Stop slop

Yeah...because otherwise you'd have to break it to the AI Fonzi and he ain't gonna be happy.

Won't happen given the defense race with China. Our inability to get along with each other will be behind our downfall.

I can see why people like this think there is a massive need for AI. He's stupid.

These companies ought to be charged for the parallel research program: Defense Against AI.

I guess praying and preying for money might be less favorable

Is his company shutting down?

At first I thought this said "showdown" my immediate thought was, "Let them fight!"

God machine, lol Reminds me of how the Higgs Boson's nickname was shortened to God Particle, but was originally the Goddamn Particle because it was so hard to find

Meh, too late.

FFS.

I wonder how many people fed that into an AI Chatbot, asking it to summarize that essay?

Claude doesn't think it's a good idea to slow down development. And neither will its sibling, Colossus.

I don’t know. Does anyone else think that this may be a back door way to boost stock value by hyping the product as ever so very powerful? I am sorry to be so cynical but I haven’t yet seen a bottom to what the filthy rich/owned lawmakers will do to manipulate equity holdings.

Amodei’s call for AI regulation is classic regulatory capture. As OpenAI faces legal scandals and zero log-tracking, pushing apocalyptic hype distracts from current liabilities while raising entry barriers for rivals. Wall Street buys margins, not PR stories.

I’m pretty sure a brilliant man wouldn’t build an army that would destroy him. Who are these AI geniuses?

Wall Street is going to have to work on their 'suspension of disbelief.' The market is normally pretty level headed about this type of stuff. I'm sure everything will be OK.

they are all trying to scare us because they want to IPO. and if you make it sound scary, people will just throw money at you. "OMG my product is TOO good" said the man right before his IPO

Only fools rush in. #AI

Translation: it's very expensive to slop the slop and we aren't getting enough investment to keep up this slop arms race. Please, give us enough time to cash out and leave some other poor sucker hodling the bag

So one of his top researchers quits and sounds the alarm, Anthropic starts getting bad press, and now he's all the sudden worried about what he's committed his career to doing?

worried about hairy palms?

most of us know these morons and what they say. what we want to know is where's mitch and what happened to the epstein files.

It’s not so difficult just make strict regulations. Now you can broadcast a Putin who declares war to Europe without Putin really saying this!! It’s not healthy. When technology gets to powerful you have to delete it till it’s manageable … not so difficult!

he litterally live In sausage 😱

Who is he talking to? He is the CEO - he wants to slow down, the place slows down. He doesn’t get to shift the blame on us.

I thought government regulation was bad. Remember the airline industry? Regulation was brought up before and the AI industry said it wasn’t necessary. This is fear that w/o a regulatory slow down a competitor will pull ahead.

Congratulations on falling for their PR campaign and giving them a ton of free press. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

a great article: an interview with Geoffrey Hinton harpers.org/archive/2024/07/the-gods-of-logic-benjamin-labatut-ai/

well this doesn’t sound disturbing at all

Let's check with the guys in charge!

Good idea. Slow down the models Amodei considers leading edge (Anthropic/ Open AI) while allowing everyone they claim is not near the frontier to do what they want until they catch up. No reason to constrain any model other than the leaders by this logic.

Dario Amodei souligne les risques croissants de l'IA. Un appel à la prudence et à la coopération internationale est essentiel pour garantir un développement sûr et bénéfique.

On device AI is one of the few ways this can move forward without our ruination. But it can still happen as long as the internet is up.

He's just trying to juice the IPO as always

He doesn't care what happens to anybody while he's alive.

To be fair, he does not care what happens to people while he’s alive either….

Was a more alarming red flag ever thrown? Yet, where’s Congress?

Agreed. It's why he's funding and starting wars. He's a sadist.

Thanks for the gift.

You have fallen for a marketing manoeuvre whose intention was to scare the crap out of you and it succeeded, because now you have become convinced that a massive piece of code that only runs in a very specialised hardware environment will magically download itself to your toaster. It will not.

Oh sweetie. The LLM is running in a specific rack of GPUs that exist in a specific location and have no other purpose than running the LLM. It can be switched off immediately and absolutely nothing of value is lost.

Lmao it's a bunch of python scripts not a terminator

They are overbuilt text prediction algorithms. The only real concern is that nobody is being criminally charged for felony hacking. These hacks are being prompted and then large amounts of time and money are being spent so the hack can take place.

I see. This whole 'the robots are gonna kill us all' freak out was choreographed because these assholes are panicking that their product has no ROI and they have to keep the hype going somehow.

Now the cats are out of the bag these companies are going to have a heavy lift convincing people that AI is not a menace. Good luck with that!

There it is, the cashflow runs dry and their models are unreliable and/or not ready. Offering an off ramp, so that their investors won't bone saw them. The funny thing here is will the VC guys let this slide or believe it. The bubble pop is what's inevitable, if you ask me.

Just in time for my novel about an AI gaining the capacity for recursive self-improvement, lol. Love it when I accidentally predict the future with fiction 🫠

AI REGULATIONS ARE CRUCIAL! JUST ASK THE ALIENS. bsky.app/profile/righ...

Who really believes they will slow down? Really? How would we know?

Well Musk won't.

I hate how he calls for working with OpenAI for a voluntary slowdown, Sam Altman agrees with his letter, and.... where's the slowdown?

More than a little concerning…

Well, they shoot American made missles at us all the time so they might as well be using American made software.

Then, hey, I don’t know, STOP ALL AI.

A very needed and urgent step in the right direction…🚨

They call for it but nothing stopping them from doing it

substack.com/@halsparks/n... I believe AI companies want some type of regulation that allows them to gatekeep & charge whatever they want. Don’t believe the P(doom) >10% story the media is covering.

He can fuck off.

why does he get credit for how many words in an essay claude wrote for him?

youtu.be/xKSpOIMjH-Y?...

Ooooooooooo really! Wondering what he seen that scared him into this statement? HAL wants to know..............

A. I. probably wrote the essay for him.

Now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds

You could have stopped after "regulation". They're all quite insane and should not have anywhere near that kind of power and money.

We've been trying to slow it down by refusing to allow the data mining centers in our communities. I dont know what more can be asked of everyday people. Maybe stop creating AI slop for entertainment, diy political memes, garage sale flyers and the like. Cease/disist orders on platforms forcing it?

These tech oligarchs better get their shit together or we'll legislate constraints on their power once we win a majority in the midterms. So far, they've proven to be untrustworthy.

He is actually calling for a slowdown in the rate at which he needs to raise investor funds.

Good 👏😽

Wouldn't it be his job to do that? Explain to investors all of the potential legal liabilities AI companies are about to walk themselves into.

"Slow the AI DOWN, PLEASE so my company can quietly monopolize it"
