"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

There was no other way this would go.
We (humanity) are quite fucked, tbh. It doesn't even really matter if you live in the US or not. The world's most dangerous weapons are about to get tied to an autonomous system which is already famous for getting things very wrong. The people with the killswitch are drunk with power and think that said AI provides a strategic advantage.
Does power make Vodka? Because Pete is drunk with vodka
The strategic advantage they want is plausible deniability when they want to deny that they intentionally targeted a hospital full of children.
Oh, I hadn't even considered that.
Its just too bad these autonomous systems require a massive amount of mostly unguarded infrastructure.
Big, expensive, heavy things that take months to replace sitting out in the middle of nowhere, you say?
