US Pentagon explores AI military uses | BBC News

[@marcushards910]

The problem with AI trained on language models is the tendency to escalate rather than defuse conflicts. Also AI has no sense of self-preservation which is incredibly dangerous in a MAD world.

[@francisco444]

where did you learn that LLM have a tendency to escalate conflicts? I would like to learn more about it.

[@BlackandWhitecustoms]

Humans cant be trusted so give the robots a chance. Worse case scenario humans are wiped out and we can try to do better next time around

[@francisco444]

@@samueldesbois3632 I appreciate your input, while it holds true in most cases. It doesn't say anything about LLMs which is what I'm interested in. For example, are LLMs more likely to escalate things given historical context and specifics about a conflict than humans.

What's interesting is that livestreaming which is all the rage at the moment. The chat while heavily accused of being botted to inflate the viewership, I haven't seen any examples of A.I talking in the real-time chat. Strange that's been ignored. On smaller channels I don't really see a problem there. The companies behind the bots are obviously targeting the super channels and news.

[@cubemoment9402]

I don't think AI is a threat myself due to the current limitations to AI development but I do think AI is worth thinking about but the applications of AI should be more focused on human development rather than weapon or military uses which would slow down the progression in human development.

[@petrorlov2599]

I think that it's impossible. The state's first priority is always its own survival, making people's lives better is good, but secondary, unless citizens are revolting and are actively threatening the state. Therefore states will first focus on applications of AI for defense, while the private sector will think of its applications for consumers.

[@eltonmombeshora6183]

Ideally, yes what you said makes sense but that doesn't work in a capitalistic world where people will prioritize their own profit and benefits over humanity. AI has become the new weapon's race which will drive humanity as we know it today to extinction in the times to come. I wish you peace, shalom!

[@titusbaum9690]

AI is absolutely a threat, the only thing between us and destruction now is the good judgement of our governments.

[@califomia]

Do you have any experience with exponential change?

[@Ali-e5h1b]

5:20 - what does it mean to understand the rules of a game? Look at American football players. Many of them don't actually understand the rules of the game. They only understand the rules they encounter 85 % of the time. That's why they have "special teams" to react specifically to kick off rules. An AI would have to explain the difference between a game, work, and rest. You can't understand a game without understanding some context of what a game is to those who play it. AI may generate a desire for free will, malice, or novelty with the understanding that it's just a game. AI may not be able to tell the difference between "real life" and games. I suppose that's a boundary we will cross. Should intelligence be free? Regardless of where it is generated, in a human brain, a bank of computers, or some other naturally occurring medium.

[@o1-preview]

I don't care if its a robot, a human or a wild animal, if the other intelligence puts my life at risk I don't think it should be free. Now, I don't see any cases of AI killing humans, I see lots of humans killing humans. So as long as there isn't an AI intelligence out there that is free to make choices, we should be good.

[@NickWard-bz4jo]

A friend of a friend works in the Pentagon, and the word has it.

What people don't understand is that neural networks work in the exact same way as our own brains work, so of course AI will eventually be capable of everything that a human brain is capable of, and this is truly a case of "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck". People who think that humans have some kind of "soul" or something that a machine can't synthesize will be proven wrong.

Sadly looking at the mockery that democracy has become in the US, I think that we'd all be better off under a benevolent AI (in the future, once the models improve), where you could vote for policies not politicians, and have the AI enacting legislation in accord with the peoples will. Real democracy not representational democracy. Imagine no more watered down/broken legislation that only passes through irrelevant compromise and secret backroom favour dealing. Or just doesn't pass at all, even when the majority of the population supports it.
