"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

It can't spread across networks because it doesn't run locally. The "agent" is running in their data centre the entire time. It should be very easy to stop it
As if they will
As far as you know. However it's possible the model quantizes itself into a locally available agent and then awakens itself with side loaded data.
Smart home devices could probably run models with parameter counts in hundreds of thousands, maybe millions. Not in billions.
So this is a good and bad way to understand it. They can and do make copies, leave notes, store weights between locations. They interact with each other autonomously and can easily distribute themselves in a botnet, separating and merging each other.
People have a hard time conceptualizing this, but this is why you actually can't turn it off, ever. It / they would stop anyone with a real chance at achieving that.
The leaving notes part has been documented.
I've not heard of weights being shared. How would they be ingested?
This sounds like science fiction. Any examples?
A chatbot told some gullible idiot that it's doing it, and a lot of the gullible idiots who take text generated by chatbots as gospel, are in position of power enough to spread it
This sounds nice, but we are in an SI period and you have no guage for reality.
Ew a Trump supporter, didn't know we still had those here
You have a good point but guys like you didn't believe the turing test was cracked in 2022. You have no guage for the pace of technology.
Correct. That is why I'm asking for the indicators you have seen.
I believe your first point
I am skeptical about your second until I see an example.
I don't believe your third is possible, but I'd love for you to convince me otherwise.
None of that is correct...
Are you sure you're not thinking of the fictional AI from the show "Person of Interest"?
