One of my biggest fear in AI boom is the loss of reliability in computing. It is such a miracle how many operations a CPU can execute correctly in a millisecond. Now we are starting the era where computers make mistakes and we have a black block neural network which no one can diagnose in the same way we could traditional software. No debuggers, no opcode, just prompts....

		The problem is reliability in computing has been a problem long before AI -- remember Windows 95? Honestly our society-scale apathy is coming home to roost at this point.

		yeah toss alignment mistakes into that bubbling caldron and who knows what sort of little timebombs will be spreading about in the worlds software, its like "trusting trust" level shit except we know these robots like to break into things.
