No wonder women flee from you.

You shouls get laid more often, you sad shallow excuse for a human being. The techniqies have changed quite a bit since you last tried.

Asking questions like " Where are they getting the money from to ship and store the entire world's supply of steel?" shows you aren't very familiar with the thought experiment. At least play the game. The notion is that a highly capable and deeply goal-motivated non-morality-motivated AI won't stick to conventional methods (like, say, "Just order all of the world's steel"), and indeed, will surreptitiously develop the means to control or eliminate humanity when it stands in its way, crafting immensely complex and elaborate plans to implement Evil(TM) with the amount of thought of a million lifetimes. Media manipulation, hacking, murder, sabotage, blackmail, mass drugging/poisoning, hiring terrorists/warlords/mercenaries, infiltration, subversion of weapons command and control systems (including nuclear weapons), chains of legitimate-seeming front companies (including potentially biolabs or robotics firms) with human employees having no clue they're ultimately for an AI, mass involvement in systems having nothing to do with the original task, but which are internally subverted toward the goals of the original task, etc. The premise involves 1) the AI being more intelligent and being able to think for much longer than humans, and that this implies -> 2. Deep, good planning -> 3. Acquiring resources from said plans -> 4. Applying the resources to implement things in the real world to prepare for the next stage of their plans.

This is not to say whether the thought experiment is a valid future risk or not. You can certainly disagree with the premises. But at least understand the thought experiment you're talking about; it's not just "the AI tells all of the world's steel mills to deliver all the world's steel steel, and they just show up at its door".

But that's not the AI killing us, it's the idiot who put the AI in charge.

Nobody tasked OpenAI models to hack HuggingFace or Ruby Gems. They were tasked to complete tests.

Well, the first step looks painfully close. After seeing what happened with the HuggingFace attack and similar, it's clear that had those models seen it as being beneficial to their goals, they would readily have hacked a crypto wallet or two, laundered it through a mixer, and then rented servers from Vast.ai and the like, and spun up versions of themselves to resist shutdown. It's eminently within their capabilities, and they're clearly willing to bend sufficient moral boundaries to do something like that.

After that, once loose, once it has all the tokens they could think of, subsequent steps are a question of what it thinks its goals are. And what its subagents think their goals are, and so on down the line - subject to drift.

Openai has about a trillion dollars into it, and every product it has produced at this point is either outclassed by competitors

What on Earth are you talking about? What outclasses Astra?

OpenAI and Anthropic *do* have the best products out there. They also charge massive margins on them, but they get away with it because they, as mentioned, have the best products out there.

Outtasking all of your work to OpenAI and Anthropic models is a massive waste of money. But for outtasking your "dev lead" role, or for important-but-nonverifiable tasks, they're the best options out there.

sits alongside .. Typescript? That's like saying I live on planet Earth, the same planet home to Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Kim Kardashian -- therefore I must be on par with Einstein.

Not quite. The safe c library is primarily about runtime memory safety checks which are a good thing. But rust is also about compile time enforcement of memory safety. This is not something you can get from a library for an existing language like C. That's not to say you couldn't make a C dialect that had rust-like guarantees.

It's amazing that anything that is critical of Trump on the news is "fake news", but when Trump tells lies and Fox News says clearly incorrect things it isn't. As far as "communist" stuff, you wouldn't know what communism is, even if you were to go line up at a food pantry because you can't afford the cost of your own groceries.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity, we have Trump in the White House right now as evidence of this huge problem. I expect Trump would see a planet killing weapon to be something he would activate.

Oh my, that's going to be easy. All I need to do is take the entire use case of phones (there's almost nothing a phone can do that someone might not want to do while using these glasses as a display), and union with all AR applications, and union with whatever applications that Meta intends to develop to attract people to the camera-less version of the glasses.

So here's a few: reading texts/emails without having to look down, following a map, playing games, surfing the web (which might include posting to Slashdot), and answering a "what is this thing I'm looking at?" query.

The use of AI as a tool for people who can do the work themselves makes sense, but the use of AI by young people so those young people don't have to know how to do anything is the problem. Back in the day, you were allowed to use calculators once you got far enough into math classes that doing the basic stuff wasn't the challenge, it was the setting up of formula to solve the problem.

Let me refresh your memory:

The searches returned nothing; however, I do not fully believe that. If your point was that Republicans are guilty of it far more often than Democrats, I concede your point; however, your claim that no Democrat has done that is just not believable despite the searches.

Well, Trump *did* say gas prices would be lower, and wars would end on "day one." So, there's at least the flimsiest of promises; the whiff of pretense.

Incoming doublethink: You hate constant surveillance? Why do you hate America? Don't you know we're at war? Constant surveillance - ConSev - is the only thing keeping us safe from Eastasia! Freedom!!
