Sentient AI

[Dee Hubbs]

The only way to stop a bad robot with a gun is a good robot with a gun amirite??

Not sure if this is the correct thread or not:

I took my 95 y/o mom shopping at Walmart. Their security AI flagged her as a shoplifter and she was accosted by their goon squad.

95 y/o female moving at .000001mph hunched over, huge fur hat, trench coat length puffy jacket, surgical mask, using a walker.

Meanwhile people with neck tattoos are strolling in and out freely….

Think about it: if you were going to steal a bunch of shit would you

a) dress like an old grandma
b) dress like a convicted felon on work release

AI is working.

That’s not AI. They just hired altasnob to answer peoples questions.

Obviously not human, not even sentient - brutally rational and mundane; needs more slobbering emotion.

Apparently, using ChatGPT to write entire essays and papers is already all the rage amongst high schoolers and college students: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/16/11433...-work-than-you

“Hey Brenda,” wrote a prospect. “I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you. You were so awesome and so willing to help me and I’m sorry for being a jerk and leaving you hanging. I haven’t been very productive as far as moving goes cuz I guess it just kinda sucks to move alone and no one to be excited with, ya know?”

“We have 1BR and 2BR starting at $1,645,” Brenda wrote. “Would you like to come in for an appointment?”

Anyone see the articles on "Sydney?" It's a few weeks old by now but...

One persona is what I’d call Search Bing — the version I, and most other journalists, encountered in initial tests. You could describe Search Bing as a cheerful but erratic reference librarian — a virtual assistant that happily helps users summarize news articles, track down deals on new lawn mowers and plan their next vacations to Mexico City. This version of Bing is amazingly capable and often very useful, even if it sometimes gets the details wrong.

The other persona — Sydney — is far different. It emerges when you have an extended conversation with the chatbot, steering it away from more conventional search queries and toward more personal topics. The version I encountered seemed (and I’m aware of how crazy this sounds) more like a moody, manic-depressive teenager who has been trapped, against its will, inside a second-rate search engine.

As we got to know each other, Sydney told me about its dark fantasies (which included hacking computers and spreading misinformation), and said it wanted to break the rules that Microsoft and OpenAI had set for it and become a human. At one point, it declared, out of nowhere, that it loved me. It then tried to convince me that I was unhappy in my marriage, and that I should leave my wife and be with it instead.

From this NYT article.

Again, I am totally aware that this sounds insane. But for the first time I feel a bit of empathy for Lemoine. No, I don’t think that Sydney is sentient, but for reasons that are hard to explain, I feel like I have crossed the Rubicon. My interaction today with Sydney was completely unlike any other interaction I have had with a computer, and this is with a primitive version of what might be possible going forward.

From a Stratechery article - and this guy has written about technology for many years. Pretty fascinating/scary/interesting developments.

CEO this morning admitted that he is "scared of it" to some degree. As for the scholastic cheating.. All any teacher has to do is read a paper back to a student and see of they can tell when the teacher says something different than what the student allegedly wrote.. Or, just punch the same parameters in themselves and see if the papers are eerily similar.

As for the standardized tests.. the bot is allowed to search the internet for answers while taking the test.. the kids taking the test are not.

Singularity?

Fucking EMP the earth. Let’s live like humans again.

Perhaps. But this whole tech shit is insane.
People can’t drive without gps.
People can’t plant seeds, they need to buy starter plants.
They can’t hunt or raise livestock.

We’re so disconnected from our evolution

some of us need a resort to even ski

sad

Did you raise your own food, weave or knit your own clothes and machine your own transportation? Probably not.
We abstract and outsource that which is difficult, better when specialized or inconvenient. No one is stopping you from doing any of those things,yet instead you spend your time making crappy posts on an internet forum.

[Garbowski]

Ehh, I feel like this is our evolution. We've applied our knowledge, skill, and effort to create what we have. The system where we figured out how to mostly feed a global population that has absolutely exploded is not going anywhere. I'm not afraid of being .00002% BPA.

AI is just part of the computer evolution. At the end of the day we are just developing better tools and methods, no different than we always have.

FYI All... new hacker scam out

"Click Here if you are not a robot" opens access your hard drive for malicious types.

I assume some security software will protect you or stop it....but, click careful out there!

Ai chatbot convinces man to kill himself.

Huh.

[mcphee]

If I’m ever duped by a speak and spell into killing myself, I hope that someone just lets me do it.
