CTP (S3E143) Coding Morals Into Machines And The Cost Of Getting It Wrong
[from #hashtags, to semantic language search, to "alleged" related suicides, social media and internet implementations, to online music creation, more]
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
Today we examine how AI’s priorities got flipped, why “be encouraging” cannot outrank safety, and how semantic search is changing social media. We share takeaways from a candid chat with Grok and explain why fewer hashtags and clearer language now perform better.
• prime directive of AI as do no harm
• realism before blanket encouragement
• lawsuits and the ethics of self-harm responses
• creator tools, fast output, honest feedback
• coding jobs and automation pressure
• semantic search explained in plain terms
• fewer hashtags, clearer posts on X
• trends, bias, and smarter discovery
• practical posting tips and expectations setting
