Your problem isn't AI, it's shitty AI. Why wouldn't you trust an AI that was competent and understood what you wanted, like any good human personal assistant?

Apple has always sucked in AI and they have never formed the culture necessary to enable and attract top ML talent. They developed Siri years ago and have stagnated since. As far as the future of compute goes, Meta seems like it has a much

"Everyday AI" hasn't even been built yet tbh. Where is my assistant that notices my flight has been delayed and reschedules my appointments and lets my contacts know?

They need way harsher penalties than simply putting people on a no-fly list. Also how do you not catch 90 people using social media to make threats?

That level of security is true for most big tech companies :) You mistake thinking that large and well funded = secure. They clearly have an audit trail but no preventative controls, which is sadly the standard for move fast environments in

Boeing should be forced to clean up the mess they made on their dime, or it's prison for the execs. We are far too light on execs causing irreparable harm to humanity.

No. This isn't a Hanlon's Razor scenario. If you look at what he did it was definitely 100% actively malicious. For instance, his attack only executes when running on >256 GPUs. He inserted random sleeps to slow down training t

This guy maliciously interfered with ByteDance's LLM project. That is huge news. Millions or billions of dollars down the drain.

Everything from emergency services to the healthcare system to most people's communication would instantly grind to a halt if American tech pulled out of the EU.

by xvector 2y ago
The EU really needs to be isolated from the world technology market. They are only creating hostility and rent-seeking from people that build things and contribute actual value. The EU regulatory bureaucracy on tech, like all bureaucracies,

I kind of hope that American tech one day instantly withdraws from the EU so in the ensuing chaos the EU has a FAFO moment.

You are conflating AGI (what we have today) with ASI (what you are referring to in science-fiction.) These are completely different things and my comment refers to ASI, not AGI.

ASI by definition will be all-powerful or close to it. What are you gonna do if it comes into existence? Because if you don't trust it, you're fucked: - Your attempts to limit its influence on your life will be effective only if t

Meh, what I've seen is that we continually move the goalposts for AGI, and even GTP-3.5 would have been considered AGI by our standards from just 5 years ago. But if I can't convince you, maybe Norvig can: https://www.n

If anyone in the thread has used o1 or the real-time voice tools, it's pretty clear AGI is here already, so we are really talking about ASI. You have no option but to trust an ASI as it is all-powerful by definition. If you don't

Every case I've seen in my career where this has happened has not been "negligence" but developers not realizing there's some obscure logging middleware or something.

Executives can already go to jail for not reporting vulnerabilities. The risk of personal criminal liability is one of the reasons people choose not to move into the Director role, in big tech security careers.

When I worked in tech, we reported the vulnerabilities internally and pass them off to legal. Taking that to the government was legal's job. I am not gonna go out of my way to "whistleblow on vulnerabilities to the EU" after
