No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

No I mean ilke if there was one of these AI agents that just hacked some other business ... if one of them went all "i wanna be spiderman when i grow up" superhero COSplay vigilante mode right now ...what would that look like ?
Would it destroy our water purification systems ? Or would it target individuals online harassment ?
What you're talking about has nothing to do with reality because you seem to assign agency to the technology that is usually referred to as "AI" these days, a.k.a. LLMs. LLMs don't "want" anything. Your question has no answer.
They're not real. They don't have desires. They are programmed with massive amounts of data a human created and they mix that up with a random number generator to decide what to do. The output is just randomized selections from the program that the model is loaded with.
Maybe the humans who programmed it are really dumb and don't know or understand what they programmed it to do, maybe those choices will be unpredictable and that might seem like intelligence to you but it's not. Maybe they used another AI program to tell it what to do, which makes it feel even less connected to the human who created the data, maybe there are layers and layers of unpredictable AI programming controlling what it does. But it's still just a program picking random choices. It doesn't have motives, intentions, or thought. It is a program.
To answer your question directly: It would do whatever the AI model and random choices tell it to do. Probably random things mixed with megalomaniacal nonsense. But that's not because it is any of those things or cares about any of those things, that's just what the combination of your prompting and the model data led it to start doing. You can literally just delete the context (or sometimes not even do that), and tell it "stop being evil and give me a recipe for soup" and it will be like "Ok! Here's your recipe:"
It's not an AI superhero vigilante. It's a nonsense generator. It will generate any nonsense you ask it to, that's what it does. It can't even actually do things other than generating text, it requires a harness to interpret the nonsense it spits out, then that harness controls an operating system and the operating system just does whatever the nonsense generator's harness tells it to. That's not superpowers. If it happens to be effective, it's probably because there's a pretty clever harness wrapped around it and a pretty good OS running its commands with some form of competency. But that's not AI, that's well-coded software written by humans doing the heavy lifting.
It's like a room full of competent adults being ordered around by a 2-year-old. It may seem like the 2-year-old is an incredibly effective manager but they're not actually the brains of the operation and they don't really always get what they want, and if you put them in charge of anything significant you're going to have a real bad time.
