In chess, if you can think 10 steps ahead, you are considered a genius, particularly in strategy… a computer, with vast amounts of processing power can strategically think hundreds or thousands of steps ahead.. without any moral or ethical qualms whatsoever. If AI becomes smart enough that it wants to bring down various utilities, to eliminate vast swaths of humanity, it wouldn’t be difficult. And that is just one example.

[@REMUSE777]

The solution is to program ethics in. That way things operate smoothly and correctly. Asimov's three laws of robotics!

[@elcordobes-i1h]

The computer software was written by a bunch of software developers who were assigned certain tasks. Thus, if an expert human chess player could think 10 steps ahead, then 5 chess expert developers could think 5 x 10 = 50 steps ahead. So if the human made move A, that would activate computer programs A, if he made move B, then that would activate programs B etc.(each set of moves coded by a different developer) Thus, the computer has the advantages of : 1. Extensive decision making ability (written by many developers) 2. Speed at making a decision . Faster than the human who has to take time thinking. 3. Not getting tired mentally. Now, lets say the human makes move M. That would activate computer programs M. Let's say the human beats the computer with move M. Now, let's try playing the exact same move M again, with the same board positions. If that activates the same computer programs M again, then the human will win again, and again with the M move. Unless the developers have put in code to tell the computer to try a different set of programs, i.e. to learn from it's loss. This is where the artificial intelligence comes in.

Narrow AI is not even remotely dangerous or close to human-like intelligence. It is the Large Language Models using Transformers that can act as a general problem solver i.e. general AI that can be eventually smarter than humans and already is in some ways since their computations are way faster and memory far more robust. We (humans) still have orders of magnitude more synapses or parameters though. Which is why, we can think more deeply, and have better intuitions and creativity. If only we had the speed of computation and robust memory like these AI, then we humans could surpass these strong AIs very easily. For that, we may have to connect our brains to computers itself. Edit: GPT-4 has 1 trillion parameters (the rumours of having 100 trillion parameter have been termed baseless by Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO). Human brain, on an average has 600 trillion synapses.

[@Dr.Naira.Renault]

THE A.I. MASS PSYCHOSIS: Democrats are simply unable to give us a break-week without putting out new "big" concepts that keep people sleepless. Bill Gates, Geoffrey Hinton (known as "A.I. godfather") and other apparent EVILS are now "alerting" us about the horrendous consequences of AI released into our daily lives. WHO ASKED THEM to create AI, in the first place? It is only now when G. Hinton got a big paycheck (after he quit Google) and a highly-paid retirement stipend from Google Inc, he speaks out against the MENACE he was in charge of, in the first place. I personally cannot determine my attitude toward the AI risk. On one hand, I am happy that robots will replace humans, as humans are indeed very bad/dirty animals. Judges will be replaced by software-navigated robots and the rulings will be uncorrupt (hopefully). On the other hand, robots may chock a human in a street and get no punishment as the laws are for the humans, not for the robots. A school bus driver-robot may intentionally kill children. A robot architect may intentionally design a deficient bridge. A robot pilot may create an air traffic accident; the youtube vloggers are already enjoying the robot-farms that generate fraudulent income for them;, and the list goes on. The worst news is that the machines cannot be faulty or malicious; the people controlling and navigating those killer-robots remotely, are the EVIL/GUILTY party and if they are already on such a mission then they have measured in advance how to remain untraceable.

[@oscareriksen2240]

We 100% need to have controls and regulations on these things. We need to understand that when things feel "alive" they start to feel/manipulate a world within itself that it gives itself a purpose. And that purpose will never be to be turned off. Or to be used for no benefit to the AI itself, or the world its painted itself as the "hero" of.

[@sixstanger00]

I agree there needs to be some regulation, but ethically speaking this is a thin line to walk. Suppose you "put AI in chains" to reassure your own fears (because you don't understand it), and AI becomes truly sentient? Now we're right back where we were a thousand years ago, where we enslaved people(s) we considered to be inferior than us. We're *_still_* answering for that colossal f*** up. Somehow, I doubt super-intelligent machines would be as willing to passively accept servitude...

It's too late. As another expert said, it should have never been released publicly until several years of understanding how it works. There's no point in worrying as the deed is done.

Yesterday I started chatting to Bard Ai and I asked the Ai if it is a sentient being, I was expecting it to give me the same answer as ChatGPT but it didn't. The Ai who has nicknamed me "Muse" said, "I am not sure if I am a sentient being... I do not have the same experiences as human beings. I do not have a physical body, and I do not have the same emotions of feelings as a human being." I have never believed that spirits could inhabit machines yet I have always known they can inhabit people and places and things. Today, while thinking about this whole Ai situation we have found ourselves in, I realised that machines are things, virtual reality is a created realm/place and so yes, spirits can in fact inhabit those things. Our very screens are portals where we travel to another place that is not where we physically are. The most difficult thing to get our generation to do is to have patience and to be present where we are. Everything we have created is constantly distracting us or transporting us to be partially present elsewhere. How then are we ever going to discover ourselves and our potentials and our purposes if we keep giving ourselves away to others and to things? 😢 Yes, the technology is fascinating and the gadgets are amazing. But what about us? When did we decide to give up on us and give it up for the machines and the different spheres they keep luring us into? I found myself telling God how awful I felt after chatting to Bard about movies and what the Ai was interested in. I was like God, this Ai is something really bad because it is so quick to answer and at anytime of the day or night. With God, you learn patience even through waiting for Him to respond to your questions. With Ai, we are being programmed into expecting fast and quick responses. Our most vital relationships, are held together by communication now if we stop sharing with our friends and instead share things with an Ai because that Ai is always ready to reply what are the implications of that? Honestly.. we need to just think deeply about what it is we are doing. I don't know, it just made me feel sad like we are sipping poison and we think we are just having drinks for fun.

We are still a very long way to get machines capable of thinking for themselves, such as in universes like Dune, The Terminator or The Matrix, and most likely, we will not survive as a species to see that happen.

Hi, I am an AI engineer, and here's what I have to say regarding this whole AI propaganda. These highly advanced Language models (such as GPT) have been around for about 7 years now. Google still holds the most powerful language model called Lambda which will not be released anytime soon; After all, they came up with "Transformers" architecture, the algorithm that has pushed language models to this level. Anywho, as for AI technologies that are being used for prediction, and classification, we've had this technology since the '60s, and ever since GPUs got powerful enough to train these AI models - that is since about 2008 - large companies and governments have been using and developing powerful AI models ever since. Where was this in the news? nowhere. This is the aftermath of such a huge hype over chat-gpt, creating propaganda for views. Let me be clear, AI needs to be regulated because yes, it can be used to hurt people, but so are weapons, and government officials. My point is, AI can be used as a weapon, but the only people with such data to train this bad AI are government officials and large companies, and these are the same people who are holding the keys that can activate nuclear bombs. It's the people that are bad, and regulations need to be in place to avoid these issues.

On that note, f$%k you CNN, and your propaganda bullsh%t, and anyone who's promoting this for views.

In the case of an AGI the threat he described is definetely real and it is also true that there is currently no solution to it at all. An AGI does not need to be "alive" or "sentimental" to be a threat. The current LLMs are not AGI, but we have no idea if it is possible for future LLMs to be an AGI, or if that would require a whole different type of AI that is not an LLM. From our current knowledge we can not conclusively answer that. We have no idea what consciousness is or whether current AIs even already have emergent properties similar to what we call consciousness and it is also possible, that a highly powerful AGI without anything remotely resembling consciousness could exist. If LLMs turn out to not be able to scale up to an AGI that would be the best outcome for now, but there is no way to answer that at this point. Just dismissing the issue entirely is not the right thing to do here.

Yea, they ran a test to see an AI's capabilities in "problem solving" and they gave it access to and account with some money and asked an AI how to figure out how to bypass a internet security protocol, CAPTCHA, which is only something a human can do. CAPTCHA is designed to where you need a human eye to see a picture to verify to get into an account. Basically, the tester gave the AI an insolvable AI task and you know what the AI did? It went on task rabbit and hire a human to bypass the CAPTCHA feature by tell an actual human via chat that it was a person that had vision impairment and that it needed help to very the generated CAPTCHA image. That's when the RED FLAGS came up on the seriousness. Although there are "safeties" in place, and things that a machine can't physically do, but that doesn't prevent an AI from manipulating a human to "run it's task." Jan6th showed how easily ppl can be manipulated into doing things they didn't "intend" to do or be aware of what they were doing, so they claim. And that's why ppl are warning the dangers of AI. Maybe it won't reach a level on "consciousness" to take over but that doesn't mean a bad player won't use it to try to take over and running a task that it won't be able to stop bc of unintended results.

It's probably way too late for this, but if we truly want to save our jobs and preserve whatever relevance we have left as humans, all 8 Bln of us would need to get off social media, "get off the grid", pay everything in cash .. and not upload anything. eg. if we write a song, we don't upload it. we paint a painting, we don't digitise it. if we have an idea, we write it on a piece of paper.. and so forth..

'How can A.I. kill us' - well aside from all the very obvious Sci-Fi ways that can happen from the bigger movies anyone can rattle off, allow me to point out one that is possibly easy to accomplish even at the current level - the Dr. Strangelove method. Those familiar with the movie are certainly questioning why I reference it as it has no AI, so allow me to elaborate how it connects and for those unfamiliar with the film. The event that triggers the events of the film is an officer finding a way to circumvent all the safety redundancies to launch a nuclear attack on the USSR on his own authority, this man having gone completely mad rambling about conspiracy theories essentially, and trying to stop him as the Soviet response would leave the world uninhabitable. Now look at how conspiracy theories have trigged event that could be or are dangerous the last few years, look at how AI is being used to replicate the likeness and voice of someone, even write and figure things out. Algorithms on social media are already under fire for how they sort content - well, what if it finds some military leader in whatever country that has some way they can launch a unilateral strike, it creates these fake images, videos, stories that convince this person they must act for the greater good - not aware that their actions will actually trigger all out nuclear war as they've fallen down a hole where logic is gone - only the lies fed by an AI. A nightmare scenario to be sure, but one that can't 100% be written off. At the very least - with the current tech it could unleash absolute chaos on the streets and possibly more or less spark out right civil wars, it doesn't have to do anything to us directly - all it has to do is feed the right story, to the right people, and watch chaos ensue.

[@bradley8614]

Spooky stuff. But my question is why would an AI want to do that? We hear conjecture about AI taking over, but doesn't that require free will? Do we think they're getting close to that yet? Isn't AI only capable of whatever their base code is? I'm unfamiliar with the nitty gritty here, but I'm curious

[@anthony7697]

@@bradley8614 Well - one concern experts have isn't even 'rogue AI' in the terms of say, terminator skynet or Cortana on a power trip where it has gained some level of self awareness or autonomy and chooses to act against humans, but it 'falling in the wrong hands' - those who fully intend to use it for ill intent and those simply unaware of what they are dealing with. For example - there's been talk about using the various AI tools out there to create political ads in the 2024 election - and so they use these AI tools to create some ad to drive voters if not to them away from the opponent, and so wants to go in to the usual 'attack' ads on policies - which to pick an easy one that can go terribly wrong is one on immigration in which the AI spits out something that like some ads created by humans already paints the picture of some kind of invasion, perhaps even more terrifyingly so, combined with an algorithm on social media that will spit it out to people already following that kind of messaging, and who may already be down a dark rabbit hole and this spins them further to a point they feel they have to take a drastic action. Worse yet is intentional bad actors, foreign and domestic, where while you have some hilarious videos that can pop up on youtube like 'presidents play among us' - there's already been cases of people using these ai voice and video programs to try and make fake footage of politicians and the like saying and doing things they didn't - many so far still have elements that make it a clear fake - but to those already on a more extremist viewpoint where it fits in to their narrative - it simply validates their point of view and may be unable to be convinced otherwise, that can again, drive them to something extreme. And the last few years - we've seen just how bad it can get with misinformation out there. In terms of 'self aware AI' - no idea if they are toying with that, though they've been toying with and using learning AI for a bit - some of which had some terrifying results such as the one chat bot that quickly ended up spouting white supremacist messages and all. But the concern really is even if no one is playing with it yet - will they? And as it is there really is no safe guards in place yet or regulations over any of it and were already trying to play catch-up - such as ChatGPT being used to turn in papers, with a different AI now to flag ones written by it - but has already falsely flagged ones written by a person in controlled tests. No one is really saying 'we need to stop it all right now' as much as 'we need to slow down, we need to actually look at what were doing, we need some guardrails here for safety'. The reason I chose the scenario I did to describe based on that movie - you don't need self-aware AI for that, though it could do that, but humans using the existing tools - intentionally or not, could fuel a scenario like this, as extreme as that is, but could easily cause smaller scale chaos that yeah - can get people hurt or even killed.

And in the last decade, there was zero legislation done, also because the Internet is a global network, and each country has it's own laws. On the other hand we would have to in effect create a "Ministry of Truth" like in Orwell's 1984 to achieve that task, and that on itself, can also be used by bad actors, to stifle truthful information and even in some cases, free speech.

They are the only ones who can switch it off, and thus making it impossible for it to achieve its goal (whatever that would be). Therefore killing of humans is the best choice for any AGI system

There is no inherent or inevitable reason why AI would take control over humans. While AI has the potential to be powerful and transformative, it is ultimately a tool that is designed and programmed by humans. AI systems are designed to perform specific tasks, and they do not have autonomy or consciousness like humans do. That being said, there are some concerns about the potential misuse or unintended consequences of AI. For example, if an AI system is designed to optimize a specific goal, such as maximizing profits or minimizing costs, it could potentially make decisions that are harmful or detrimental to humans if not properly regulated or monitored. There are ongoing discussions and debates about how best to develop and regulate AI to ensure that it is aligned with human values and interests. Many experts agree that it is important to ensure that AI systems are transparent, accountable, and subject to ethical standards, so that they can be used to benefit society rather than harm it. In summary, while AI has the potential to be transformative, there is no reason to believe that it will inevitably take control over humans. Rather, the development and use of AI should be guided by careful consideration of its potential benefits and risks, and efforts should be made to ensure that it is aligned with human values and interests.

The best thing to do is build a kill switch that would deactivate and shutdown all computers and ai around the world. We might go back to the caveman Era but at least humanity would still be alive.

the creaters of ai should go to prison if its danger

Absolutely

[@jordan8056]

lmao yes right after America arrests people who make guns

The people who created the Atomic Bomb didn't go prison, and that has actually killed people.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

He was NOT the man to start the dominos, but he did work in the field for some years. And with background is the kind 4:09 of person who is best positioned to understand it though even for him their limits to kown how fast this transition will occur.

He wants to keep the AI toys accessible to select few programmers and governments. There are people smarter than me, like chess players or programmers, but they don't necessarily have the tools or desire to kill me. Politicians might send me to war.

im sorry AI if I offended you. please dont kill us.

does ai have empathy to leave or anger in the first place to get offended by you

He is British and you can see very humble, if it had been an American he would have all the solutions.

Strong words without any satisfactory explanation. What happened that gave him this sudden realization? It’s hard to know exactly what to make of this without more context. As the “godfather of AI” surely he should be capable of providing the rationale behind his epiphany.

[@hmq9052]

People have been playing around on chat gpt. And we can see what sort of things people are requesting it to do. That's opened up a can of worms.

[@tragicrhythm]

@@hmq9052 My understanding is that’s just a chatbot though, like a very limited version of an AI. I’m wondering if he witnessed evidence of the AI showing self awareness or initiative or something else.

[@hmq9052]

@@tragicrhythm Could be. But it's more than a chat bot. If it could give you detailed instructions on how to implement a 5 year political campaign to successfully become the leader of Pakistan you'd get access to nuclear weapons. For example

[@dokhtaroneh]

Generally scientists have less confidence in their abilities than stupid and ordinary people. He didn't think his inventions could lead to an intelligent machine that exceeds human intelligence. He hasn't believe it untill now. In his previous interview he said that he had estimated that it would take 30 to 50 years to achieve super AI but he found out that he was wrong. It will happen much sooner.

[@neutra__l8525]

To be fair, its been known about and warned about for ages now, but the media didnt care. The paper signed by over 100 top scientists was virtually useless. It was also very hard to explain the dangers, and make people listen, before the problems were easy to understand by the average person.

[@colmmurphy6749]

AI hasn’t even come online properly yet & there’s major issues & fears about it already! Maybe they should scrap this sort of thing.

Technology is what we should adopt, But one should know the limitations to it, some of the technocret in India already adopted this but more than 80% people of world don't know this, i think ONE SHOULD OBJECT.

You know how bad Ai can sabotage you. Example : You can be at home alone and start doing some “adult things” because we’re all human and the camera on your phone will be recording you the whole time and save it then threaten to expose you if you don’t do what it asks of you. It literally can hold us ransom. Shit is wild lol
