AI has already murdered hundreds of thousands of people via Lavendar and the US equivalent.
It's been an existential threat for years.

"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 still need to tell it to find targets. The existential risk they keep trying to sell us is that AI starts acting of its own accord. It really can not, to a significant degree anyway. You can give an agent really vague directions and maybe it'll choose to do something dangerous or illegal, but you can just kill the process at any point and it's done.
The definition of existential is that it's a threat to existence. It's already been used to murder innocent people.
That's the definition of an existential risk.
Wut? No.
You can absolutely give an AI access to all the phone records, including triangulated GPS positions of the phone, then have it calculate (hallucinations and all) which phones to target.
Then it can trigger an autonomous drone to fly near it and shoot a hellfire missile or a 2,000 lb bomb at the GPS coordinates.
This has already happened (killing children, whether hallucinations or intention) in Palestine and Iran.

That's a good name for what happened to the school in Minab that murdered hundreds of innocent girls
It's also what the Israeli forces have been doing to Palestinians in Gaza.

Great interview. I need to watch more of Hodes' content.
