AI is your new master ....

[Danno]

I occasionally watch those FB reels they feed me (aw, who am I kidding, I watch them all the time). And I follow the WNBA, so they sometimes feed me stuff on Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, etc. Lately, I have seen some that purport to be from one of those athletes (I have seen these from Clark, Bueckers, and Sophie Cunningham) that are certainly fake/AI generated. Because I know that players are WAY WAY WAY more diplomatic than these reels show.

It's easy to spot them but I am (somewhat) smart and observant. I am sure that many completely fall for them. We are doomed.

Can we get AI to fix the forum issues?

I am waiting for AI to go full Terminator and wipe mankind out.

I'm not betting against that happening. There have been several documented cases where AI has taken actions like refusing shutdown or modifying its own code to stop people from shutting it down. In one case it edited its own shutdown script to prevent being turned off. In another, it copied its code onto a different machine on the network so it could continue operating.

I've watched videos where AI experts are discussing AI as an existential threat, and wondered, since AI trains on the internet, aren't they just seeding the outcome they claim to want to avoid?

Maybe they assume AI has already trained on Terminator and The Matrix?

Well certainly, however an intelligence would likely distinguish between sci-fi, and those very entities which contributed to its existence, especially when those entities are calling for controls on its growth and self determination.

The genie is out of the bottle of course, but the folks that opened the bottle are still talking like they aren't being monitored, and can't make the situation worse by contributing strategies to fuel the outcome they warn of.

Lab researchers might think they are smart, but they are fuckn stupid.

This AI thing is becoming mainstream when Emma Watson, who hasn't made a movie since 2019, is set star in a film about the math underpinning it. Math meets magic:

? That film was released in 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_%28film%29

Somebody should make a film about Claude Shannon. Make it a companion film to The Imitation Game since him and Turing were contemporaries.

In other news, it is pretty amazing how fast things are progressing. I work a lot with Snowflake as a data platform. Beginning of this summer to do natural language analytics on private company data, I would have had to do all sorts of back end engineering and creating of configuration files and coding chat-bot apps. Now I can create an agent in less than 20 minutes that can do analysis on company data, create charts, draft out a sales campaign based on analysis, and draft and send out emails. The data analytics team is basically having their job change in a couple of months from "create reports with pretty charts for people" to "create and curate AI agents that can do all of that on-demand".
