LLMs are not intelligent. They lack morals, knowledge, and intent. The only remote risk of extermination is if a company with absolute impunity and endless resources told an LLM to hack the nuclear weapons and if knowledge of how to do that was already published online and processed as training data.
LLMs cannot do anything new, they can only regurgitate information thats already been stolen.
Ed Zitron’s podcast “Better Offline” recently talked about this. There is a small tech community called the Rationalists who believe AI super intelligence is inevitable and it will either accelerate humanity to new heights or kill off the species. These rationalists are actually a very prominent faction within tech and the AI industry. Apparently the language used within top AI firms is largely about the immense danger posed by AI super intelligence if any other group or company were to achieve it first. This creates an echo chamber that makes the people in the industry kind of lose their mind and misinterpret the capability of LLMs.
Everyone outside that faction recognizes that LLMs are just unreliable cloud software with limited use cases and that there’s no evidence LLMs could actually lead to any kind of intelligence.
Edit: Please, someone stop me from commenting on an AI post next time I’m tempted. I’m so tired of people replying, arguing with opinions I don’t have, based entirely around a hypothetical technology that doesn’t exist yet. LLMs make slop. Thats it. They hacked a company after weeks of 100s of instances being run, using old exploits published online. San Francisco will be underwater from climate change before LLMs can do anything more.
yeah I did realize that after thinking about it. Still I’m not sure. I guess it depends on what that experience is like.
Well I imagined we were talking about an imaginary sci-fi technology. Obviously it would be more complicated and possibly at risk for some kind of manipulation in real life. If I were presented a teleporter where the only fault is a philosophical question about being a copy, then I don’t mind being a copy and my original self dying.
I have no idea what you mean lol
I’d use a teleporter with no hesitation. What’s important is my memories and sense of self, not the actual meat it’s in. I could find out I’m a copy of myself right now and not be bothered.
Yeah I got that result on google translate too, but the kanji or hanzi symbols it picks out are wrong.
I don’t know if this is the right community to ask about this. I’ll delete the post if it’s not.
I got this tea set at a thrift store today and I tried to look up the makers mark out of curiosity, but I’m awful with kanji and I havent been able to get any online tools to help figure it out. I know it’s probably not anything special, but I’m still curious.
I’m glad you were able to recognize those habits, get a handle on things and lose weight. It sounds like it was a serious struggle for you. I hope you’re more proud of the achievement than how embarrassed you sound writing about the struggle. <3
I don’t think I’d be able to do that anyway. Poverty brain makes me very cheap and I have serious money anxiety. Not to mention I just can’t eat that much before feeling sick. I wish I could eat tiramisu 24/7, but it costs like $15 for a block of it and my stomach cant handle any more than that in a day anyway. Even if I did eat an entire tiramisu every day, it still wouldn’t be enough calories to get where I need to be. I walk about 10 miles a day while carrying weight.
Ideally I’d want the fat in my butt and chest and not my around my liver lol
Yeah I know, I’m a bad American. A trans woman who excerises regularly and doesn’t consume much sugar. I was just considering milk, but I worry a bit about taking in too much calcium. I have bad kidneys and get stones pretty frequently. I’ll have to talk to my dr before I try that one.
Yeah one of my gym friends said to drink a lot of mass gainer, but that stuff is like $100 a bucket. I’ll look into making a diy version though
