"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.

I seriously doubt it as well. Chances AI destroys humanity within the next 3 years and 3 months should be close to zero. The conclusion, though! Why would we do that if it destroys us for example by 2034?!??
OpenAI/Anthropic want regulation to make sure they dominate the market and prevent any competition. Nvidia wants no regulation so they can sell as many GPUs as possible and keep driving the prices up. That's pretty much all there is to this supposed debate about the dangers of AI.
Thanks for pointing it out! And seems they're doing a phenomenal job. I currently get like 3 articles each day with someone beating the drums and spreading this exact narrative.
I personally believe there's also publicity reasons here: fearmongering has been working so well for so many, so something as ghoulish as AI companies are sure to use it as well.
Sure. I guess next to what PonyOfWar said, it's also going to attract investor money if people think their product is super powerful, like being able to extinguish an entire civilization. I mean we do know they phrase something like the report on how that "agent swarm" hacked Huggingface to sound like a thriller movie script. I bet that's done deliberately and all about publicity.
