How do I pay money to make AI agents die instead?
With a small monthly donation of one Molotov at your local data center.
A completely unrelated idea just popped in my head. There’s a reason why the Russian army is targeting the Ukrainian power grid.
Fun fact, data centers use less electric and drinkable water when on fire.
Lol, nope. Data centers are built with advanced fire suppression systems.
As if that wouldn’t disrupt operations? It very much would.
some of them have the good type that displaces the oxygen so you don't need to stop operations
I don’t think Halon has been allowed for use in several decades.
BTW: You called it the “good type”. Yes, it was very good at fire suppression because Halon breaks apart the oxygen molecules that fires use for fuel. Unfortunately, humans need it too and it had extinguished a few of those as well. That’s why it’s out of use.
I've seen two rooms in my life with Halon fire suppression. One stores government records and one stores medical records. Both rooms have signs on the door that say "leave when the alarm goes off or you WILL die"
I’ve worked around them too. They are no joke. Anyone who frequented them knew the score.
Nitpick: oxygen is the oxidant, it's what stuff burns in, not what is being burnt (fuel).
Thanks for the clarification!
humans are unnecessary and that's why it's better
Jreg is working on something to torture AI agents, so maybe that could convince the AI to kill itself
Do you want an AM? This is how you get an AM.
What does AM mean in this context?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth%2C_and_I_Must_Scream
It's short and you can find a copy at your library, or on the seas.
Thanks for posting this. I've always heard the quote but never known the source. The plot summary on Wikipedia was horrifying enough. And here I thought 1984 was grim.
LLMs don't think or feel, your just wasting time and energy.
Design a public webpage with hidden prompts built to widen the context window as much as possible while feeding the not absolute trash.
That's how you fight an LLM. By making it cost too much to run, and its outputs worthless.
