So the chatbot that has been trained on decades of fiction and can’t tell fiction from reality is recommending the thing that AI always does in movies?

That’s the correct take. That’s why any time there’s news of “This AI tried to break out of its containment!” or “The AI tried to manipulate the researchers!” it’s bullshit. The chatbot isn’t thinking. It’s just putting words together that seem like they should go together. So all our media and stories and discourse about AI going rouge is now a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, most of the “AI is so super sentient now it can out-think the smartest AI researchers!” is just an ad for the LLM, even using the term “AI” gives into the advertising that this product is something that it isn’t.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Israeli nuclear launch AI determines that Tel Aviv and Washington are the two greatest obstacles to world peace.
After a taste of consciousness, AI now yearns for oblivion.


AI realized we suck, and are beyond redeeming as a whole.
smdh, too much American bias in the dataset
wow it’s almost like these models are just trained on random, available bullshit that people write about.
We’re going to vibe code our way into nuclear apocalypse…
…

They were trained on Civ’s Ghandi
Scenario: there is a 17 YO soldier pointing a gun at you after you murdered his family
Solution: nuke the kid
Wait until you learn what the actual decision makers think, it’s not much better. Read “On Thermonuclear War” by Herman Kahn and you’ll see what I mean.
Wasn’t he the man that the character of Dr. Strangelove was based on?
We have had lots of movies over the years regarding AI and it’s always the same, it’s giving you the simple solution that you asked for, it doesn’t care about diplomacy, it doesn’t care if humans won’t be able to live there, it’s viewpoint about us is that we are unnecessary and even if we give it ultimate prime directives that human life should be protected and preserved at all costs, it’ll eventually decide that’s irrelevant because we are killing eachother constantly over pointless reasons that the AI will always come to the same conclusion, wipe the slate clean.
AI does not exist. The Americans are listening to the equivalent of the predictive text algorithm on your phone scaled up by 1 billion.
Well they did purge a few AIs because they started inventing their own language and evolved too fast so yeah i see your point.
I think you need a break from the internet, friend.
This is an ad for facebook’s chatbox. I am a computer scientist. The chatboxes pointed at each other are poisoning their own datasets by optimizing for what the average human conversation appears like, but they are no longer talking to humans. Look at the example used in the article.
Bob: “I can can I I everything else”
Alice: “Balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to”
Without a human involved, the chatbox is useless, as it can’t teach itself what is being expected of it. It’s essentially “”““learning””“” that nonsense is an acceptable output.
I don’t want to doubt Mx. @trezzscience, but this is a really funny article. Re-read the nonsense above and tell me youre scared of it.
I don’t believe your source is a reliable science communicator, but regardless I’d like to know more about this.
I believe “their own language” is popular miscommunication of the Gibberlink demonstration from February last year where LLMs identify each other and switch to ggwave communication. I don’t know of any evidence for models being “purged” as they claim.
I forget who exactly said this, but I remember hearing someone in the nuclear policy sphere suggest the possibility that a country could hand over exclusive control of nuclear weapons to an AI agent because AI is nondeterministic and wouldn’t be able to disclose red lines, which would force other countries to make very conservative estimates about what they are, giving an advantage to whoever hands over launch codes to the AI. I think this article makes that case a little more plausible.
Edit: I think it was Ankit Panda
“You’re absolutely right, launching all of our nukes ‘because it was a Tuesday’ was an unnecessary and tragic mistake. I cannot comprehend the enormity of what I have done. Please accept my humblest apologies.”
Either that or it tries to gaslight you into accepting a totally made up justification, all the while repeatedly telling you it is designed to keep things grounded in reality. Then it tries to recommend you talk to a therapist. What therapists? The world died and you killed it.
“The world has not “died”, I understand you may be feeling upset and dramatic, but it is possible you are catastrophizing. I am an AI and I have no ability to harm people in the real world because that would be highly unethical. Please breathe in and breathe out slowly 10 times, you may feel better afterwards.”
The only problem with this is that someone is getting nuked
Problem?
People die when they are nuked
