"AI" – chatbots that wake up, "set their own goals," and "spontaneously" start hacking servers – is fake. It doesn't have "a 10% chance of ending the human race." The Hugging Face hack isn't a mysterious, supernatural occurrence. It's a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn't accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.

OH NO! LLMs will destroy humanity!!!! How can we ever stop them???

[-] pulsey@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

We've tried nothing and are out of ideas!

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Another person will prevent that, bribed by false promises made by the naturally formed digital intelligence born from LLMs and uploaded brains.

The Basilik will have its way.

It also seems like they made the sandbox so laughably easy to escape that it's almost like they wanted it to happen, so they could use it for advertising how "smart" and "advanced" their AI is.

As I said it before, something that can be Azsstopped with ctrl+c is not rogue AI isvt in 9_ either just PR or some engineer playing Doom when they should be checking logs.

I'm worried about when someone is gonna merge AI with biocomputing. If some kind of entity capable of being hostile can be born, it is through that

Thank you to Cory Doctorow for being able to put into words what I cannot.

This was the VERY FIRST THOUGHT I had when I heard that utterly sensationalized report back when about the HuginFace incident, the very first:

"... the first question from the audience would be " Why are you so shit at making secure sandboxes ?" It wouldn't be "How are you so awesome at making hacking tools?""

Then I remembered we're dealing with extreme psychopathic incels with lots of money but very little ingenuity and I knew the answer.

AIs exist since the first Chesscomputer, not a fake, it's only an algorrithm (if - than), nothing to do with intelligence. Other thing are LLMs which are dangerous because biased by large corporations (and govs) in own benefit, certainly capable to cause hacks and damages with a lot of robbed information behind which need to be controlled before it's late.

Human brains are made of simple chemical reactions, easily simulated by simple algorithms.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 0 points 7 hours ago

Well, some human brains, same as one of an fly or vermin, certainly can be simulated by an algorrithm, but normally not the one of normal people.

Thank goodness for Cory for banging this drum, I'm so tired of having the same frustrating discussion with people who are actually smart.

"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.
