This is scarier than AI. (The generic 'bias' and 'safety' can be interpreted wildly)
The US's enemies will not put limits on their AI, it will cause their software to be better.
I'm most afraid of 'safety' making GPT stop letting you use it for medical diagnosis. The medical cartels have competed regulatory capture and AI/LLMs are a genuine threat. My wife has already used GPT to diagnose a difficult patient that was passed around by multiple physicians(and specialists) over a 2 year span. (This was January GPT3)
The local models and powerful hardware cannot arrive soon enough. I'm afraid for our patients and my personal health, we should not under estimate the greed of the medical cartels, their lobbying efforts, and the fear over 'safety' they can draw from. In my lifetime the medical cartels always win. Its urgent to have the 'cat out of the bag'.
- logicchains 3y agoDon't forget the education cartel. GPT4 technology could essentially give everyone a 24/7 tutor in any subject they're studying at a tiny tiny fraction of the cost of a one-to-one human teacher. By almost every metric one-to-one learning overwhelmingly out-performs classroom learning (as the teacher has more time per student), but teachers unions are likely to heavily resist any move away from the traditional classroom model.
- valine 3y agoSchools have already started implementing blanket bans on ChatGPT, claiming that it prevents cheating. Receiving real-time feedback on an essay from a GPT certainly gives students an advantage, but I would hesitate to call it cheating. There is a growing uneasiness, particularly among individuals like Paul Graham, that GPTs diminish the importance of writing skills. However, I don't see it that way at all. In a future dominated by language models, written language is more relevant than ever. When I was in school, the existence of YouTube and Google made many classes feel like a farce. You'd go to class, and the teacher would explain a concept so poorly that you would be forced to go home and watch a YouTube video about it. LLMs feel like an extension of this, further diminishing the relevance of in-class learning to actual education. Time will tell if this finally puts an end to the farce.

Anyone who thinks these things are an authoritative source on any kind of information is insane. Putting it in charge of teaching our children is just giving our kids an inferior service to save a buck.
- pelagicAustral 3y ago> The US's enemies will not put limits on their AI, it will cause their software to be better. You're goddamn right. And I'm going to tell something else, if the next ChatGPT-like AI tool is chinese or russian but turns out is not trying to make quit meat, I'll take that over Captain America-GPT any day of the year.
- __loam 3y ago> The US's enemies will not put limits on their AI, it will cause their software to be better. Absolutely ridiculous statement. We know that China is requiring every chatbot to be registered with the state. The idea that they're not going to put their own limits on that stuff has absolutely no basis in reality and it's not an excuse for lax regulatory frameworks of this technology.
- pseudo0 3y agoGreat, then we can ask US language models about Tiananmen Square, and Chinese language models about US crime statistics. Maybe diversity is a benefit after all?
- astrange 3y agoYou can't ask language models about any kind of statistics unless you want them to just make the answer up.
