"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.
You’re absolutely right! Good catch! That was actually the emergency procedures that I overwrote.
With regard to the “elephant foot”, elephants are pachyderms and have four feet. Is there an elephant in the power plant currently? Or would you like me to tell you more about elephants and their natural habitats?
we're so cooked. it is really interesting to be living through the end of all civilization. I didn't think it would be like it is, but it do.
The great filter is coming more and more into focus...
Nah. Only what passes for civilization in the USA. Absolutely nobody else is going to let degenerative AI run their nuclear power plants. That degree of AI cultishness is pretty much American.
I keep saying we should have shut it down in 1999.. maybe 2005. The Matrix was right
It was always going to happen soon. It didn't have to be this stupid and cruel, though.
Nuclear Power is one of those areas where doing it right is a billion percent more important than doing it cheap. This is very not something to try using Generative AI on.
nuclear power plants already use AI to run efficiently.
introducing a LLM into the equation won't only damage infrastructure, it will kill people.
This actually sounds like a good final episode for the Simpsons. Burns uses AI at the power plant. Everyone is laid off. Everyone in town is affected financially. The AI decides it does this need Burns. Kills Burns. The AI skyrocket electricity prices for Springfield. People in town form angry mob and elect Homer to enter plant to shut off the AI. Homer and AI have a 2001 Odyssey style fight. Shenanigans happen. Homer wins. Episode ends.
Online 2 follow up episodes come out.
Homer opens a beer to celebrate in the control room. Some beer spills onto the AI Computer/power plant control desk. The AI is revived for a split second, enough to send the plant into a self destruct sequence. Everybody leaves Springfield and the plant goes Chernobyl. End of episode.
Everyone is celebrating the AI being turned off but in the background Smithers grades the AI computer. He believes the computer alone has enough power to bring back Burns in AI form. The town of Springfield celebrates and months pass. Life is normal except for the defunct Burns mansion basement where Smithers is about to turn on AI Burns. Cut to commercial. Come back and Maggie enters the basement with a gun and shoots Burns again. End of series.
To Enshitify!.... AND BEYONDDD!
I guess nothing could go wrong, eh?
Chernobyl 2 only 40 years later YAAAAAYY!!
