So vital it helped the US lose a war.
even in times of war, LLMs will hallucinate. "you're right, that was the wrong target (one line) here's what you did wrong (with detail)"
the Department of War used Grok to “deploy over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 distinct targets within 96 hours during Operation Epic Fury.”
Let that euphemism sink in for a second.
I wonder if Grok is also the justification they'll start using for claiming that random fishing boats in the Pacific are actually drug runners
It surely is an easy justification. It was not in their hands, how could grok fail them, it was a slight miscalculation that was already fixed, blahblahblah
And only 2,000 children were slaughtered! Thanks (cough cough cough) Grok!
NAH-AH! It were "2000 distinct targets". But hey, the use of euphemism at least show they KNOW. That has to count for something, hm?
What's even the point of exempting something like a military base, like the article says.
Or exempting Grok from pollution regulations.
Like that's just backwards. Let's increase national security, by exposing residents to harmful toxins.
At that point you're just doing the work of foreign adversaries, by killing citizens yourself.

That's a common reason the big ones in history fall. In the end it's by the rich, for the rich, and f the citizens. A population strongly divided doesn't unite in time against an external enemy and the enemy wins. So far they're just following history's playbook.
I would like off Commodus's wild ride. Thanks in advance.
DOJ: "We'll say it for 100 million dollars."
He says ai will be a million times smarter than a human.
One day an AI might be, it won't be an LLM though.

I’m no expert, but I feel like that’s akin to saying a human may be intelligent, but it won’t be Broca’s area of the brain.
I would think a true AGI would involve a lot of different neural networks doing different things. And an LLM could end up being a useful component of allowing it to communicate. Though who knows how the model would need to change if its language prompts are inputs from other neural nets.
And I have to imagine at this point major AI models aren’t just LLMs, that’s just the part we interface with.
Again, I’m very far from an expert. What I do know is that the current MASSIVE push with the technology* we have now is causing more harm than it’s worth.
*edit: typo
Brocas area on its own isn't intelligent and strapping a bunch of Brocas areas together won't get you there either.
Most of the frontier models as far as I'm aware are basically a bunch of differently trained LLMs strapped together and even then there have only been incremental improvements to their performance, no new functionality has really emerged from doing that.
LLM investment is IMO a dead end hype train and will require breakthroughs in other techniques of machine learning to put together something we would recognise as truly intelligent. I'll concede the possibility that LLM like functionality may be a portion of that but equally it may not be.
Oh how certain you are.
well it's true. if you don't get an hallucination or a false positive solution on your first attempt with any LLM you should go play the lottery.
It might be a million times faster, but not smarter.
a human
It's a million times smarter than a specific human, Musk's pedo buddy Donald Trump.
Yeah ok, there surely are exceptions :-)
Depends how you define smart. Can it answer any kind of encycclopedic question within seconds? Yes!
Can it adapt and change to a dynamic environment? Not really!
Yes, just says ai is a broad statement. I mean robots with ai minds. I am talking about further down the line.
