BREAKING (FAKE AI NEWS): "Iran strikes Tel Aviv"

Iran is attacking Israel in retaliation for Hamas attacking Israel

Straight up reads like it was generated by a regular old Markov chain.

Iran is attacking Israel who is the one who owns the function of the founders important to me to be a proper country and a little bit of a spiritual successor to me to be a proper country and a little bit of a spiritual successor to those people

- Your phone's predictive text is wild
Oh good old times.

Wait it both made up the event and backdated it???
Total retcon of reality

Excited for the day this gets cited uncritically in Wikipedia.
- Westoid college history text books be like:
“Israeli” historians out of a job

every year is dumber than the year before it and I was wondering how we were going to maintain that growth, like surely there's only so much pure stupidity to go around? we have to be bumping up against the limits, right? scraping the stupid out of metaphorical tar sands and deep-water wells

oh me of little faith. innovation™ has brought us artificial stupidity and now there are no barriers, we're going to get dumber faster than mankind has ever before dreamed possible

A sample size of one is way to small to be actually useful but I've always thought that the solution to the Fermi paradox ("Where is everybody?") is that intelligent life eventually fucks itself and its civilization decays or is destroyed.
Fermi paradox
The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now."
Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi's name is associated with the paradox because of a casual conversation in the summer of 1950 with fellow physicists Edward Teller, Herbert York, and Emil Konopinski. While walking to lunch, the men discussed recent UFO reports and the possibility of faster-than-light travel. The conversation moved on to other topics, until during lunch Fermi blurted out, "But where is everybody?" (although the exact quote is uncertain).
There have been many attempts to resolve the Fermi paradox, such as suggesting that intelligent extraterrestrial beings are extremely rare, that the lifetime of such civilizations is short, or that they exist but (for various reasons) humans see no evidence.
- yeah I think it's plausible that no naturally evolved species can stably industrialize. tech grows faster than brains, and hydrocarbon energy doesn't come back when it's gone.
People talk about things being idiot proof but they make better idiots every day
Hopefully this leads to a falling rate of stupidity, where it becomes more resource intensive to produce greater stupidity and this results in a major destruction of stupidity.

Looking into it?

🤔 heavy missiles = ballistic vaccines ??
- oh shit iran has hypersonic vaccines don't they??

We're going to live out the backstory of Terminator for the dumbest reasons conceivable.

I can't wait to hear Joe Biden insist he saw the mushroom cloud where Iran bombed Tel Aviv, while signing the "Let's Nuke Iran" Act of 2024.

Where would they find 1200 civilians in Tel Aviv?

Are there any elementary schools there

Holy shit see Elon this is why the OpenAI version of ChatGPT has the guard rails on it so that they don't accidentally do something like this and create a bunch of liability for themselves.

And risk an international incident
he just wanted to draw the ire away from Tesla

AI was a mistake this shit will get us fucking killed istg

Dying in a nuclear armageddon because some rocks that we tricked into thinking hallucinated an incoming nuke.
- Historically we did come pretty close because a satellite monitoring computer mistook sunlight reflecting off a cloud for an ICBM launch, so really this isn't even our first rodeo.

99 Luftballons but its 99 fake ai tweets instead

CIA atrocity propagandists the first to lose their jobs to AI?

Grok's woke

Fake news, sure, but AI generated fake news? That's new. Now they can publish thousands of fake news stories every day without any human being getting involved in the process, and these AI news generators look at existing news and information spreading around the internet to make their stories, which means, as things continue, we might start to see the media become completely incoherent gibberish that bears no resemblance to reality!
...Oh wait, I get your point now.
