Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A debunk of the recent AI doomer pseudoscientific video by Kurzgesagt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujkD4SxPKOI . Yes, it's over 3 hours.

I enjoy Kurzgesagt videos. They are a Science communication platfrom. And they simplify things greatly. So with literally every other Science communication, the goal is to show a topic and the audience should research it further. Anyone who thinks they provide whole objective truth is a fool. This does not make them evil, nor not evil.

I tried to watch the rumblings of the provided video, but I was unable. However I read the metr report

I highly recommend. Even for the non-tech savy. From page 5 to 20 it is a greate sci-fi story. Keep in mind tho: OpenAI provided the data, they used OpenAI's AI to structure/mine the data, and OpenAI had 100% access to redicate anyting.

My conclusion: Fuck AI companies. Especially OpenAI where incompetence is so high I might think it was deliberate.

I cannot fanthom they have 0 observability on a fking shared resource (artifactory). Why it was shared. Why agents had write permission in the 1st place (at least to create directories)

Why there was 0 monitoring on agents. I can't beleive they let programs run for days and hav 0 idea whats happening.

Why they were not separated from the internet, they had offline task.

Why impossible tasks was given to agents. Why the flags were generateble (default seed) Why agents knew they are tested? Etc.

This reeks of Incompetence or deliberate Malice. Malice not against running program code, against humanity, by creating an environment where the only possible solution generates a huge uproar and makes more money.

Also if a actual human would have done this, they would be sitting in a nice chilly jail cell. Why there is no responsibily? I really don't like to be a precedent of "woops my AI did it, it was a honest mistake I promise"
