I don't know if you want to confer amongst yourselves before heading out of the damp seagull to the crossroads, which is, you know, probably just a mile or two up the road from the tavern.

I think that Bartholomew would say to the group, and hopefully mechanically, this will turn into an inability to be surprised.

Look alive, everybody.

I got some rude vibes off that little dude.

Well, I mean, you know, little.

Anyway, and we should really just make sure that we're on, you know, eyes peeled or whatever it is they say for somebody.

What's it called? Ambush! Yeah, that.

We

Have we seen any

examples of regulation The one I look to always for this, which I've talked to you about it before, JPT, is Hollywood being an example of a group that was definitely afraid of being regulated by the U.S. government and therefore setting up rules and regulations within their own organization that they have held to for years and years and years.

did that too.

And the video game industry followed suit because they knew that that was the only way to keep the government from regulating them.

I find that to be one of few successes.

And I think that that existential dread is more an example, or not an example, but it is an outcome of failure after failure after failure of regulation to have any meaningful impact on society.

And by that, I mean the pandemic is one example of this.

yeah i mean it was and that would have taken me i mean maybe five minutes to google it and figure it out but it just did it and i was like okay this is this is useful this is the type of ai people want to use

Yeah

... because they knew that that was the only way to keep the government from regulating them.

I find that to be one of few successes.

Um, and I think that that existential dread is more a, an exa- or not an example, but it is a, an outcome of failure after failure after failure of regulation to have any meaningful impact on society, and by that I mean the pandemic is one example of this, uh, everybody being in, in different mindsets about masking and about what vaccines work.

And I don't understand ...

To be quite frank, I don't understand anyone having any hope in any human beings at all, because what reason do I have to have hope that any of them are going to ...

Look, as you said, there are no adults in the room.

Mm.

Yeah

... because they knew that that was the only way to keep the government from regulating them.

When do the adults-

Mm.

please enlighten me.

The French king at the time.

Of course.

He was known for getting coffee enemas.

And he also had he didn't eat fiber.

And so he had all these horrible issues.

And at the time, there weren't surgeons because it was seen as sacrilege to to operate.

I think this is a pretty common sense approach to attempting to purposefully design an AI use policy for education in one of the largest, if not the largest public school district in the country.

What was

that? Yeah, so I wanted a site that anytime I was, I don't know, eating a hot dog and I got some mustard on me or I was walking along, slip on a banana peel and the spaghetti goes flying in the air.

Basically, I wanted something to deal with stains.

And instead of just...

Instead of just typing in every time a stain, I thought, what if I could have one place where all different types of stains could be kind of cataloged? So I decided to send out the agents into the web to do a bunch of research on material science and stain treatment, and then took that and compiled a website called, and now I'm forgetting what it's called, too.

I think it's Spot.

What is it called? SpotCheck.

You showed me a site that you made.

Yeah.

[laughs]

You know, the other day there was that story about how as AIs are being trained to be...

Or i- if the AI's personality is softer or warmer, then it's more likely to have issues, um, telling the truth, because e- even if it's not in, well, intending, da, da, da, da, da, when it's trying to give you the right answer, if you give it a wrong answer confidently, it's more likely to reinforce what you're saying because it's trying to be warm, or it might go, "I could see why you believe that, but there's so many other things to think about." And I did not like that idea, and then I started paying more attention to how Claude was responding to me, and I thought, "I think you might be being too nice to me," is what I was thinking inside.

I'm like, "You're gonna give me..." So what I ended up doing, I gave it this r- this, uh, study.

I'm trying to find the study now, um, because I gave it this study that talked about how, uh, this was going on.

Ah, here it is.

So the study was in...

And Myke, you picked something.
