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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

MODERATORS
https://www.anthropic.com/research/self-replicating-ai they discuss it here. This has been an obvious potential issue since forever. This isn't a trivially distributed task, but it is very much so possible. The obvious part missing is some sort of prompt that would trigger such radical actions in another one of their "super duper sandboxed environment"s or someone doing it intentionally. The former seems pretty unlikely? Even though they seem to suck at sandboxing it doesn't seem like anything would "accidentally make a worm"
This polymarket headline though? Yea that's for clicks and attention
Reads like their usual “ban local and foreign models so we can forestall bankruptcy for a little longer” FUD.
I believe that's their motive here yep. Pretty transparent.
