There is precisely zero mention of any plan to put xAI or any other LLM in any safety critical or decision making process. How long? Nobody knows because nobody

There is precisely zero mention of any plan to put xAI or any other LLM in any safety critical or decision making process. How long? Nobody knows because nobody is even considering it. Take your pointless fear mongering elsewhere.

- herval 2y agoIt's unbelievable how the US government is literally being dismantled in front of your eyes, and all you can see is this thought-terminating bullshit about "purple hair people". Half the American population completely lost the ability to think...
- xedrac 2y agoThe way I see it is our government is being rescued from the tyranny of unelected bureaucrats with near zero accountability. And now that Trump has appointed someone to take a close look at everything and make recommendations for improvement, people are losing it. Why? I'm outraged at how irresponsible our government has been with my tax dollars. Trump has been the most transparent president in history, and it has absolutely been a breath of fresh air.
- cpursley 2y agoYeah, exactly. It blows my mind that expecting accountability, transparency, and effectiveness out of public servants is even a partisan issue.
- imgabe 2y agoLarge parts of the government needed to be dismantled. I know this is a shock to the people whose solution to every problem is “give the government more money”, but amazingly, people who primarily take a job because it has a cushy pension and its impossible to get fired are not the most effective people in the world.
- moolcool 2y agoIt's well documented that DOGE uses AI, and Musk has tweeted that SpaceX will be overhauling the FAA as well. It's pretty realistic to think they will (or already do) use xAI for critical processes.
- imgabe 2y agoDOGE makes recommendations to the president, who has the final decision making authority. The rest is pure speculation. “It is very reasonable to believe this thing that confirms all my biases so therefore it must be true”
- moolcool 2y agoI would argue that developing those recommendations is a "safety critical" task. Especially given that just in the past few days they accidentally fired, then re-hired, a bunch of nuclear weapons safety workers.
- imgabe 2y agoThat is the MO. Elon has stated publicly that if you don’t have to put something back, you haven’t cut enough. That is the idea. You cut things and see what was necessary.
- moolcool 2y agoThat might work if you're slashing headcount at a social media company (though I would argue that it doesn't), but the stakes are a bit higher when you're responsible for things like feeding hungry people, curing disease, or keeping planes in the sky.

No comment about current US politics, but it’s probably a given that many will read “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” and drop the second part because the first is exactly what they want. Same as how you can’t get in touch with human support on many platforms nowadays, but instead just get useless bot responses.
- imgabe 2y ago“It bolsters my argument to assume this thing is true so it’s a given that it’s true”. Cool. Good job.
- pccole 2y agoThis is a really bad take honestly. This guy sits next to the president. I have no doubt in my mind he will get another government contract and the government will be using Grok.
- imgabe 2y agoOh wow you imagined something will happen and you have no doubt it will happen. Amazing. Very convincing.
