The possibility of that super-smart person being hacked ... is alarming.
- xyzzy123 2y agoFor me it's not even "hacked" that's the problem, the issue is cloud, subscriptions and the intersection of government and corporate interests. My phone is an amazing tool but it also enables quite pervasive surveillance, including realtime location tracking. Will this new thing be a "super powered assistant" or a superficially helpful snoop who's going to sell my interests and attention to the highest bidder? While co-operating with surveillance dragnets on the side? Is there any possible way that it turns out NOT to do those other things given the incentives for all parties and current regulatory environment?
- apantel 2y agoI think it won’t be long before open source models will be good enough to be good enough, such that the responsible thing to do (for those technically capable) will be to learn how to self-host them. Give it two, three years and I think there will be open models of GPT-4 ish quality that can be run on <$10k of hardware, customized and tuned based on whatever data you want them to be, and capable of agent-type behavior like searching the web. To have a tool like that self-hosted on a server that I control is what I’m waiting for.

- knighthack 2y agoThe fact that any super-smart person can be 'hacked' is nothing new. It's no different than how smart human beings can still be brainwashed/indoctrinated/programmed into believing anything (whether by 'the government' or malicious actors or manipulative sociopaths).
