A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Do not create the Torment Nexus.

Hack one of that automated turrets and change the promp sounds pretty easy.

At long last we've created killer drones from the cautionary short film "Slaughterbots".

Of course, given how jank what we've decided to call "AI" is if you tried to make a real Slaughterbot it'd probably be blowing up random people or patches of the wall that it thought looked like a face.

I love the idea of a fancy autocomplete trained on Reddit and 4-chan deciding whether or not someone should be murdered or not. Sounds like a fantastic idea.

“Obviously not… but, then again… money…

Silicon Valley companies yet again deciding if they should involve themselves in affairs they have no business being a part of. Where the fuck is Congress?? Oh right, eating out of these fuckers’ platinum assholes.

There’s obviously no way this could ever go wrong, Silicon Valley companies always make decisions based on what’s ethically and morally best for everyone, so I’m sure they’ll make the right call.

Tech bros: "But what if AI could have a little murder rampage, as a treat?"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 hours ago

Tech CEOs are privileged people who will do what ever and say what ever to make lots of money.

Speaking of things that are deadly, that mullet/soul patch combo in the preview is rough

Yea were seriously considering what some dude that looks like that thinks about weapons?

It’s time to get those parts to build an EMP.

Ok so just imagine this guy doing a TED presentation ala Weyland in the first Alien reboot movie, and just splice that as the intro to the first Terminator movie.

Silicon Valley has no word in this. It's givernments who decide what kind of weapons they want for their militaries.

Silicon Valley has lobbying money

If it decides tech bros and billionaires are legitimate targets, sure.

Eventually? Maybe, but frankly Asimov had those rules for a reason. Now? It can't even decide what it said a second ago.

The current discussions of LLM and algorithmic learning being referred to as "Artificial Intelligence", is super duper frustrating to all us science fiction fans. There is no AI in the Asmiov sense, no one is even trying to make that form of AI.

Having said all that, and this is the coldest take ever. Robots shouldn't kill people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

At best, LLMs are a small slice of a pie that would constitute an artificial intelligence.

I suppose you could look at this 2 ways: either, when we talk about the state of AI, we could say that, yes, we have it, but only this one small part that kinda works ok; or (the more traditional route) would be to say that AI doesn’t exist until all of the constituent technologies have been both developed and assembled.

Obviously, we know which one the marketing departments of many companies choose.
