| Let’s ban this before it gets too powerful ! |

| I don't think it should be outright banned, automated intelligence is like a gun, hammer, knife, nuclear warhead, etc. |
| |
| ▲ | thefounder 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Ok I may agree with this. Instead to ban it we should nerf it to the point it’s useless. | | | |
| ▲ | pkal 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I see that intelligence itself is a tool, but that doesn't mean I want an automated gun, automated hammer, automated nuclear warhead, etc. | | |
| ▲ | fakedang 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | You may not want them, but the NRA certainly wants that you want them. | | |
| ▲ | ben_w 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | In the future perhaps it will mean "Neural Rifle Automaton" |

| ▲ | tearwear 8 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | not really, though. you don't see automated intelligence in the hands of junkies et al. ... and you don't see it coming, either ... | | |
| ▲ | simulator5g 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Junkies et al can log into chatgpt right now and use it to create a phishing email to steal drug money from your Grandma. Many people saw this coming. | | |

| I wonder if every future announcement will be met with this criticism. Like, what's the point if they'll ban it in a few days. |

| I don't really want the average LLM being able to tell anyone exactly how to syntheize lethal nerve agents. |

| ▲ | bouncycastle 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | you can already get that information by reading books in the library. The biggest barrier is not information, it's the ability to secure enough of the materials and equipment. For example, information for how to make a nuclear weapon is already there in the library. However, mining enough yellow cake and then purifying it is an industrial scale operation, out of reach unless you are a nation state, and have good mountain tunnels, etc. To a lesser extent, this is also true for producing chemical weapons. The theory is there, but actual production extremely out of reach. No LLM can help you there. (You can verify by reading up on Aum Shinrikyo to get an idea of the staggering scale required) | | |
| ▲ | dmd 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Sure, information on all sorts of things is in “the library”. But (a) most people in the world don’t have access to a decent library (if you’re on HN you’re statistically much more likely to), (b) most people have no idea how to use one (same), and most importantly (c) AI will distill the knowledge from ten books you might need to read into step by step simple instructions if you ask. | |

Might be hard to slip past the shareholders, but dark projects have flown under the annual reports of several large players. | | |
| ▲ | bouncycastle 37 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Highly unlikely. Just the energy cost of running centrifuges, let alone manufacturing them is impossible to hide. It's staggering when you consider it. To put some more perspective, an LLM could show you how to make a Boeing 747 in detail, but the actual chance of someone making one with no tools and logistics would be 0. LLMs haven't changed the economic realities. |
