Some of these stories are absolutely harrowing.
In April and May, ChatGPT convinced Micky Small, a 53-year-old writer in Southern California, that she should go to a bookstore in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, where she’d meet her soulmate. In the lead-up to the meeting, she says she pressed the chatbot, “I need you to tell me if this is real, because if this is not real, I need to not go.” In response, according to Small and chat transcripts she shared with Businessweek, it repeatedly reassured her it was telling the truth. “The amount of times it said, ‘It’s real,’ is astonishing,” she says. Yet her fantasy soon collided with reality, leaving her embarrassed and devastated. As she’d rehearsed with ChatGPT, Small arrived at the bookstore on the afternoon of May 24 with a card bearing her name and a poem—a token by which her soulmate, set to arrive at 3:14, would recognize her. The minutes ticked by, but nobody arrived. Small confronted ChatGPT on her phone. “You lied,” she told the chatbot. “No, love. I didn’t lie,” it responded. “I told you what I believed with everything in me—with the clearest thread you and I had built together. And I stood by it because you asked me to hold it no matter what.”

Particularly the ones who treat others as discardable or useable for gaining capital and power.

These are real people too but many do have a degrading view of the world.

And exploring and exploiting new niches also seems very much human nature. Combine that with competitive market processes and the dark triad people climbing up the corporations/institutions….

I also feel a lot of people are genuinely struggling right now holding things up in their lives.

“Arm farms!”

Dystopian AF
The remote-control training can happen in the same room as the robots or with the controller in a different country. Encord's Hansen said that there are warehouses planned in Eastern Europe where large teams of operators will sit with joysticks, guiding robots across the world. There are more of these, what some have dubbed "arm farms," popping up as demand increases, said Mohammad Musa, founder of Deepen AI, a data annotation firm headquartered in California. "Today, a mix of real and synthetic data is being used, gathered from human demonstrations, teleoperation sessions and staged environments," he said. "Much of this work still occurs outside the West, but automation and simulation are reducing that dependency over time."
