How many wiretaps do you have in your home?
People in the 80’s: Some day an AI will take over the world.
People today: YO CHAT GPT, Write a song about hamsters robbing a bank!(Verse 1) In the underground, where the tunnels run deep, There’s a crew of hamsters, they don’t get no sleep. With their tiny masks and their paws so sly, They’re plottin’ a heist, gonna reach for the sky.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They’re rollin’ on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain’t no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper’s perfect.
(Verse 2) They scoped out the bank, made a plan so cool, Hamster in the getaway car, he’s the wheelman, no fool. The vault’s their target, full of sunflower seeds, These rodents mean business, fulfillin’ their needs.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They’re rollin’ on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain’t no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper’s perfect.
(Bridge) They scurry and scamper, through vents they’ll explore, In the dark of the bank, they’re gonna score. With their pockets full of loot, they’ll make their escape, These hamster outlaws, there’s no time to wait.
(Verse 3) But the bank’s alarm starts to ring out so loud, And the security guards, they’re joinin’ the crowd. The hamsters keep movin’, they won’t back down, They’ve come too far now, they’ll own this town.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They’re rollin’ on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain’t no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper’s perfect.
(Outro) In the end, they made it away with the dough, Through tunnels and alleys, they continue to go. Those hamster bandits, the legends they’ll be, In the annals of rodent crime history.
Wow, phonk
For some reason I read it with that agressive shouting gangster rap voice and it was awsome. Tho chat gpt mostly pumps out mid content. Just reminds you how important is the creative factor that often lack in these generative contents.
I doubt that was chat gpt. It has cinsistent meter and rhyming. It was a human
Chat GPT is good at rhyme and meter. That’s actually what makes it easy to tell - its poetry has too much rhyme.
It also rhymes words that have similar alphabetical structure, but poor phonetic similarity.
Like suspect and perfect.
They do rhyme though, at least in my accent

When ChatGPT was newer I saw a lot of posts about raps made by it, there were always this same flow. I tried to get it to make decent rhymes, but it cannot get out of the most cheesy typical rhyme scheme possible. This was 3.5, maybe 4 or other models are better. I found I could make interesting lines if I said something like “write a paragraph with as many words that rhyme with ‘taken’ as possible”, and then you could do that with a few rhymes and twist those around to make an interesting verse.
If you give it a different form to follow (iambic pentameter, sonnet, etc.) it kind of works. I’ve only tested it with poetry. I’ve gotten responses technically comparable to a human, but even eliminating the “nonsense” words it throws in, it still has no artistic soul… The closest I’ve gotten to art was specifying “in the style of Edgar Allan Poe”, but it was only good because it copied a few of his poems verbatim…
That’s true about ‘in the style of’, I did get some interesting responses when I said in the style of Allen Ginsberg, but it would just rip lines straight from him at times. As someone who enjoys creative writing I don’t see a necessarily beneficial use for AI to be extremely capable at creating poetry haha but I am interested in the mechanics of it and how it could be improved.
And then people misread and thought they were in danger of voting for a gore AI.
edit: added snowden videos.
We carry devices that have multiple mics/GPS/video with the possibility of recording us at any time.
Our phones are the main way I think we are tracked.

This seems relevant as well
Thank you for the video!
Edward Snowden is a little fucking creep. Anyone taking serious security advice from him is just as crazy as he is.
Is that a “random person on the Internet” take or something substantiated?
I think you could intuit the answer here
Creep? What a strange word to use…
“The government are spying on us without our consent. The people need to know about this”
You think the “creep” in that scenario is Edward?
He’s a far right asshole that released the documents for e-clout.
Would you mind elaborating? I don’t know anything about this.
Maga much?
You little fucking creep, I will not pm you feet pics.
He’s a weirdo with bad ideas, but he’s not wrong when it comes to our privacy being constantly violated.
this gonna be an unpopular take, but your mobile phone is worse for privacy than an Alexa or Google Home. And most people’s PCs are worse than their phones.
I would say Alexa is actually much worse because there’s already been instances where Amazon gave the info up to law enforcement. PCs and phone manufacturers might’ve also but I think it would be less than a dedicated microphone in your house.
for my original point, I’d say that an Alexa is a single point of access for giving your info to law enforcement, whereas a phone has multiple (ie each app and website) and pcs have more software and less stringent access policies (ie less likely to have facial recognition or fingerprint recognition as the barrier to access) and you can just open the case and take out the hard drive much easier.
Both Alexa and phones have to be listening to everything to be able to answer when you call them. Considering that data is sent over to Google/Amazon, it isn’t much different.
But phones have a dedicated microphone and location tracking service built in. If there is a software vulnerability (there is always a software vulnerability) then it can be remotely turned on and monitored.
There are even instances of this happening to targets of governments: journalists and activists, especially. That Israeli company specializes in it and sells access to anyone who is willing to pay.
so do laptops, and most pcs will have a webcam and mic attached.
Yep, thanks to Edward Snowden, we’ve know NSA has been able to turn these on without us knowing (without the red light) for a long time now.
Idk why you’re downvoting the guy WetBeardHairs is right. Pegasus spyware has been a serious threat and was created by a nation state hacking group in Israel called NSO group.
This is why I do the best I can and use GrapheneOS, but there could always be some security vulnerability deep in Android itself. If you’re looking for true privacy and security, a burner or something with removable components would be best.
How are PCs worse than phones?
Sticking with “the average pc” and “the average phone” — I’d say there are more vectors of vulnerability in the wide arrange of sites and programs the average person interacts with on their PC than there is on a phone, as well as a PC being a better target to compromise than someone’s phone.
Happy to be proved wrong but I rarely hear about someone’s phone being randomwared, botnetted, remote accessed etc
Oh yeah, true.
I was thinking about it more as phones have multiple cameras and microphones, are constantly with us, and are usually full of spyware apps.
More vulnerable, probably yes. Phones are very locked down and secured (unless you root or install custom firmware).
But, they are still worse for privacy due to how they’re used. The phone (and thus Google and Apple and Facebook and others) has access to your location all the time - your computer doesn’t. The computer is only vulnerable when on - the phone is always on.
The threats are different and from different sources. Random hackers mining shitcoins on your computer, big companies knowing what you’re doing when you carry your phone.
tbf the avg person anymore probably uses 1 either exclusively for work or 2 rarely even uses one
I mean “average person” can mean a lot of different things, but the plurality of any given person in the world owns both.
I think the average person doesn’t even use a PC that much.
Well it depends whether active usage is a vector in how secure a device is. If security is exposure to risk / frequency of use, you are correct, same with exposure to risk / percent of global ownership (66% smart phone, 50% personal computer), but if we’re talking about any given device with an even chance it’s a pc or smartphone, I’m willing to bet (although I don’t have proof) that any given smartphone is slightly more secure.
So, since I shouldn’t ask a wiretap for things, do you guys have a recipe for pancakes?
deleted by creator
Yeah, use the mix. /s but also kinda not since the box mix is dang good
Well the one at the bottom give recipe for pancakes! Take all my secrets!
i hope ur joking
Talking to my phone is just awkward, the exception is watching something on YouTube, then pausing and going “Siri, how much is 69 fahrenheit in celsius?” to an iPad behind me.
