“We put literally no safeguards on the bot and were surprised it did unsafe things!”
Article in a nutshell
Not quite. The whole reason they isolated the bot in the first place was because they knew it could do unsafe things. Now they know what unsafe things are most likely, and can refine their restrictions accordingly.
Skynet here we come
Skynet invented time travel all on its own so it could make sure it kept existing. Don’t compare it to these pissant LLMs. That’s an insult to Skynet.
I don’t know if you watch science and futurism with Isaac Arthur, but if you don’t, you probably should. And he has a quote that I think applies quite well.
“Keep it simple, keep it dumb, or you might end up, under SkyNet’s thumb.”
We’re going to palestine?
Terminator is part of a double feature. We need to sit through Multiplicity first.
Arstechnica with an absolutely composting headline. Sigh
The word unexpectedly is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It was given the ability to modify its own code, and it did, how is that unexpected?
Well… now the paperclip thought experiment becomes slightly more prescient.
Everyone’s like, “It’s not that impressive. It’s not general AI.” Yeah, that’s the scary part to me. A general AI could be told, “btw don’t kill humans” and it would understand those instructions and understand what a human is.
The current way of doing things is just digital guided evolution, in a nutshell. Way more likely to create the equivalent of a bacteria than the equivalent of a human. And it’s not being treated with the proper care because, after all, it’s just a language model and not general AI.
Yup. A seriously intelligent AI we probably wouldn’t have to worry too much about. Morality, and prosocial behavior are logical and safer than the alternative.
But a dumb AI that manages to get too much access is extremely risky.
I for one welcome…oh wait, this isn’t that lame Spez site. Forgot where I was for a second.
That’s a Slashdot meme, though.
So it’s just like a regular researcher then?
I can’t wait until one goes rogue and escapes into the net.
That’s gonna be fun to watch.
