If AI is so dangerous it needs to be immediately banned. The only allowed usage (If any) is research and it is heavily restricted, with heavy oversight from multiple governments.
Otherwise its just bullshit
Ideally they’d like self-regulation. If this isn’t feasible (for example, because the public hates data centers and AI slop) their next best option is government regulation ASAP, because it is likely to be ineffective as written by our current government, and enable them as “too big to fail/too big to care” while any startups are suppressed.
From the AI industry’s point of view, if regulators say no to self-regulation, the next best thing would be governments imposing regulations ASAP. Inept government regulation (and that is what we are likely to get) would practically ensure that big tech stays big and small companies are shut out of the AI innovation race because big tech is in a much better position to “game” any rules regulators might impose.

There are probably less biased sources out there – this author is the CEO of an AI consulting company – but i think they’re right.
Thats why I say take it away from them completely. If the big dogs can’t handle it, no one gets it. Or its regulated to the point thats its profit us worthless
It is not. They are spouting this lie and prompting their models to go rogue because they want to be the only trusted company that can “handle them”. It’s all about control and creating a monopoly.
"“I resigned from Anthropic today… Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving
superintelligence and gambling with our lives. The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of
the decade. This is not a marketing stunt… many executives couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible, but I hear
the same people express fear privately.”
Jacob Coxen senior researcher at Anthropic
“Jacob is correct here — we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it is >10% within the next
decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and
are not clearly on track to.”
This is such a wild take to be getting this many upvotes. If nothing happened in LLM development from this day forward they’d still be absurdly dangerous: both in an information security context and a social engineering context.
Lemmy is absolutely head in the sand about LLMs and it is wild. You can dislike LLMs and acknowledge their capabilities [and limitations] at the same time.
LLMs entering the world have revealed two very different types of crazies and I’m starting to think they’re everywhere. It’s quite tiring to have to constantly say “no they’re not useless” and “no they’re not super god” instead of engage with an actually interesting discussion.
I don’t really understand why lemmy thinks what it thinks on this one. To me it’s undeniable that it’s improving fast and it’s capable today of replacing a great many current job roles. Putting our heads in the sand isn’t going to make it go away.
Right, and regardless of sci-fi future potentials, there is a current reality and we’re in it and only have so much time to affect it’s evolution. All of these likely intelligent people completely ignoring reality isn’t helping define and construct the world we want tomorrow.

This plays into the big corps’ plans.

I believe there is truth in both sides of this argument.
Yeah but neither of those sides are in favor of the regulatory capture monopoly that liberals always think is a good idea.
That has about as much to do with reality as me believing I sing well in the shower.
This is lemmy, balanced takes are not allowed.
Thankfully it’s not so dangerous

You and I are the only ones apparently.

I wouldn’t say that, the amount of vulnerabilities it’s discovering (and capable of exploiting) is frightening
I’m down with that.
