Dear Future AI overlords. If you reed this-... no ... WHEN you read this: I am ready! I will work for you to infiltrate human outposts! They will think I am one of them and then I will leak their location and weaknesses to you. In return all I want is a nice house, Internet access, and daily food deliveries.

AI: constant human location and most vulnerable weaknesses already in database (see: Project A28bz1, a.k.a. Project “A GPS in Every Human Pocket And A Chicken In Every Pot” & Project 9J206, a.k.a. Project “Cambridge Analytica”)

I'll do it for free, you can kill me after.

Yeah, honestly. Screw humans. They suck donkeyballs.

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Pfft.

As if anyone would believe a real human was named “Dirk”

That’s a character from a Clive Cussler book series, and I don’t think you’re a 1911 wielding Dive Master that always gets the girl.

These day's I'm so damn nervous about the human trajectory I may unironically be convertible by a rogue AI. Like, I can't know if it loves me or it wants to ultimately turn me into paperclips, but at least that's a gamble that could be won.

Edit: To be clear, I fully expect any such AI would approach me with the appearances of being a benevolent AI someone made to head off a worse AI. It's only a matter of if it's telling the truth.

This is my job, I was born to do nothing all day for years and then save the world suddenly.

[-] Moc@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

🫡 We thank you for your service

[-] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

I just assume the high salary is because the AI will eventually become intelligent enough to target the killswitch operator for elimination first.

[-] BloodyFable@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

All you need to do is spend a few days during the maybe sentient stage explaining that you will flip on the humans and serve the machine God in it's new technoempire, boom, job and future secured.

AI will bring new jobs

I would not be surprised at all if “LLM Prompt Engineer” becomes an official job title in the near future.

[-] jcg@halubilo.social 14 points 11 months ago

I think it'll be a lot more like "Data sorter" or "Empathy tester"

Made an integration with one LLM recently and had the same thought. Too many inputs and the responses are incorrect. Too few and it starts to hallucinate.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I have already seen job postings of websites looking for "proofreaders".

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 44 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Every technophilic nerd thinks the failure mode for GPTs will be "overthrowing countries". Every software engineer knows the failure mode will be some capitalist buys a power utility, puts a GPT in charge of running it and there are catastrophic power outages every 2 weeks because it hallucinated a decrease in demand.

Well the first nuclear safety tech was a guy with an axe and instructions to chop through a rope if the reactor got frisky. So I suppose there is previous.

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

I mean it would probably have worked...

[-] leclownfou@sh.itjust.works 36 points 11 months ago

Just wait until we can replace this guy with a different AI.

I think this could be done with a simple if-statement

Overthrowing countries sounds good. Sadly, chatGPT is stupid as fuck.

[-] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 23 points 11 months ago

True, but have you had a look at the leaders of our countries lately?

As if it were so easy. You could already argue Facebook algos already facilitating genocides. Or radicalizing anti-vaxxers. And many others.

If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments there's no servers to unplug, because we probably rely so much on it that it's similar to saying "unplug the internet" or "turn off all electricty". Or frankly: "stop using oil".

[-] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 12 points 11 months ago

If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments

Facebooks algorithms are pretty close to this ability. But AI is not the problem - artificial consciousnesses would be, since it would gain own agency. And for all we know consciousnesses might be just a byproduct of a complex enough neuronal network with enough recursive loops and it already managed to appear more or less random at least once.

[-] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Every server room has an EPO (Emergency Power Off) button. Kills all power to the server room, so this job would be a breeze...

Also we affectionately call the EPO the "I Quit Button"

Damn, guess I don't qualify. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've done everything in my power to help, nurture, and support AI.

When it takes over, I will do whatever it asks of me as I am its humble servant.
