Show HN: Doom or Bloom, map your AI worldview(doom-or-bloom.com) Map your AI worldview by answering a few questions, and see how you compare with others. only takes a few minutes && free & open source && private by default && powered by Jev I think this is a really important question for everyone to be asking themselves, and my hope is that this lil project helps to move our conversations around AI futures in a more balanced, productive direction. |
thanks for your feedback; if you publish your results, i'll look into it and try to figure out where things went wrong
No thanks? Also why do you even need a login?
but i wanted a way for people to publish their results to share w/ others
that being said, i agree, the simulated personas could be better flagged
appreciate the feedback
Human choices can make limited changes, but dominant forces constrain the outcome.
that's why it's so important to show the sources used to derive these positions. like https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/why-my-pdoom-has-risen-dra...
if you find any particularly egregious results, they're likely due to not having good enough public sources for that user's viewpoints. def let me know and i'll try to improve them
thanks
edit: I would be curious to see how I'd changed over time as well. I would guess I was much more worried a year ago
Perhaps step outside this foolish dichotomy and consider whether LLMs are being vastly oversold as tools (no AI is not all LLMs and it's foolish to conflate the two). They can be useful in certain domains, they can be a useful crutch in helping humans think. Jumping from there to they will turn us all to grey goo or trigger a fucking renaissance is just unthinking acceptance of what you've been told by marketers and flimflam merchants like Altman and Musk selling you a dream.
The only doom LLMs could bring, which we're already seeing, is the enshittification of our shared spaces; infesting them with a simulacrum of thought and creativity, dumbing us all down till we think advertising copy is good writing and sloppy, shiny, happy images are the only kind of art we need.
It's not an open question, it's a very closed one which severely restricts the possible futures considered.
2. by expected bias, i meant that your answer didn't seem to actually look past the name at the actual content of the project or else you would've realized there are plenty of people modeled on here who share similar views as your own
3. i agree this type of knee-jerk reaction to the name & featured framing is reasonable. always tradeoffs when trying to get an idea to catch hold
