Thanks to everyone who played 3WT
Once again, we are signing off
Maybe we'll come back, who knows?
I've threatened to write a book or make a board game out of this; it may happen
Otherwise, remember the
Fun
We
Had
@neilturkewitz@ItsBen321 People have an understanding of AI from media, and companies like OpenAI have coopted it for marketing purposes
It's akin to how Tesla calls their system Full Self Driving when "Full" is a marketing lie
@ItsBen321 I have come to consider myself an AI pescatarian
That is to say, an AI vegan is someone who is against all AI
An AI vegetarian is one who can accept very little AI
I believe there are important niche applications for AI, that it shouldn't be banned, and I might use it
@lolimhereforkek@PawnDriver The idea you don't see any harms as valid suggests that you either aren't educated in the realities of current LLM and other AI usage, you're willfully ignorant, or you are living in a positive LLM future bubble
Every tech has some downside, it's naive to believe otherwise
@lolimhereforkek@PawnDriver Speaking of surveillance, we have already seen LLM systems give false positives to law enforcement that have caused material harms to individuals through misidentification of vehicles or people
@lolimhereforkek@PawnDriver It's like saying "We have to have as much fire as possible because the other tribe will have more fire than us" and then we all burn down all of our huts
Let's keep the fire in the ovens and fire pits, let them burn down their huts if they need to
@lolimhereforkek@PawnDriver I don't buy into the story of the "race", I think instead it's a deep hole that will consume whomever feeds into it
Not saying we don't develop any of it
Instead saying do it in measured ways so we can respond to the negatives
@lolimhereforkek@PawnDriver You jumped in responding to a post about China only being able to copy
Yes, any adversary needs to be curtailed, and China has put themselves in a good position
Advocating for unlimited LLM is not going to solve that, in my view
In fact, it may destroy whatever country does it
