"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.
The unbelievable hubris and short-sightedness of believing you can freely open this pandora's box and never have it used against you.
I have no doubt they can do what they intend. But are they really this unimaginably stupid to think they're the only ones who will ever be capable of doing this? They evidently can't even shoot down Iranian drones and missiles as it is. How do they imagine this is going to end for them?
I hope that they, at least, partially remember John Cameron's work and will set reliable restrictions for AI. The last thing we need today is an analog of a Skynet...
There is no such thing as a reliable restriction on a system that has a catastrophic failure rate of 1% per task (at best).
At very least, I hope that they will not give it access to ballistic missiles. Moreover to nuclear ones.
