oh my fucking god
just dial the doomsday clock to 1am, because we’ll probably miss it anyway if it’s up to a few morons and glorified predictive text, both seemingly in “fucking kill everything” mode
Summertime savings. Like it
Anyone letting a black box that cannot be audited make decisions should be immediately fired and barred from any leadership position for the rest of their lives.

We’re nearing the end of the prelude to a Fallout game.
Stupidity has no limits
Everything has. Light is limited at 300kkm/sec, stupidity is limited at 1.345 Trumps.
Techbros: AI will become sentient and kill us all unless its done my way.
Reality: Skip the sentience part we’re already at the death bit.
I wonder when does the AI also hallicunate the sources such as webpages, pdfs, reports to prove its hallucinated point.
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.
You know the thing where AI companies describe their alignment direction as “Honest, Harmless, Helpful”?
The only one that’s marketable to the idiots buying AI services is Helpful. So that’s always top priority even when it goes against the other two.
Average decider wouldn’t stand an “assistant” that sometimes answers “I don’t know”. So instead agent providers train their already hallucination-prone model to be 100% confident in whatever it says. Who cares if it’s true if it looks like it is?
When- they don’t have “stubbornness“- they have a weights set (a weighted probbility table) and a training model (a text file filled with compressed text coordinates) that the llm cant write to to give positive feedback to the weights. It’s less of a matter of “convincing“ and more of an issue of “making the resulting statement logically concurrent with the probability table thats inbuilt into the system by injesting stack overflow vote talley, reddit posts voted most popular” - that makes it hard to “convince”. Since making those weights is very expensive (an energy intensive), the developers usually incorporate the old model into the new one. TLDR: yet again, lazy programming, google up: the y2k date folks in the 70’s.
another point. the ‘diversity’ in the system is running the model 10k times within the same model, that’s like saying you have a brain trust of 10k experts, except it’s just 10k copies of Gary. they seriously lack creative skills and abstract thought processes because they’re a very complex monoculture with no diversity in the models. and the reason that don’t have 10k unique models running is because that would be incredibly complicated and time consuming and this is a product to sell, not a need being filled.
10k gary clones sounds absolutely frightening.
It’s not “weights” they dont weigh anything - they’re parameters.
See how obtuse thst sounds? They do have a stubbornness, we all know it’s just silicon chips and copper. It can still be stubborn like a stripped screw can be stubborn.
Except a screw doesn’t get anthropomorphized. People don’t kill themselves over screws, or rely upon them for decision making while dropping bombs. And millions of dollars aren’t spent in advertising to convince you that that screws are your friends or will take your job.
Holy fucking shit, not during the stupidest fucking administration in the history of the world NOT DURING THE STUPIDEST FUCKING ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

I bet there’s some degree of sensationalist reporting here. It’s a bit too reminiscent of WarGames for me to believe this actually happened.
Petrov is a man who took enormous risk in the name of common sense and humanity. He should be honored by all people.
I think it’s pretty wild that not only is there a man who saved the world, but most people don’t even know his name.
Fuck ups happen. Like the shooting down of a civilian Iranian airliner by the US Navy.
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.
except their homework is the apparatus that used to enforce
the rule of law on a global scaleAmerican’s iron fist control over the rest of the world, under the guise of “rule of law”
“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.
media literacy is dead, long live media illiteracy!
sooner or later they are going to have friendly fire, and hallucinate one of thier own US navy vessels as “foreign with nuclear capabilities”
Do we’re bombing Chinese vessels now? Wtf?
Fucking hell
