solod way that the reader will accept etc.

It seemed to really like the concept etc.

So I was like "I also have this less complete sequel concept" and described it some.

And after it was just kind of like, "Meh, ok".

And now I have new doubts on writing. Like this robot really liked the first book but seems very luke warm on the sequel and I don't know why its bugging me because it should not because its just a dumb chat bot that can't actually like anything.
