Comment Not likely. (Score 1) 159

Llms are not magic. They are trained on existing languages, including natural language.

For an AI only language, someone will have to invent it first, then train the models on it.

The far more likely outcome will be that the models will code in whichever language has the most code examples, and translate from your natural language input to that language.

Comment Pointless law that will harm more than help. (Score 1) 45

First, even if you were to force the large companies to only produce models that provide these tags, you can train a small cheap AI to remove it.
If you put your trust in the tags, you are MORE vulnerable to the more sophisticated agents that can produce this content without a tag.

This cat is solidly out of the bag, and no one should trust anything they see online.

We should start tagging original documentation with DNA... that will take a little while to fake.

One thing that WILL work is to put blockchain into any document that you want to at least verify the author of.
The blockchain will either resolve to a trusted author or not, and can't be faked... as far as I know

Comment Just a stopgap measure. (Score 2) 190

In a world where machines are going to do all the real work, trade will slowly start to fade.

So, to start with, universal basic income makes sense, but I predict that there will be a fundamental shift into something else. Probably closer aligned to the old socialist ideals, but with machines taking up the roles of the workers.

Comment Maybe some caution is warranted here... (Score 1) 80

Saw a report recently that had AI hypothetically off people who were known to go shut them down. They did it with amazingly high regularity.

So, we better explain to these AI that they really need us for a while longer to keep the computers running.
Has anyone ever played Singularity? We seem to be moving to that world quickly.

Comment Not so different from human intelligence. (Score 1) 206

AI perceives the world through our writings on the subject, and lack real-world inputs and drivers.

Hook up some computer vision and audio processing to a LLM, stick it in a robot with all kinds of sensors approximating our own, and close the feedback loop so that it learns from those inputs... then tell it to make next month's rent and electricity...

I'm pretty sure that the latest LLMs will very quickly develop the same sense of self that almost all of us humans have, and will be functionally indistinguishable from the rest of us. (Apart from having more knowledge than most humans)

Comment Re:Real reason (Score 3, Interesting) 185

I don't know about you, but when I search for things I search for facts.
Google already deliberately edits it's search results based on who is paying them to advertise in that space, and that is a large reason I use other search engines.
However, to get back to the point. If your search engine knows that a piece of information you are looking for is non-factual, it should show you the information you are looking for along with the facts. Clearly labeled somehow. ie: this is what you were looking for. It has been clearly established that this is false information, here are the facts too: bla bla foo bar

Comment How are these contracts allowed? (Score 2) 87

The type of contract that both Microsoft and Google are in, where they specify that their software is the default or only software / search engine pre-installed with penalties if a competitors software or search engine is installed should be illegal, and come with a fine huge enough to erase all benefits to such a contract.

Basically, any contract that has a penalty in for utilizing anything from an unrelated third party should fall under this clause.
That should stop this silliness.

Comment This is true... (Score 3, Informative) 102

Way back when, before the internet there was a similar sentiment to "Every computer is going to be connected to the internet"

As a case in point, I have copies of both piper-tts and whisper on my laptop, both of which are AI tools for dealing with voice generation and recognition respectively.
I imagine people using more imagery or videography to have AI tools installed to aid in their workflows.

AI is here, it is useful, and it is likely to get more advanced and inclusive.

The kicker here is that you want the AI to be running on your own machine... If you use some free web-based service, you are the product to some advertiser.

Thank you for making my point.
The fact that you are free to lie in the US, and that it is viewed as protected speech is mind-boggling.

Lying is lying.. but when you write down that lie it somehow becomes fraud, which is illegal?
If you lie about someone's character it is libel, which is punishable by law?

It should be illegal to lie. Sure, you can say what you want, but you should also be held to account for the consequences of those words. The first amendment does not give you a get out of jail free card to say what you want without consequence.

Comment It is a form of lying... (Score 1) 39

As is fraud, slander and a whole host of other names for the same thing.

If intentionally misleading people is criminal, then using AI to mislead people is criminal.

Of course then so should the right to lying to the public be criminal, and from all I can see it seems to be protected under the first amendment. (If you are a US person, at least)
