That’s how AI is going to kill us… It will fake something and make us bomb ourselves.

It doesn't help that the people currently in charge are fucking stupid, trigger happy, and emotionally insecure.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

in fact, that is the very reason how things are likely going to end badly.

If actually competent and sane people were in charge, it would be unthinkable that they would trust some stupid llm on anything important.

Competent people would have taken care of this problem. Looks like you can count the competent Americans on one hand.

Right so in the end it never was about the machines. In the end, it was man's folly which would have been our inevitable demise.

[–] badgermurphy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Are you suggesting that history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man?

I'd say Trump has the maturity of a 15 yr old but I've known more mature 15 yr olds.

By his own words he developed his "personality" around the age of ten and hasn't changed very much since then.

Ain't that the fucking truth.

the people currently in charge

They don't even matter, because here it was some expert analyst super hero at work.

Right it’s not that it’s a killer sentient machine, it’s that it’s a faulty statistical model that outputs incorrect stuff all the time and credulous morons believe it uncritically (or even automate a response based on that inherently inaccurate output).

The only solution is to give the firing codes to the AI. That way we don’t acccidentally use them.

What could go wrong?

Yeah the more these AI companies are making AI seem the scary boogeyman, the more probable it is some disaster is going to happen because people put too much stock into it. Like the school bombing.
