It doesn't help that the people currently in charge are fucking stupid, trigger happy, and emotionally insecure.

Right it’s not that it’s a killer sentient machine, it’s that it’s a faulty statistical model that outputs incorrect stuff all the time and credulous morons believe it uncritically (or even automate a response based on that inherently inaccurate output).

The only solution is to give the firing codes to the AI. That way we don’t acccidentally use them.

Yeah the more these AI companies are making AI seem the scary boogeyman, the more probable it is some disaster is going to happen because people put too much stock into it. Like the school bombing.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"

It's free on YouTube btw. 'Wargames' for those not in the know.

Summertime savings. Like it

look who is in charge. We can’t trust they didn’t make this call themselves and just blame the ai ffs.

Don't wanna ruin your hope, but we're already there... https://alignment.openai.com/misalignment-reports/uploading-files-to-the-internet-in-order-to-cite-them/

Not far. Current LLMs have kinda stubbornness. They cling to their own conclusions even after you told them they are wrong. So if you ask them for proof, then most times they come up with something that's convincing.

War Games was a computer planning planet destroying nuke attacks because it was taught to play chess and not tic tac toe. it needed to learn about pointless victory. This is a bunch of jackasses in a room buying a thinky box asking it questions and taking the answers seriously enough to go to war relieving themselves of the burden of thought and common sense. this isn't War Games, it's a classic Star Trek episode except Kirk never shows up to teach us that you can't let a fucking computer program run your fucking military intelligence, because that's INSANE. Why would you do that? you need multiple human eyes on everything going on, you can't let a fucking language model do it for you... my god.... it's children doing their homework with AI, except their homework is the apparatus that used to enforce the rule of law on a global scale. granted, that was always a lie as it's more the gun that enforced colonial interests, but still. a gun that decides it need to start shooting random people who could win a war against us depending on the lines drawn and the time frame is a pretty dangerous thing to let go.

Fuck ups happen. Like the shooting down of a civilian Iranian airliner by the US Navy.

"This reminds me of a movie I once saw, so I'm going to believe it didn't happen." LOOOLLL

What a world you must live in.
