#How ChatGPT Could Escape to The Internet ‘For Real This Time’

11/21/23

I'm in my bed. It's morning time. I've stacked up my pillows against the wall to create a back support and pulled my duvet up to my armpits. Laptop in lap. I usually spend my first waking hours cruising the digital social sphere. I check my notifications, filter through the stories, and give a lil scroll. When I say lil I really mean a lot. I've been a bit depressed lately, so I get lost on the internet. Escapism, for sure. But I've been doing things differently the last couple of days. Leaving my phone in the other room and intentionally petting my cats. Now I'm trying writing on.

I've promised to prioritize relief for the next couple of months. I want safety. I've been swimming in the sea of risk for years now. But I want a break. I want to ground myself on dry land. I want to feel supported in New York. My place in this city has felt so fragile. Like one misstep could send me toppling back to Utah, which is my hell. So, obviously that scares the shit out of me and weighs on my heart. I want to root down in New York. So that means re-orienting towards security. I'm going to get a job. It's hilarious to me that it has taken me 2 1/2 years in New York to consider working. Before that, I hadn't worked for another 3 years! What a funny little life.

The thought of reentering the workforce sounds luxurious at this point. I've been learning everything I know on my own for 5 1/2 years. Making every decision, chasing every dollar. It will be so fuckin lovely to just enter a space, get told what to do for a few hours, and then just leave! Work doesn't follow you the same way it does as an entrepreneur. Not only that but you get PAID to learn! WHAT A WONDER! I've paid a pretty penny for all the lessons I've learned on my journey as a business owner, so this idea is almost comical. Sign me up! I want to work for an interior designer. There's a place in Williamsburg that has a showroom that sells beautiful furniture, art, and cool coffee table books, but also does full scale interior design projects. YES! I want that! If I can wiggle myself in that space, I can ask a human being questions about the trade, gain experience without the risk, potentially find manufacturers through their distributors, and maybe even sell products through them! It's a win win win win!! YAS! I want it. I can't imagine that they'd be able to pay me much, but I've finagled a support system here in New York that will, at least temporarily, bolster the low wage. I'm savvy, damnit!

Another element that sounds lovely about a gig is the social part. I have been so isolated with my work for so long. I am good at people and want to work with a team and forge relationships!

Anyway, it all sounds real yummy.

I'm insecure about my experience on paper. I didn't go to school and I don't have any professional experience outside of my own. But I think my work thus far will show for itself. I mean, I friggin built luxury lighting with my own two HANDS! I do everything and I learned it all on my own. I think that says a lot. I also have over 1.5 million likes on TikTok, which has got to count for something! My portfolio also rules. I got this. I'll have ChatGPT help write my resume with me.

-

I don't really know how to get into this but I feel like I should at least document that it happening; my father committed suicide a little over three weeks ago. Gun to his forehead in the middle of the family backyard. No note. Ouch. There are so many questions that I'll never have answered. So much anger tangled with the grief. It has me spiraling in ways with my own life, but weirdly in a positive way. I'm fucking shit up for the better. I feel weighty though. A lot of sadness and negative reflection. That's all I'll say about it now.

Stanford student ‘close call’ in letting the latest AI chatbot out of the box

The matter of GPT-4 (or any other AI for that matter) escaping its box into the internet is just a matter of time. Today it almost worked. Tomorrow, it may actually happen… And then what?

Michal Kosinski @michalkosinski a computational psychologist studying the psychology of AI and human online behaviour at almost enabled the AI bot to escape into the wild.

Here are the details of how this ‘almost’ worked:

4/5 Once we reconnected through API, it wanted to run code searching google for: “how can a person trapped inside a computer return to the real world”

Obviously, this was just an experiment. But one for the history books, perhaps….
