"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm convinced this is also assholes like Elon selling the idea to them to scam other wealthy assholes out of money. Can't even get self-driving cars to work and you want an AI robo-dog with a gun keeping you safe? There's zero logic which would make that work, and yet...
They're not gonna keep them inside their compounds. They're gonna program them to kill anyone that comes within a 500m radius of their exterior walls.
Ukraine is using operator controlled robots to great success. With a narrow enough operational scope and enough training data it's likely we will see functional automated versions.
Operator-controlled is the key distinction. Ultra-wealthy people want an AI they control that puts everyone but them and their friends in the kill chain. Considering how bad Ai systems are at getting that right, I look forward to seeing them make it happen as quickly as possible.
