Did you post this in 10 subs at the same time?

... "becoming"?

It already is, and was designed to be, a tool for technocapital to funnel money into their coffers and manipulate the users while remaining unaccountable.

I’m not worried about AI going rogue and destroying society. I’m worried about what human assholes out in the world can do with AI.

It’s not hard to imagine how AI can have destructive powers. In Europe there was recently news about someone hacking into freezer shelves of grocery stores and turn their temperature to max. One of my local grocery stores got affected had to throw out lots of their food due to this. Not saying it’s due to AI, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some AI was involved.

This kind of attack on our food supply chain and other parts of our infrastructure could be even more large scale. Not because of some rogue superintelligence, but because some human asshole with AI is able to brute force billions of combinations of preexisting ideas faster than previously possible.

Putting the models out in the open won’t help a tiny bit. Even if it’s possible to perfectly align open models so they refuse to do these sorts of attacks, anyone could remove these safeguards by modifying its weights or train them on new data.

The answer is: ban development of frontier models until we better understand how to regulate this technology. But given the incompetency of politicians, I doubt this will happen before it’s too late.

Good article.

And I see those hidden texts, it is funny too.

i piss in the mouth of AI without permission.. I take dumps on the gipity and if that makes you sad it is because you are gipity. I give no n0 money to corpo dumps. FOMO dez duz... put that to bed... zzzzzzz

get em tiger be a hero for real.

Do RPGs Really Make Cars Fly? I am just ahead of the curve don't hate me.

Can’t disagree in principle, but of course, the article is pretty idealistic.

Yes, the tech bros want everyone talking about how dangerous AI is so regulations are made to solidify their ownership of what is probably the greatest heist against humanity the world has ever known.

The course of action a lawful and ethical government would take is to shut them down, put the thieves in prison, and demand all of the collected data be deleted since it was taken unlawfully. Of course, we all know that will never happen.

The data is also not going to be forcefully publicized. Even if the dataset were leaked, the sheer size makes it impractical to store and distribute.

Best we can realistically expect is what Chinese companies are already doing where they are opening the weights while keeping their stolen datasets private and under their own control. Not the best option, but at least it does distribute the control the oligarch would otherwise have over the tech. The Chinese companies aren’t publicizing the means of production (their stolen datasets), but they’re at least incrementally less capitalistic than their American counterparts.

Was this written in 2025? 😄

Good article but very sad that the conclusion is “make everything open and continue using this destructive technology” rather than the only logical option which is do exactly what we did with dolly and the ozone and completely ban it world wide.

AI doomerism is real but not because of any of what the AI companies are saying. It’s because it destroys knowledge, destroys the economy, worsens poverty, destroys the environment, and more.
