For people that like messing with technology, couldn't writing an AI poisoner software also hit the same dopamine spot?

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Do these people really think themselves autistic because they know enough English to ask Claude to put together a scraper?
Fuckin hell. I'm Autistic, but I'm not like that. Can't claim Autism for being a gobshite.
Dawg that isn't autism, you're just an asshole.
The trait all assholes share isn't their religion, race, gender, sex, neurological status, or social class.
It's that they're fucking assholes.

Us true autistics don't get a thrill from pissing people off or stealing because autists have a strong moral compass.
I'm now pissed about the theft of this art AND this assholes suggestion that autists are to blame.
Pissing people off means thinking about them and thinking about people makes my brain hurt.
Yeah that "speedrunning" shit is not autism. That's just being an asshole. An autistic person would probably know the difference, which I guess is ironic.
People thinking autistic lack empathy because they don't engage in the two faced bullshit social games everyone else does, when actually they have a better sense of morality and ethics and social boundaries and empathy than any of these fuckers ever will.
It is not the tism but I bet you don't stop when they say no
This is a bad person even outside of the Ai context.
"I get a dopamine hit from emotionally disturbing other people"
this is a bad person.
They got a blue check on twitter, is it any wonder they are a trash person?
Leave the autism out of this, AI Bros are narcissists, whether they have autism or not isn't really relevant.

I know artists who are autistic.
Yeah. "Autistic" does not and should not imply "ethically stunted". I am autistic. Of course I am driven to solve problems. The drive to solve any particular problem, however, is greatly reduced when a large group of people whom I consider peers band together and state as loudly as they possibly can that they do not want it to be solved. Anyone who endeavors to solve such a problem anyway should re-evaluate their life choices and consider whether their clearly impressive talents could be put to better use.
Sincerely, an autistic programmer who can't draw for shit but still hates genAI with a passion.

Greta Thunberg is autistic. The person who said "The IDF bombed our flotilla, so we have to try again," and she said it in the most casual tone, like she was talking about running to the store for a loaf of bread.
Autism is a super-power, but like all super-powers, it all depends upon how you choose to use it.
In some respects, yes. A number of autistic adults describe an almost visceral discomfort with dishonesty, favoritism, or bent rules, the kind of thing many neurotypical people shrug off as “just how things work.” That’s not a quirk. It shows up repeatedly in research on moral rigidity and rule adherence in autism.
The pattern seems to trace back to how autistic cognition handles consistency. Where a neurotypical brain might flex a rule depending on who’s involved or what’s socially convenient, an autistic brain is more likely to apply the same standard everywhere, to everyone, every time. This is explored in depth in relation to moral rigidity and its connection to a strong sense of right and wrong often seen in autism.

Came to say this. Leave autism out of this. You can be a narcissist asshole without being autistic. And techbros are just narcissist assholes, autistic or not.

These clankers and AI Glazers tend to have dark personality traits. I am not surprised that they are so callous and cruel towards people just to glaze their latest golden calf (which will fail, as it is so very hated). How very heartless of them, unsurprisingly they have a paid blue check mark on a fascist site.

Even if everybody loved AI, there's no way it could succeed. The more popular it becomes, the more money they lose.
Yeah, nobody would be able to pay the realistic prices required to keep these LLM twats running and profitable. The only one who was ever going to profit was NVIDIA and hardware manufacturers. At least until the next snake oil product is peddled...
It is envy, I suppose.
Part of it to be certain; I notice most of these clankers seem to be mind blind and aren't very creative artistically.
Ai bros, are factually the dumbest people to ever live
New dumbshit bubble dropping in 3... 2...

Won't anyone DDOS these motherfuckers?
I hope the fury of a million meth-fueled fire ants set up a colony in this person's urethra.
thats a good sentance
Just to weigh in here- as an autistic person myself one of the things I love about computers is how predictable and repeatable they are. Yes, I know that bit flipping and memory errors exist, but compared to human brains computers are consistent and beautiful. I largely try to model my own mind on how computers work.
I find AI to be absolutely disgusting for how it violates this. All of the other issues are important but solvable (the economic and social impact, the environmental impact, copyright issues, safety guardrails, etc). Like, I dont expect any of then to be fully solved but I could imagine a world where they are mostly solved. They are technical and legal challenges. Renewable energy infrastructure, universal basic income, reverting copyright law to pre-Disney levels, and a bit of responsible stewardship could do wonders (though I dont expect any of that to actually happen). The core concept of making computers less certain is not solvable, but a fundamental aspect of the design that I find abhorrent.
Oh my god, this. I thought I was the only one.
The despair I feel when I hear imprecise, natural-language English described as the only viable future of my profession, precisely because it is going to allow people who are not analytically minded to become professional programmers, is difficult to properly describe.
Finally someone who says it
I never got the point of asking an unreliable non deterministic model to write code for you when programming languages are literally right there, they almost always do exactly what you write
And there's plenty of deterministic ways to do code assistance too
I like it when they don't consent.
Somebody is bitter my goodness
