Everybody is self-soothing with the idea that OpenAI's (frankly, half hearted) push for regulation is just mundane regulatory capture and profit seeking, and not the fact that it will, at best, absolutely destroy everything about the internet and technology that we've come to love and know. Should a 4chan torrent show up like LLaMA, with weights and code for a base GPT4-level model, modern society is done. Golden age over.
- netsec_burn 3y agoFrom your perspective, how would modern society be "done" if GPT-4 was generally available? How would it be substantially different from LLaMA?
- flangola7 3y agoGPT-4 is far more capable than LLaMA. Just as one area of impact - captchas would become permanently ineffective. If you're experienced in developing captchas and everything they do for us, you know the implications of that alone lead to a very dystopian internet and world. I like to answer a question with a question: if you sit and think about it, what both unintentional misuses and intentional abuses can you think of? It helps to write down a list of known abilities, then thinking up several "what if..." negative utilities or implications of each, then iterating further to see second, third, fourth order effects.

- ccooffee 3y agoHey, captchas also prevent disabled people from using the internet!
