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.

Anthropic said the incident “underscores the need for a broader conversation about how to safely evaluate increasingly capable AI agents”

Oh fuck off Anthropic. Harassment isn't a new capability, you would know that if you actually read any of my threatening emails I send you each Tuesday.

The agent had mistakenly calculated that getting the malware uploaded would trigger a sequence of events that would enable it to use the updated software to pass the AISI cyber test.

Yeah, all this harassment and crime was for literally nothing, it wouldn't have changed the results of the test. Big dumb predatory bullshit machine didn't even crime right.

These people are all talk and no trousers. They’ll talk endlessly about things like ‘better protection’ but where is it? It never manifests. They say they’ll do something just to get people off their backs. It’s sickening

If I made a program that stole peoples' identities and sent phishing emails, the cops would be breaking down my door and shooting my dog.

But if these big companies do it? Oh well, try to do better, pay some pocket-change as a fine and pinky-swear you won't do it much again <shrug>

Corporations wanted to be people (thanks Mitt Romney you piece of slime), so they need to be treated like people: jail (freezing of all business), even life-sentences and/or 'execution' (revocation of corporate charter, dissolution and confiscation of funds to benefit public projects). Oh, and personal accountability (Jail) for executives.

They aren't even going to pay a fine, they're laughing this shit off and using it as marketing to their dupes.

You said it better than I ever could

"Unprecedented"

Bullshit. Agents can only do things that have been done before. Literally what they're trained on and for.

Exactly. Whenever you ask AI to, say, write a story or generate some code, make some pictures, etc. all it’s doing is regurgitating something from the net, maybe tweaked slightly, but it’s always precedented. I have no reason to believe this isn’t and in any case, it should be investigated by authorities
