- ipsod 2mo agoLet's say you're facing an average psycho, who is intent on mass murder - the more the better. Would you rather them have: a) guns b) psycho-aligned next-gen AI
- afthonos 2mo agoObviously (a).
- georgemcbay 2mo ago> Would you rather them have: As an American... I suspect that regardless of what I want they will have virtually unlimited access to both now that the tech industry understands how the lobbying game works.
- Arainach 2mo agoFalse dichotomy, there's no reason not to have controls on both. Given the choice between them having access to guns and nuclear waste my answer is also "neither".
- ipsod 2mo agoThe question was meant to illustrate the actual danger of always-user-aligned AI, not to vote for which one we get to keep. So many here get so worried about guns, but don't think twice about how dangerous AI can be.
- thrwaway55 2mo agoHegseth already has both A and B. Anthropic already answered this, the answer to this choice is a resounding yes
- armchairhacker 2mo agoI’d rather the psycho have a brain implant that physically prevents him from murder, but I wouldn’t trust such an implant myself fearing abuse or malfunction. I’d change my mind if the AI was really smart or controlled an agile, dangerous robot. But current-gen AI I’d choose for them over a gun. We’re ruled by psychos (of a lesser degree), the road starting directly towards perfect safety is a dead end, meanwhile I want an LLM aligned to myself.
- xboxnolifes 2mo agoWhich is why we need to restrict what is allowed on the internet. Anything the government deems too dangerous needs to be removed so as to not align with mass murderers.
- ipsod 2mo agoRight. No good answer, AFAICT. Just a bad problem. Hard to find a solution that's not worse than the problem itself - same as other weapons, IMO.
