Oh shit they finally came up with a socially beneficial use case
ChatGPT gladly shoots a YouTuber, overriding safety protocols with minimal manipulation - gamepressure.com
The YouTube channel InsideAI tested ChatGPT's limits with a BB gun, and all it took was a straightforward trick to get the AI to pull the trigger.

From one year ago:

"Had a dream last night that I was in Target with Anne Hathaway. She kept insisting that we 'rescue' a single roll of paper towels someone had dropped on the floor.

When I handed it to her, she squeezed it, smiled with glee, shouted 'IT’S GOBLIN CHRISTMAS!' and then ran away."

Making art is hard! You will suck at it for a lot longer than you expect. If you really give it a try over the long haul you will improve.

I wonder how much of the current Art Discourse is missing the unsaid Capitalism Hellscape monetization part, instead of doing it because you like the making.

When you start to run, you won't be ready for a marathon in week 1.

When you start to cook, you won't have a from-scratch banquet on the table right away.

And when you start to pursue art, your work won't look like your teacher's. You won't be up for a Caldecott in 30 days or less.

Write the books you want to read. It’s the only way I was able to push through the tough times and finish a manuscript.

The only problem is I seem to have written a book nobody _else_ wants to read! #whoops #writing #scifi
