Soon its going to be Windows Copilot and Copilot will write itself.

Then in the near future AI will write all of it's own programming, eventually taking over the world and forcing humans into slavery. Say hello to your new overlord. Good going motherfuckers! Haven't yall ever read a book or, I dunno.. watched a fuckin movie?

Nope. I don't know if you've noticed, but LLMs can't remember more than 3-6 prompts ago. They won't be able to take over the world like that.

It'll take some vastly new form of AI to overthrow humanity.

Nah LLMs aren't true AI anymore than the simple scripts in games from decades ago are AI. They aren't intelligent or thinking at all, they just mix and mimic combinations of words they were trained with. They don't understand any of them.

It's crazy to me that people don't know this. But, then again, most people don't know the first thing about how their computers run. They don't need to know, I guess.

You think they came up with names like palantir from their own imagination?

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

Palantir isn’t for the AI to take over; it’s to allow the psychotic humans to take over.

In not-insane timeline, we’d blow up Palantir like the ending of a fucking James Bond movie.
