If Elon Musk and half the Tesla C-Suite were currently in jail because Grok spent weeks generating CSAM-on-demand while they memed about it, Altman and the rest might be a bit more cautious about letting their little robots commit share price friendly press releasable crimes.

I do think you basically charge a few of them with the cybercrimes they're committing and the "alignment" problem does suddenly start to disappear.

If it was discovered that I ran a company that used a team of photoshoppers working remotely from North Korea to generate on-demand sexualized images of women without their consent, including minors, which I then posted live on Twitter, I do not think the response from authorities would be silence.

@explaintrade.com Who did this?

I'm drawing a parallel with Elon Musk's Grok X-bot generating underage CSAM...

@explaintrade.com Ooohhhh, I see. Anthopomorphizing the GAIs used to do this. Well, I detest Musk as much as anyone, but I do feel this is a bit of a stretch.

@mike @explaintrade.com I think Dmitry is pointing out the duality of "its ok when the AI does it, but its not ok if a human does it. Why do we hold AI to different, more acceptable standards than humans, if the _harm_ caused is the same.. or worse?"

@tezoatlipoca BTW., is your username a riff on Monty Python's "How not to be seen" sketch?

@tezoatlipoca @explaintrade.com Yeah, I now get that that's what he was doing. My problem with this framing is that it makes the GAI itself equivalent to a human, which it obviously is not. The blame rests not with a poorly configured computer program, but with the people who configured it […]

"Nooo, it's the AI doing it, not me" This is one of the most attractive promises of AI - the ability to deflect blame to the technology. Whether we allow individuals and companies to get away with it will determine whether AI becomes a productive tool or follows in the footsteps of crypto.

I think it's worse than crypto because it directly creates the awful shit rather than just being an easier way to launder the profits.

It has far more social influence, that's for sure. Hard agree. Shady money stuff has always gone on, AI is so much more than that.
