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.

Using a system that is known for making mistakes to write safety regulations for an area known to require particularly highly specialized knowledge and obsessive attention to detail?
What could possibly go wrong?
“We don’t need the perfect rule on XYZ. We don’t even need a very good rule on XYZ,” DoT general counsel Gregory Zerzan said, according to the recent meeting notes obtained by ProPublica. “We want good enough,” he said. “We’re flooding the zone.”
Holy ineptitude, Batman! I hope he's talking about just making drafts which will then be edited by human experts, but the article is not clear on that.

didn't you get the memo? "expertise" is a bad thing now. only unfailing loyalty and blind obedience matter to the fascist regime. and if people die because of AI safety regs? blame it on mexicans, african americans, gays, women, liberals, etc.--it's always worked for them in the past, and it will keep working, until every single fascist is removed from anything resembling a position of authority
"Cartoon villians"..
Seen that term used, before..
it's appropriate, here.
Seriously, couldn't crowdsourcing commentary on regs find the bugs in drafts better?
Not necessarily quicker, but better?
Because there's actual-experience & actual-thinking going-on?
UnFSCKing believable..
I'd be outlawing AI-written regs, not enforcing it..
AI as bug-detector, linter, editor-comments, certainly, but .. no: you use issue-diagrams for carefully-engineering your regs, you don't let "hallucinations" encode your regs, so you feel more "accomplished".
Idiocy.

I thought this administration wanted to remove regulations? Seems like an odd brag, no?
Especially in one of the most regulated industries on the planet.
it's insane that the list of reasons i'll never fly again keeps getting longer and longer, and in ways that i would have never guessed
The AI techbros convinced a bunch of incompetent, fascist idiots that LLMs would enable them to run the government.
