Yeah i know that that's the idea, i just don't really understand how a computer program i wrote that runs on my computer could become "uncontrollable". I can just shut it down whenever i want to. As far as I know it's not as if this is a real thing at this point anyway, we just have shit like ChstGPT which takes some input and produces some output. It's not sitting around doing stuff on its own time, it doesn't have agency. It isn't thinking or planning or anything, it's just a piece of software that does what it's told.
"But people can use the tech for mean stuff" yeah well they already have nukes, i don't see us writing code that's worse than nukes any time soon.
- constantcrying 3y agoThe entire sector suffers from a lack of "show me the code". I absolutely agree that right now the gap between the science fiction stories and LLMs is quite huge.
- z5h 3y agoChatGPT can give plausible problematic scenarios where you (admittedly) cannot. Reflect on that.
- sfn42 3y agoNot really sure what you're saying. The LLM is capable of parroting doomsayings from text it's trained on? Yeah that does not come as any kind of surprise. Maybe you want to bring up a point, something concrete that we can actually talk about? Because this vague appeal to authority (where the "authority" is a notorious liar) isn't very convincing.
- z5h 3y agoI’m suggesting you’re not a position to make claims about a system, that in its infancy, can outperform you (most of us) in many ways. Especially if, in your opening argument, you admit being unable to think of scenarios instead of doing the work to conceive of plausible scenarios.
