If that's the case, whitelisting the most popular apps might be somewhat of a solution, no? Also I think being transparent about the fears that LLMs take from your site without returning any value would probably be met with understandi

Whether you think it's an extinction risk or just a problem in the wrong hands, both concerns ultimately seem to require strong regulation. Very unpopular around here ("you can't ban matrix multiplication"!) but hard to

But people already try to do that, see AutoGPT and similar endeavors. Whether agentic AI will appear is not a question at all - humans will make it so just to see what happens or to serve their goals.

Only a three second sample for in context learning needed to scam people now, very impressive.

Couldn't the same be said for your interpretation of this issue? I don't care much about the RIAA, but I don't particularly want AI impersonation to become commonplace and legitimized. That doesn't mean I "side&quot

Intuitively it feels logical that this would be challenged, but what do I know about copyright law. Surely cloning a famous artist's voice and musical style to piggyback off of their popularity would be some kind of infringement? And i

I mean, we already know that if the tech bros have to balance safety vs. disruption, they'll always choose the latter, no matter the cost. They'll sprinkle some concerned language about impacts in their technical reports to preten

Why is the sentiment here so much that LLMs will somehow be decentralized and run locally at some point? Has the story of the internet so far not been that centralization has pretty much always won?

So it seems reasonable to be pessimistic about a potential beneficial outcome, given these conditions. The quest for meaning is perhaps the lifeline for Meta's VR ambitions. If there's nothing left to do in the real world, people

Hook up our kid to the AI, so they are prepared for the world when their partner will also be an AI. Good idea, they'll be prepared for a world where nothing is real anymore. (I do realize this echos concerns from earlier generations a

Loved reading your thoughts on the situation in this thread, super interesting and depressing at the same time. I wonder how long it will take politics to appreciate the deep societal problems that may soon arise. Probably it will be too li

What's luddite about not wanting to read ghostwritten AI stories posted by fake writers? If I want AI stories or art, I can just prompt the models myself and don't need a useless intermediary. On the bright side, this is likely al

But then the AI is the writer and you're just an editor or curator. So perhaps don't call yourself a writer if the AI produced a significant amount of the content. Same goes for Stable Diffusion/Midjourney prompters who shoul

Not even OpenAI seems to know. They put some perfunctory disclaimer on economics into their risks section of the GPT4 report, but their lack of understanding the consequences didn't seem to prevent them from pushing this development, s

Figured that they'd hop on the techno-utopian bandwagon that's currently being pushed and double down on bringing the glassholes back instead. People are also seem more desensitized to privacy concerns nowadays, so they might have

Thanks for your reply, cool that there are others who have the same interpretation of the ongoing development. I said "it probably won't happen", I mostly meant that in a resigned way, where I think that humanity won't m

I admire your optimism if you think that a human in the loop will add any value. Other than for humoring/entertaining the human, of course, which is what I meant with learning-as-a-hobby. Also, I'm not educator or very knowledgeab

Given that learning will probably soon not be required anymore to live a successful life (AIs will do everything better than you), I guess such learning-as-a-hobby apps will be the remaining niche to entertain the humans on basic income. I

With the current progress, human learning seems to be obsolete soon, so there's little point in optimizing an AI for teaching. Unless you mean only as a hobby to pass the time. > AIs may be tutoring and raising other baby AIs, prepa

Interesting how quickly we are pushing ahead with obsoleting human cognition. It may bring many benefits, but I wonder if at some point this development should not be decided by society at large instead of a single well-funded entity that i
