| Humans have been doing this for years even before the advent of the internet as we know it [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phreaking]. Maybe not at a larger and automated scale allowed by AI, but this is not superhuman intelligence... this is speed super intelligence. My interpretation is that this is just another media campaign to say "oh look how powerful our model is". |

| > My interpretation is that this is just another media campaign to say "oh look how powerful our model is". When the stakes are "humankind ceases to exist," I'd argue it's very reasonable to over-update towards "LLMs are closer to AGI than we thought, and alignment efforts are complete failures." Are those things true? Dunno. Will we be safer as a species if we act like they are? I think so. |

| ▲ | 0x4e a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I agree with knowing what's happening! But taking things at face value from tech companies, especially when they are at an early stage and maximizing for attention just doesn't feel right to me. At the end of the day, bad things will happen and there's little that can be done about it. Just look around and see how things just take the path of their own whether it's violent or peaceful. I'm not advocating for it to really show it's dangerous. I do not want yet another harmful weapon to exist. But, I think we knew what we were walking towards in the first place. So, acting surprised and then being up in arms about it feels counterproductive. Do you really want there not be a powerful AI that doesn't turn harmful? Don't contribute to it, don't buy into it, don't use it. We might miss on the positives, but also miss on the negative aspects of it. | |
| ▲ | watwut a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | The biggest threat to humanity are CEO billionaires. Not LLM. | | |
| ▲ | 0x4e a day ago | parent [-] | | Partially agreed. There are also just evil people that are not billionaire CEOs, and I am not sure if ALL billionaire CEOs are bad — I don't really pay too much attention to them. There are evil people in general. And, it may be solvable if we focus on humans, the environment they grow up in, the information they consume, their psychological development, education, fitness, social environments, etc... But, we keep focusing on the wrong thing thinking that a robot or an LLM will solve these problems for us as a society. I honetly don't thinks so... | | |

| ▲ | watwut 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | The way he described the environment is kind of unbelievable. And he is KNOWN to lie. And also, he feels bullied anytime he is not put on pedestal. So, who knows. |
