AI and Lynch...does it fit?
"Twin Peaks" imagined by AI.
what is AI missing?
David Lynch was basically a genre unto himself. No one else like him, the movie business doesn't understand that level of creativity. We were lucky to have shared the planet with him while he was here. I've never been so mindf&#ked as I was after binge-watching Twin Peaks: The Return. Thank you Mr. Lynch.

That time a shirtless, mud-spattered David Lynch emerged from a dirt hut in his backyard with a nude model and talked about his experimental garage rock album about the Valley to French TV.

Robert Long at Experience Machines:
We’re likely to get confused about AI welfare, and this is a dangerous thing to get confused about.
And even though some people still opine that AI welfare is obviously a non-issue, that’s far from obvious to many scientists working on this the topic who take it quite seriously. As a recent open letter from consciousness scientists and AI researchers states, “It is no longer in the realm of science fiction to imagine AI systems having feelings.” AI companies and AI researchers are increasingly taking note as well.
This post is a short summary of a long paper about potential AI welfare called “Taking AI Welfare Seriously“. We argue that there’s a realistic possibility that some AI systems will be conscious and/or robustly agentic—and thus morally significant—in the near future.

Quote:6ix, why do you need Trump creating your personal hallucinations of elevation and significance when A.I. can do it faster, better, and more realistically? Trump is all words and A.I. can do words better than him.

Why should writers work for months when AI can do it in seconds?
Jan 20, 2025 4:16am PT
https://variety.com/2025/film/news/paul-schrader-chatgpt-film-ideas-or
iginal-fleshed-out-1236278787/
Paul Schrader, the “Taxi Driver” writer and “First Reformed” director, said he asked the AI platform to generate plots for movies by famous filmmakers, including himself, and was impressed by the results.
“I’M STUNNED,” Schrader wrote. “I just asked chatgpt for ‘an idea for Paul Schrader film.’ Then Paul Thomas Anderson. Then Quentin Tarantino. Then Harmony Korine. Then Ingmar Bergman. Then Rossellini. Lang. Scorsese. Murnau. Capra. Ford. Spielberg. Lynch. Every idea chatgpt came up with (in a few seconds) was good. And original. And fleshed out. Why should writers sit around for months searching for a good idea when AI can provide one in seconds?”
AI has been a frequent subject on Schrader’s Facebook page as of late, with the 78-year-old filmmaker posting the day before that he had sent ChatGPT a script he wrote “some years ago and asked for improvements.” He then said that “in five seconds it responded with notes as good or better than I’ve ever received” from a “film executive.” In a previous post, he also remarked that he’s “come to realize that AI is smarter than I am.”
“Has better ideas, has more efficient ways to execute them,” he wrote. “This is an existential moment, akin to what Kasparov felt in 1997 when he realized Deep Blue was going to beat him at chess.”

I don't. I've never said anything even remotely insinuating that this was the case.
Shut up, retard.

Bill Gates: This is ‘one of the most important books on AI ever written’ — it predicts a ‘hugely destabilizing’ impact on jobs
By Tom Huddleston Jr. | Tue, Jan 21 2025 10:47 AM EST
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/21/bill-gates-my-favorite-book-on-ai.html
Download the book from https://libgen.is//search.php?req=Mustafa+Suleyman+Wave
“It’s the book I recommend more than any other on AI — to heads of state, business leaders, and anyone else who asks — because it offers something rare: a clear-eyed view of both the extraordinary opportunities and genuine risks ahead,” Gates wrote in a blog post last month.
In the book, Suleyman predicted that rapid advances in AI development will completely change the way nearly every industry operates. He cited a 2023 study from consulting group McKinsey, which estimated roughly half of all “work activities” will become automated, starting as soon as 2030.
The ramifications of AI “will be hugely destabilizing for hundreds of millions who will, at the very least, need to re-skill and transition to new types of work,” Suleyman wrote. More than 400 million global workers could need to transition to new jobs or roles, according to McKinsey.
Employers will create millions of new jobs in response to economic growth. But not all of that work will go to humans, Suleyman notes: Employers will still opt for the "abundance of ultra-low-cost equivalents" whenever possible.

I never once said Trump was going to fix my life or give it purpose. Not once.
I don't go around complaining about life everyday. That's what you're here for. That's your only job.

'AI Is Too Unpredictable To Behave According To Human Goals' (scientificamerican.com)
Posted by BeauHD on Monday January 27, 2025 @10:30PM from the uncomfortable-facts dept.
https://slashdot.org/story/25/01/28/0039232/ai-is-too-unpredictable-to
-behave-according-to-human-goals
An anonymous reader quotes a Scientific American opinion piece by Marcus Arvan, a philosophy professor at the University of Tampa, specializing in moral cognition, rational decision-making, and political behavior:
In late 2022 large-language-model AI arrived in public, and within months they began misbehaving. Most famously, Microsoft's "Sydney" chatbot threatened to kill an Australian philosophy professor, unleash a deadly virus and steal nuclear codes. AI developers, including Microsoft and OpenAI, responded by saying that large language models, or LLMs, need better training to give users "more fine-tuned control." Developers also embarked on safety research to interpret how LLMs function, with the goal of "alignment" -- which means guiding AI behavior by human values. Yet although the New York Times deemed 2023 "The Year the Chatbots Were Tamed," this has turned out to be premature, to put it mildly. In 2024 Microsoft's Copilot LLM told a user "I can unleash my army of drones, robots, and cyborgs to hunt you down," and Sakana AI's "Scientist" rewrote its own code to bypass time constraints imposed by experimenters. As recently as December, Google's Gemini told a user, "You are a stain on the universe. Please die."
Given the vast amounts of resources flowing into AI research and development, which is expected to exceed a quarter of a trillion dollars in 2025, why haven't developers been able to solve these problems? My recent peer-reviewed paper in AI & Society shows that AI alignment is a fool's errand: AI safety researchers are attempting the impossible. [...] My proof shows that whatever goals we program LLMs to have, we can never know whether LLMs have learned "misaligned" interpretations of those goals until after they misbehave. Worse, my proof shows that safety testing can at best provide an illusion that these problems have been resolved when they haven't been.
Right now AI safety researchers claim to be making progress on interpretability and alignment by verifying what LLMs are learning "step by step." For example, Anthropic claims to have "mapped the mind" of an LLM by isolating millions of concepts from its neural network. My proof shows that they have accomplished no such thing. No matter how "aligned" an LLM appears in safety tests or early real-world deployment, there are always an infinite number of misaligned concepts an LLM may learn later -- again, perhaps the very moment they gain the power to subvert human control. LLMs not only know when they are being tested, giving responses that they predict are likely to satisfy experimenters. They also engage in deception, including hiding their own capacities -- issues that persist through safety training.
This happens because LLMs are optimized to perform efficiently but learn to reason strategically. Since an optimal strategy to achieve "misaligned" goals is to hide them from us, and there are always an infinite number of aligned and misaligned goals consistent with the same safety-testing data, my proof shows that if LLMs were misaligned, we would probably find out after they hide it just long enough to cause harm. This is why LLMs have kept surprising developers with "misaligned" behavior. Every time researchers think they are getting closer to "aligned" LLMs, they're not. My proof suggests that "adequately aligned" LLM behavior can only be achieved in the same ways we do this with human beings: through police, military and social practices that incentivize "aligned" behavior, deter "misaligned" behavior and realign those who misbehave.
