"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.

While I do agree with this, you also don't need AGI to cause severe damage.
And of course the Pentagon has been the most reckless of all, which doesn't help.
I think it's both. They're trying to figure out how to keep all the money while also, you know, not killing us all. I don't even want to describe how it can be done for it to be fed into training data, but it doesn't take much, and it doesn't have to be intentional.
Agreed, but people can be stupid (or dodge responsibility) with lots of technologies or other things. TBH I don't think it's particularly dangerous in and of itself at this stage, that's more marketing (ooh it's scary and dangerous, must be powerful). It can be a force multiplier for well trained people doing dangerous things, black hat hackers for example. It will not be killing us all, it might contribute to some (orange) idiot releasing the nukes, but that's on the idiot, if it wasn't LLMs it'd be something else, not that we'd care.
