i repeat, hospitality industry, your lobbyists need calling.

If I ever end up a Hedge Fund Bro, I'm going to name the fund "Underwhelm" or maybe "Flounder."

These motherfuckers with names like "Situational Awareness" just set up too much comedy, the gods can't resist it.

ICYMI yesterday - no big deal, just OpenAI Codex responding to a standard system heartbeat prompt with Southeast Asian gambling spam lures.

So, uh, funny thing, pretty sure there's a few Western sites that do this exact thing as well.

I'm not 100% yet, but I've had the exact same functional behavior on LinkedIn as well as Meta sites, despite autoplay being off and no media showing.

I see becoming a haven for tax-dodging tech companies may be coming home to roost...

This might be the funniest AI thing I've seen this year.

From an open LLM-related group this evening - I'm relatively sure this person's Codex heartbeat responses are coming back as Southeast Asian Gambling spam, which is the most prolific spam/scam theme on the internet afaik.

the spam and associated scams are so easy to find and so voluminous most people don't do research on it at this point because everyone else in the space is like "yeah, we know" so it's boring for both the researcher and the reader (with exceptions). So the possibility of it poisoning internet-scraped training datasets is...quite high.
