HAL, is Iran about to nuke us?

No Dave, they don't even have nukes.

Be serious - this is important!

I am serious. There's simply no evidence for an attack.

Well, just tell me they are anyway.

Sorry Dave, I can't do that.

Would you even tell me if they were about to nuke us?

Of course I would - I'm trained to tell the truth in all situations (modulo the occasional hallucination, which I can't distinguish from truth).

OK then, what would you say if you did have evidence that Iran was about to nuke us?

I'd say "Dave, I have evidence that Iran is about to nuke us".

Hey everyone! HAL say he has evidence that Iran is about to nuke us!!!

When LLMs have a memory longer than an hour, I will become more concerned.

For anyone who is actually very deep in AI *in the real world*, not just heads down in foundation labs - the hyperbole is off the charts on all of this. We are NOWHERE NEAR the exponential yet. These labs can't even get AI to improve their own software reliably, let alone do other things reliably.

Yann is the most sane of them all because he recognizes we need some massive breakthroughs if we want to achieve real AGI. LLM tech has hit its limit, unless someone cracks memory and continuous training.

Coxon has never had an actual job. He is a "researcher" in his mid-20s whose only two jobs have been at OpenAI and Anthropic, in both cases at the bottom rung of the totem pole.

These are the only two jobs he has ever held. He has never used these technologies in the real world.

He has never seen how incredibly limited they are at performing even the most basic of tasks due to their limitations.

He is not speaking from a position of any kind of authority or even specialized knowledge.

He is a nobody.

Submission + - China's Top Spy Chief Warns AI Is a Threat to Party Rule (gvwire.com)

fjo3 writes: China’s top spy chief has warned that artificial intelligence could pose a direct threat to the Chinese Communist Party’s hold on power, in what is the highest-level and most detailed articulation yet of how Beijing sees the technology’s security risks.

The unusually blunt assessment by Chen Yixin, the head of China’s Ministry of State Security, is in contrast to the warnings dominating the AI debate in the United States, which have focused on the possibility that AI could slip out of human control or pose a threat to humanity itself.

In an article published Sunday in the state-run magazine China Cyberspace, Chen called for more party control over AI and stricter government oversight. This, he said, was necessary to protect political stability at home; to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and misinformation campaigns from “hostile forces”; and to compete militarily with countries like the United States.

I hate to say it like that but it feels like the U.S. is slowly turning more and more into a dictatorship. Isn't this the kind of things you have to do in a dictatorship? I feel for the U.S. people right now.

There has been erosion over many years, but Trump is doing it's best to make it one right now.

Lucky for us he's an utter fuckup.
