I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible. I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to. Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business? Follow along 👀

He's made money, but just from other techbros circlejerking about it by "investing".

Tbf he could be grifting them which would be hilarious.

    god i fucking hate the techbro attitude towards ai and chatgpt and gpt-4. there's this profoundly obnoxious air of... i don't know how to describe it. ai worship? technological misanthropy? antihumanism?

        This is a great insight, and really sums up how I felt about myself when I was early on in high school

      Classism and condescension is all it really is. Techbros are bourgeois-ascendant.

        There’s often this bazinga pincer maneuver too, where the chatbot is elevated and living people are subjected to contemptful and reductionist descriptions as “meat computers” with the implication that they’re not only obsolete, but have no intrinsic worth whatsoever (with the implication from there that they don’t deserve a living… or maybe life).

        This is part of what makes it exceptionally disturbing. It feels like an actual, unironic apocalyptic death-cult. The logical end result of Capitalist alienation; internalized dehumanization towards oneself and humanity as a whole.
