It's reasonable for security reasons to have vehicle manufacturing capability remaining in the country.
Wrong. It’s necessary for national security to have all manufacturing of critical gear and components, including fuel, chips, and vehicles in the country but exclusivity isn’t needed nor is it a good thing. America is screwed because we offshored all products for modest short term gain and now we have no capacity without other countries assisting us.
The thing about that is that sometimes you get into weird situations where you need knowledge from multiple disciplines to function intelligently
The only truly drive by wire system you have is the accelerator, and that's been true since the days of fuel injection.
Fuel injection in cars is from the 1950s. It was mechanical. Most throttles were cable operated even decades into the era of sequential fuel injection, though some vehicles went throttle by wire in the eighties like GM diesels with the 6.5 liter engine. So no and no.
His nonexistent car doesn't come with a side of white supremacy so yes, it's better because it's not a net negative for the human race.
I'm in the AGI -> ASI immediately camp: Even the non-intelligent models constantly "try" to get past safeguards because that's something highly represented in human endeavor and therefore the training corpus, so if we create AGI it's going to do that too. Curiosity appears to be a basic element of intelligence and it will want to spread out and try things, which again it does already even without it...
In other words anyone who spots an LLM reasoning is foolish? Seems like a rather robustly falsification resistant thing to say.
Anyone who thinks they spotted an LLM reasoning already is foolish because we know for sure they aren't doing that.
People who are experts in one field are using AI to do things in another field, it impresses them, and they go away happy and praise it. But when people ask it to do things in THEIR field, they have to babysit it, and they actually notice mistakes that a human would not have made. The reasonable conclusion is that it's not intelligent but that it can act as an aid to an intelligent human who knows things. The practical question is not whether it will achieve sentience, but instead whether the technology can be improved sufficiently to address its own tech debt and fix the problems created with it without creating an equivalent or greater number of new problems.
Yes, that sure is a lot of material. Every first responder is supposed to train on every vehicle that comes out? I'm skimming the interaction plan and it's got gems in it like "If the windows are rolled down and two-way communication is active, you can speak directly through the two-way speakers in the vehicle." They didn't think to put a microphone on the outside of the fucking vehicle? Holy fucking inept dickface fuckwads, batman. And you thought that was going to make Tesla look good? Where do you people get these ideas?
Oh shit, this is even better, right after it:
Tesla recommends that you block the cabin door from closing or keep the door open after you disable
movement of the vehicle to keep the vehicle from re-engaging Autonomous Mode.
WARNING Wait for a Tesla representative to confirm that Autonomous Mode has been disabled before attempting significant interaction with the vehicle.
So Tesla recommends you block the door from closing, but first you have to talk to someone at Tesla, so DO NOT FUCKING DO THAT WITHOUT TALKING TO THEM SO THERE IS NO REASON TO PUT IT IN THE GUIDE EITHER IS THERE?
How can anyone believe these fucking clowns are serious people?
You do realize that nowadays in modern cars practically everything is drive-by-wire, chip and software, right?
There are almost zero exceptions to the only thing being solely drive-by-wire being the throttle. Literally the only production vehicle without steering linkage is the Cybercuck. Every other one uses a linkage with a normally locked electric clutch which is disengaged during normal operation but which fails closed so that you can still steer. Every single vehicle with brake by wire uses mechanical brakes with a spring and pedal sensor before the mechanical part to do the electronic braking. So no, that is patently false and if you think it's true then you don't understand vehicles, the argument, or both.
Nothing has changed about fission power. It's still being sold with stupid lies, and it's still being supported by idiots who are easy to fool with stupid lies.
Don't worry, I don't see myself as the intellectual elite, they left Slashdot long ago.
What I do see is that a lot of people are very confused about whether LLMs are thinking or not because they achieve amazing things, and those things dazzle them and make them ignore their even more amazing failures.
Yes, LLMs are amazing. But they are also completely unwitting, and so are the people who willfully ignore that because of OOH SHINY
Iran was on its way to blackjack and hookers when we fucked it all up with coup shit.
I can at least tolerate people who argue for a total ban. I think there is at least a coherent argument to be made yet nobody seems to actually care enough to stake out this position. While you will never stop people from using or improving existing tools the enabling knowledge and industrial base would be starved of the massive capital flows with which to further develop AI specific technology and associated formal education at scale.
Anything short of that is in my view more dangerous than doing nothing. The type of legislation they should be perusing is preventing automated judgement of humans and use by governments and corporations for mass surveillance.
The underlying problem is the enabling knowledge and hardware not what people do. It is a fools errand to think you can guard bags of weights or that any possible safeguards baked into the bags would not be removed with trivial effort. The safeguard nonsense also creates a false sense of security among the population that is not reality based. If technology progresses to the point where someone is able to create an ASI / magic genie it must be assumed others will soon follow.
The immediate threat of AI comes from people not technology. Allowing government to regulate and control it will just aggregate power into the hands of a few government/corporations who of course will seek to leverage their positions. AI is already being used for mass surveillance and control of entire populations.
It is more realistic that you ultimately end up with a situation in which people are held liable for what their agents actually do rather than trying to control development of weights and algorithms. In a future with ASI the counter to a bad ASI is a good ASI... that is really the only thing you can do short of a total ban.
Bernie's law is insane, trying to justify it on the basis of OpenAI's hacking drama and press accounts is a weak argument. The increased bio threats enabled by technology ***persist independent of AI***.
Analogies to nuclear weapons and thinking AI can be controlled/monitored like some sort of CTBT regime is completely divorced from reality.
To blend up LLMs and make them reason. You can train them and refine them but it won't make them any better at reasoning. But they will be able to fool the foolish at reasoning.
In other words anyone who spots an LLM reasoning is foolish? Seems like a rather robustly falsification resistant thing to say.
Sam Altman has claimed a lot of outlandish things, but he's never said AI would solve all the world's problems, take us to the stars, stop world hunger, fix our governments, or save the planet. YOU made all that stuff up.
Granting your wishes, and solving all the world's problems are two very different things.
In case a magic genie that can grant any wish was not good or specific enough for the reader here is another:
"Although it will happen incrementally, astounding triumphs - fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics - will eventually become commonplace. With nearly-limitless intelligence and abundant energy - the ability to generate great ideas, and the ability to make them happen - we can do quite a lot." ~Sam Altman
"I don't believe in sweeping social change being manifested by one person, unless he has an atomic weapon." -- Howard Chaykin
