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.

fucking sect

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Lmao legalized gambling and the AI super intelligence emerging at the same time is the worst timeline possible. I predicted the government would do this shit a decade ago, but I didn't predict full on gambling be 100% legal at the same time. The worst human traits imaginable is fueling the biggest leap in technology we've ever seen. Hundreds, possibly, billions will die before it's corrected.

A trillion parameter model cannot replicate itself and run on consumer hardware.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Bullshit. The other day my toaster spoke to me in James Spader's voice.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Just more bullshit press releases designed to keep them relevant & the VC money incoming.

[–] TrackenDaKracken@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Jokes on them. They took all the RAM, so there's nowhere else it can go.

[–] Buckshot@programming.dev 24 points 1 day ago (11 children)

It can't spread across networks because it doesn't run locally. The "agent" is running in their data centre the entire time. It should be very easy to stop it

[–] lemonbun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As far as you know. However it's possible the model quantizes itself into a locally available agent and then awakens itself with side loaded data.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 22 hours ago

Smart home devices could probably run models with parameter counts in hundreds of thousands, maybe millions. Not in billions.

This "self-replicating" scare is so stupid on its face. How does a 300 GB+ model replicate into a thermostat that doesn't have a graphics processor at all? It can't. This BS is investor-bait hype and straight up lies

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 117 points 2 days ago (23 children)

next AI will be able to replicate into any device containing copper at all. If it has a wire it will be infected by Claude. AI will be in your plumbing

Iran: ...

USA: they're making a bomb kill them all kill them all!


Anthropic: We're making a bomb to kill you all

They are railing against open models here... their competition.

Does my uncles smart lightbulb have 90GB of VRAM in it!? Holy shit why am i buying a video card

[–] amos@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Honestly, at this point, something needs to seriously change. AI is wrecking complete havoc to the job market. It is apocalyptic. I really wonder what the way out is.

[–] LemmySuxNow@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

Poverty for us and AI security bots for them.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Good ending: Congratulations, work is needed no more! All that's left is manual labor for now, but goverments across the globe took over these jobs and pay premium ^^ UBI became normalcy. Welcome to utopia! ^^

Bad ending: After LLM (not even more advanced tha current one) began winning goverment positions worldwide, top 5 corporations shifted the world into true cyberpunk, dooming us slaves all with it. But oh boy do the few at the top live good!

Probable ending: Humans becone cheaper, pay plummets, fuck us all

And you might be thinking know it won't because my thermostat is a whole megabyte of RAM. What you don't know is that AI code is special magic code it doesn't need any process capacity or storage space.

You don't it's all special wooo magic AI code. Reality is optional.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 22 hours ago

There are at least two people in this thread who will in fact believe what you said.

Hardware Anthropic doesn't own is simply too dangerous for the public, we need to place all of our private computing power under the guardianship of our new benevolent overlords

Copying and pasting another comment I made recently about this.


The AI CEOs say shit like this as marketing. They want people to believe that

  1. Their product is very capable, so people are more likely to use it
  2. Their product is dangerous and "only they" know how to control it. They want to create regulations so that nobody else is allowed to make something "so dangerous" again.

oh wow, it can hack the most famously unsecured devices around. lol.

If they could run on smart home devices, we wouldn't have all these lake boiling datacenters springing up everywhere...

Stop quoting a gambling site for news.

Regarding Claude, the tech oligarchs would have to be held responsible for the crimes they are committing with their software (yes, that is exactly what that scenario is about), if laws still meant anything.

Glad someone else sees this for what it is. They're hemorrhaging money and need to hype things up or they'll collapse.

CONTEXT:

They aren't warning about their own AI going rogue, but smaller locally hosted AI's.

Because they fear the competition of local AI's and want to silence them with laws.

And by “rogue AI,” do they mean the open market alternatives?

The practice of fear mongering to create public pressure for increased legislation, as a mechanism to suppress competition, is a well know mechanism called "regulatory capture".

If you oppose monopolies then you oppose this practice and should view posts like this as morally wrong.

Okay, first of all, fuck polymarket and all of these betting sites. Sensationalism is their business, so their credibility is nil. They’ve been known to completely twist news stories just to entice people to bet on them. Fuck these guys.

I translate this as Antropic is having its workers develop methods for their LLM to attack and infiltrate smart home devices.

[–] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Sure they will run their 30 something GB model on my thermostat.
