One step at a time! Next it'll be defensive technology only, then defensive weapons, then the best defence is a good offence. Before you know it, it'll be "wipe out the humans to achieve peace in our time."
- stcredzero 3y agoOne step at a time! Next it'll be defensive technology only, then defensive weapons, then the best defence is a good offence. LLM chatbots pose no existential risk, because they are not autonomous. However, give a model an OODA loop and planning, and it could become an existential threat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop The problem with military applications, is that having an OODA loop which is potent enough to defeat a human being is basically required. Once multiple factions have such AIs, then those AIs will be in a mutual arms race and become ever more potent. Planning capabilities will also improve in such an arms race. Before you know it, it'll be "wipe out the humans to achieve peace in our time." If the AI arms race is very rapid and the improvement curve is steep enough, then humans might become as irrelevant as black powder arms on the modern battlefield. (And everywhere else)

- hermitdev 3y ago"Eat children!" vs "Eat, children!". Punctuation saves lives. Edit to add: Personally, I think it would be hilarious if grammar comes back in terms of a "Survival 101 in the face of AI" course.

- mattmaroon 3y agoAn AI perhaps.
- catchnear4321 3y agoin that case it might depend on the outcome of arguments on the internet, since the ai was fed on something.

- iraqmtpizza 3y agoPreposterous, sir! I have it on good authority from the marriage equality bros that slippery slopes are just fear-mongering. Why would schoolteachers all of a sudden be transing kids just because some tiny, tiny proportion of adults are getting visiting rights at hospitals? Moore's Law--also slippery slopism. As if computers will magically get faster next year just because they did the last n years!
- exe34 3y agoExactly! Why let women vote, next thing black people will want it too and before you know it, something bad will happen.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoActually black Americans tend to vote strongly against child genital mutilation. If you had only listened to black voters (of California Prop 8 fame), the civil rights struggle of our time would almost certainly not be sterilizing people who because of their youth we do not allow to ride a bicycle without a helmet.
- exe34 3y agoDoes this actually happen? Or is it just a Republican fantasy?
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoDo kids actually die from biking without a helmet? I've never met one.
- exe34 3y agoYes they do: https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2019-10-02/parents-of-boy-who-died-after-falling-off-his-bike-join-reading-cycle-safety-campaign https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2019-10-02/parents-of-boy-...
