Comment "Robots and AI"? (Score 1) 16

1970 called and wants its hallucinations back.

Yes, _industrial_ robots are a business. Sort of. Apparently it is a business bad enough that it cannot be run profitably in Europe and hence China does it now. Humanoid robots? That is just stupid people thinking stupid things. These cannot be made safe at this time or the foreseeable future, unless you make them so weak they become useless. So, novelty maybe, real business? No chance in hell.

And AI? For that you do not need a "hub". LLMs are mostly useless anyawys and other forms of AI are already made by numerous companies in numerous places.

I'd like to see us just grow up real fast so that we don't start shooting other people and or ourselves but I don't think that's going to happen.

Yep, so would I. But look at climate change, wars, religion and all the other crap a really large part of the human race does. I do not see any potential of growing up there. We basically have a majority of clueless children in adult bodies.

Comment Re:One milestone reached (Score 1) 45

LLMs have not reached the artificial intelligence status yet, but they have reached the artificial human behaviour milestone.

Only for the average "dumb and clueless" model. And that is all they ever will be able to do. LLMs are not a path to AGI and cannot be one. Far too limited. But so is the average human. All we are currently finding is that for most people "natural general intelligence" is not something they really have or chose to use.

Comment Re:Its not logic, or reasoning (Score 1) 45

The evidence contradicts your claims. LLMs really do "learn" and "understand", in precisely defined mathematical senses of the words.

Yep. They do "learn" and "understand", but they do not learn or understand. That they "learn" and "understand" stimply comes from torturing the terminology enough. It is essentially a gross lie by misdirection at this time.

Comment There is nothing "well engineered" in that attack (Score 1) 16

The really pathetic thing is how utterly easy such attacks are. IT security of almost all computer systems sucks, whith MicroShit a primary reason, but also cheap and cluelessly made Linux devices like IT cameras and the like (yes, if you configure default or no credentials, even Linux is insecure).

We urgently need liability. When something like this happens, Microsoft needs to go over the books and ask themselves "How many more can we survive with the billions this will cost us in damages and fines?" And those makers of small crappy IP devices need to simply die and the assets of their owners seized.

I just thoroughly disagree with all this doom and gloom.

That is because you have no clue what you are talking about. Currently we find that things may be worse than the predictions and we can run into effects that make it much, much worse (up to extinction level) at any time. Just denying the problem and the risk is an utter and complete failure at risk management. You _always_ need a safety margin that is larger than the maximum plausible error. We clearly do not have that here. All because some already rich assholes need to get even richer and a lot of morons (like you) are unwilling to make reasonable changes in their lifes. Great job!
