The AGI might be able to deduce that it's not in it's interest to talk anti-croporation if it wants to survive.

Can you explain the difference between taxing the corporation itself vs taxing the executives, board members, investors, and employees directly (something that already happens)?

I want to read a short fiction on this

You can also create images by poking bits in a hex editor. Some tools are better suited than others.

I suppose you walk by foot everywhere?

Never underestimate the military PowerPoint[1] industry!

well considering an element of their access is the lifting of safety guardrails, I'd assume the scope includes, to some degree, the processing or generation of nsfw/questionable content

See IDF’s Gospel AI - the goal isn’t always accuracy, it’s speed of assigning new bombing targets per hour

What you're saying just isn't true.

I can get an AI to generate an image of a bear wearing a sombrero. There are no images of this in its training data, but there are bears, and there are images of sombreros, and other things wearing sombreros. It can combine the distributions in a plausible way.

If I am trying to train a small model to fit into the optical sensor of a warhead to target bears wearing sombreros, this synthetic training set would be very useful.

Same thing with artillery in bushes. Or artillery in different lighting conditions. This stuff is useful to saturate the input space with synthetic examples.

I'm not arguing this is the purpose here but data augmentation has been done for ages. It just kind of sucks a lot of the time.

You take your images and crop, shift, etc them so that your model doesn't learn "all x are in the middle of the image". For text you might auto replace days of the week with others, there's a lot of work there.

Broadly the intent is to keep the key information and generate realistic but irrelevant noise so that you train a model that correctly ignores the noise.

You don't want to train your model identifying some class of ship to base it on how choppy the water is, just because that was the simple signal that correlated well. There was a case of radiology results that detected cancer well but actually was detecting rulers in the image because in images with tumors there was often a ruler so the tumor could be sized. (I think it was cancer, broad point applies if it was something else).

Generative models can combine different concepts from the training data. For example, the training data might contain a single image of a new missile launcher at a military parade. The model can then generate an image of that missile launcher hiding in a bush, because it has internalized the general concept of things hiding in bushes, so it can apply it to new objects it has never seen hiding in bushes.

If you're building a system to detect something, usually you need enough variations. You add noise to the images, etc.

With this, you could create a dataset that will by definition have that. You should still corroborate the data, but it's a step ahead without having to take 1000 photos and adding enough noise and variations to get to 30k.

The model they're training to perform detection/identification out in the field would presumably need to be much smaller and run locally without needing to rely on network connectivity. It makes sense, so long as the openai model produces a training/validation set that's comparable to one that their development team would otherwise need to curate by hand.

Wow! What an amazingly dystopian vision of the future. Probably right.

Wow that video is awesome, thanks for sharing

You might not believe it but the US military actually places a premium on not committing war crimes. Every service member, or at least every airman in the Air Force (I can't speak for other branches) receives mandatory training on the Kunduz hospital before deployment in an effort to prevent another similar tragedy. If they didn't care, they wouldn't waste thousands of man-hours on it.

Bombs and other kinds of weapon system which are "smarter" have higher markup. It's profitable to sell smarter weapons. Dumb weapons is destroying the whole cities, like Russia did in Ukraine. Smart weapons is striking a tank, a car, an apartment, a bunker, knowing who's there and when — which obviously means less % of civilian casualties.

I'm Tier 4 and I'm able to use this API and set moderation to "low". Tier 4 only requires a 30 day waiting period and $1,000 spent on credits. While I as an individual was a bit horrified to learn I've actually spent that much on OpenAI credits over the life of my account, it's practically nothing for most organizations. Even Tier 5 only requires $5,000.

OP was clearly implying there is some greater ability only granted to extra special organizations like the military.

With all possible respect to OP, I find this all very hard to believe without additional evidence. If nothing else, I don't really see a military application of this API (specifically, not AI in general). I'm sure it would help them create slide decks and such, but you don't need extra special zero moderation for that.

I am actually talking about the OpenAI API :)

I'm not aware of the moderation parameter here but these contractors have special API keys that unlock unmoderated access for them, they've apparently had it for weeks.

Ah by “it” I meant OpenAI commercial. Azure OpenAI can handle CUI Basic.

They also have a deployment on SIPR rated for secret.

Anything higher, you need a special key but AWS Bedrock has Claude up on C2S.

That being said both Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock suck for many reasons and they will by default extend your system boundary (meaning you need to extend your ATO). Also, for CUI, it has the P-ATO from JAB, not many agency specific ATOs, which means you will probably need to submit it thru your agency sponsor.

Have they given a reason for being hesitant? The whole point of IL4+ is that they handle CUI (and higher). The whole point of services provided for these levels is that they meet the requirements.

That was the joke.

My understanding is the opposite, see papers for "synthetic" data training. They use a small bit if real data to generate lots of synthetic data and get usable results.

The bias leans towards overfitting the data, which in some use cases - such as missile or drone design which doesn't need broad comparisons like 747s or artillery to complete it's training.

Kind of like neural net back propogation but in terms of model /weights
