It’s what the dumbest people wanted, and too many didn’t care to stop the stupid.
We have an actual Kakistocracy.
Also an oligarchy... A plutocracy... And soon to be a full blown fascist dictatorship.
All the best forms government can take.... Yay...
Thank God our fascists are incompetent morons.
Incompetence might just be the point. Valid or not, it undermines people's trust in democratic institutes, making it easier for fascists to break it down further.
A moron with a brick can still fuck you up.
You don't need much intelligence to dish out extreme violence.
Wow, these Onion headlines are getting too good.
Wow. It is hard to grasp how dumb this is. This is a stupid idea on so many levels at the same time, it makes my head hurt. How can people like that get into a position where questions like that come up? This sounds more like questions like "Do you want fries with that?" would be over her head.
This is it. The real economic usecase for AI.
Anyone from Tulsi Gabbard to United Healthcare to the Israeli Occupying Force can add in a layer of AI to their operation and poof there goes the responsibility and accountability.
Which one? Who has those files now?
Doesn't really matter. If there was anything notable in the reports one of the next 2 presidents would have either used it for political gain for their party, or destroyed the evidence when they could. There is no chance any useful information is in those documents that didn't come to light years ago
Cant answer for certain, but they is a chance that it wasnt connected to the network.
My company has some version of chatGPT that has been brought into our intranet and does not communicate with the outside. It also "forgets" all of the user input every so often (i think like 15 minutes?).
Our eventual plan is to feed it our internal best practice documents and all of our design records so that it can learn about our company. But it will be ours, and not connected to the outside world. We had a legit concern about data leaks, and this is how they got around it.
Or that's how they convinced you to stop worrying about it
Any competent IT would be able to monitor a systems communications. It might not be able to see what is being sent depending on encryption, but if it's trying to phone home you can see it. It might be through a vpn, or something built into a server, but it's still there, and you can configure the intranet to prevent the out bound communication from it's system.
Pretty much the standard for hospitals and DoD contractors. Honestly I'm not aware of any entities without their own private network capable of this.
I didn't say it was impossible to do. I said it's a convenient explanation to stop people from asking more questions. Companies could say (and I would bet good money that a non-zero amount of them are saying) they are doing this without actually doing it.
True true, but this is the same administration that uses third part chat apps on personal phones for discussing military operations at the highest level.
They have removed benefit of doubt.
Anyone interested in them is 30+ years too late.
