Jreg is working on something to torture AI agents, so maybe that could convince the AI to kill itself

on California governor signs order pushing for an AI 'kill switch' in c/technology@beehaw.org · 4d ago
This sort of stuff does little to create safety but does a lot to hype AI. Here’s an idea: ban unsafe software for cases where safety is a requirement OR hold these companies accountable for illegal outcomes (no more “oops, our software hacked a competitor” without getting hit with a lawsuit). Newsome would never do something so sensible as it would hurt his donors’ bottom line.

on AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago
Wanted to expand on what others have said about the randomness of LLMs being unsafe, because that response angers those who think “alignment” is the solution. Alignment is additional training to constrain the randomness to not do bad things like crime. But even the staff that works on aligning this software have their doubts about whether this process will make the software safe (this article), and even their own researchers are coming out and saying “oops, it did a crime” but in a way where it hypes the ability of the software (see other articles about it hacking). Then there is the recent news of OpenAi’s recent model that drops chain of thought observability (a feature the let’s you read what the model is “thinking”) - a very useful tool in reviewing whether the model is engaging in unsafe activities. They sacrificed observability for benchmark performance. This tells us the people developing this software don’t think it will ever be safe, but they are trying to spin it as “because it can out smart us” when in reality it is simply unpredictable and they are making it less predictable to make it more “capable”. If we started holding these companies accountable for these rogue hacks and psychotic episodes then we would start to see serious thought put towards these models being safe or at the very least guidelines around when not to use the models.

Here’s an idea: don’t use unsafe software where safety is needed.

Hardly, you need to maintain the same numbers to double check the work of AI. Haven’t improved throughput, but this guarantees better quality

If we’re making up numbers my point is that with 100 employees using AI you get 2x the quality than 50 employees using AI

Because the alternative to saving money with AI is providing better services with AI - if it can be done. And the people to do that are the people doing the job.

If you want to argue then address the first three sentences rebutting your argument. If you want to express your feelings you address the personal. I gave you both options and you chose the latter. Consider me your free internet schizo therapist.

That’s a non-sequitur. A group of people banding together to protect themselves is not automarically an *archy. Nor does it follow they are secretly in control. I think you are describing your own personal reality then the reality at large. Do women really control your life so much that you feel you are not in control of your own life? Can you cite an example for us to analyze?

That’s the nature of patriarchy. Women are to be protected while most men are disposable.

Would you say women and men are targeted in equal proportions or that one group is targeted over the other based on “perceived value”? Like I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying, “yes, and”

You’ll be able to interact with your agent through any device, including your glasses to keep you present in the moment with the people you care about.
The guy still thinks his pervert glasses is a product we want. There isn’t a single original thought under that perm of his.
