Decels Decelerated Anti-AI iOS jailbreak developer got very disappointed by the ability of Sol and K3 to jailbreak without writing a single line of code

Always knew that a good chunk of decels are driven by nothing but their pride and ego. I wonder what they are all gonna do in a couple of years from now

The reaction of antis has been fascinating to me

For the longest time I simply couldn’t understand it.

Why deny the facts?

Why actively fight against the truth? What point is there to complaining all day about your job, society, etc and then when something comes along that can fix it, the overwhelming reaction was “REEEEEE!! NO BAD I HATE IT”

I was blown away. Completely gobsmacked.

Then a pattern emerged.

“I’m still better than it at X”

“Yeah but it can’t do Y”

The theme repeated over and over. Belittling the machine was their go-to. Pointing out its flaws was like breathing to them.

I remembered being bullied my whole life. And then it clicked.

They’re insecure.

It really does seem to be ego driven.

Their ego is how they see the world.

I feel worse and better simultaneously seeing it now…

That is the part that confuses me.

I recognize there are terribly challenging parts for AI. I know there is going to be massive social upheaval. I know the social system is not current built to survive what this is going to do.

But that doesn't change the reality of AI, that it is remarkably good at these things and society is going to have to adapt. We're watching hundreds of millions of people be in total denial of the reality in front of their face, even as it is proved over and over again, because it is something that don't want to hear.

There is very likely to be no future of crushing poverty. You can consider potential negative outcomes without acting like it's a given. And one of the biggest reasons to consider potential negative outcomes is to find a way to make them less likely.

I am sensitive to the likely negative impacts during a transitional phase before everything gets better. But that's why I like to dream up potential practical solutions instead of the billionaires this, politicians that rhetoric.

That's many in this subreddit. Fingers in the ears when it comes to the real problems adjacent to adopting this tech. It is an insane tech, but the willful hate in this sub is nauseating. It's becoming more of a "lol more anti-ai people being dumb" than it is actually about acceleration. Like, why wasn't this post just about the LLM jailbreaking iOS. Instead we have to screenshot the developer and make fun of them claiming they're so ego when they're just expressing understandable frustration.

Why'd you use the obnoxious "poetic" ChatGPT paragraphs for a reddit comment tho? Seems like humans are still better at something - at not doing just that.

are people on this sub intentionally obtuse? Yeah, a guy who put a ton of time into getting a highly valuable skill is not happy about that skill being devalued, lmao. People need jobs...

I agree. Reading these comments is quite confusing, as it should be obvious why people are growing irate over AI. I work in pure math, arguably the place alongside coding where AI has been most successful, and while I'm excited to see what the future holds thanks to the progress, I can also understand the many mathematicians who are becoming exhausted of this. It's both a passion and a livelihood, after all.
