    The terrifying stuff is probably way out of many businesses price range. Plus jobs do tend to change fairly regularly as business/client needs change.

    And some businesses really like to own their tech.

    If it gets affordable and democratised, start to panic.

    Alright Raoul Sunak. Unemployment being low is because half the country needs multiple jobs to scrape by. This isn't a win.

    It'll be like how the tuna gets into the cans. You think it's going to be some modern industrial process, but it's just thousands of poorly paid Filipinos [or whoever] doing it all by hand in a giant factory. The third world human is probably the most affordable piece of extremely advanced technology going and will remain so.

    I suppose the real problem will be when AI gets in on email scamming.

    Probably the fact that the US [and their corporate actors] have scant regard for any sort of data privacy laws.

    He is one of the original 'AI alignment' persons. Also, in my opinion, he lost the plot about two years ago.

    Further down the rabbit hole we go.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/65333115

    Surely there comes a point where AI is regulated out of sight?

    What does regulated out of sight mean though, as in stick such serious punishment for its use that it goes underground like child porn or something?

    The story yesterday about the ultra-marathon runner who used her car for some of the race got a giggle and I'm trying to draw reassuring comparisons between the car and AI and how this isn't all pointing to the imminent destruction and transformation of everything we know but it's difficult. Yes, we don't all just use our cars to drive 4.9km in our weekly parkrun and smash our PBs but if society was founded upon covering x distance across 35 hours per week, I'm pretty sure you'd struggle to keep people away from their cars.

    Some gimp also won a photography award with an AI-generated entry the other day (they openly admitted to it after the event rather than trying to cheat glory).

    It isn't all pointing to the imminent destruction of society because it isn't AI, more a very cleverly (by standards to date) written program.

    As in you're making the distinction between AI and LLMs? Isn't it just a matter of semantics given their power?

    There will end up being a pretty powerful luddite movement, akin to the strength of, say, the climate change movement currently. The challenge for them will be avoiding being a load of useless hippy socialist wankers, like every previous movement against the march of technological capitalism.

    It is AI. It's (probably) not AGI (artificial general intelligence), which is probably what you mean

    The threat to creative industries is very real as most people aren't bothered about authenticity, but in terms of research it's not only useless but very often misleading when it comes to the finer details.

    I'm not up to speed on the terminology of these things, but if it's technically AI then I'd suggest the definition of AI that's being used is wrong. Much like "Machine Learning".

    True Artificial Intelligence, for me, should have independent thought and free will and this thing has neither.

    Maybe, but then where's the intelligence in ChatGPT? It's just Google with bells and whistles.

    This all smells a bit like 3D Printing, which IIRC should have solved World hunger by now.

    I assume loads of people are using it for work related stuff. Surely there's a data privacy issue there where people are pouring company data into it, because OpenAI retain the data for at least a short period (and that's what they admit to).

It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”
    This is fine.

    That story turned out to be bollocks, by the way. It was just a thought exercise or something, not even a simulation
