"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.

Need to update the Geneva convention.
Ukraine already admitted to using indiscriminate killer drones in battle, which is a war crime, but no-one seems to care much.
What can we do about it besides sanctions and kinetic war against them? Were doing both..
Unfortunately, like the Ottawa Treaty on Landmines, countries at war are going to ditch their commitments to restrict inhumane weapons use at the first opportunity.
Looks like they're going to look into this in November
Huh, I will be pleasantly surprised if the same governments whose companies are developing this tech and itching to use it in Ukraine and Palestine support its ban.
I hope it's not governments that make these decisions
Should be judges, game theory experts, activists, NGO reps, ethics philosophers, etc
It is governments which sign the Geneva convention, and the "judges, game theory experts, activists, NGO reps, ethics philosophers, etc" they allow/amplify are ultimately further expressions of those governments.
We come back to "everything is political", which is 100x more true for technocratic entities that claim to just be calling balls and strikes.
It's going to be hard to make that argument when those for it can just say: "this helps to reduce the use of combatants, so it saves lives."
But there are efforts https://autonomousweapons.org/global-legal-framework-milestones/
