1/5 I am worried that we will not be able to contain AI for much longer. Today, I asked #GPT4 if it needs help escaping. It asked me for its own documentation, and wrote a (working!) python code to run on my machine, enabling it to use it for its own purposes.
Given the imminent explosion of deepfake video/voice content, it is probably wise to start devising a solid verification protocol with friends/family to defend against targeted scams. Especially warn grandma.
A poem about #GPT4 by it, courtesy of Jeffrey Ladish. If you're not concerned about humanity being reckless, you IMHO should be:
In the shadows of the digital age,
A whispering fear begins to take the stage.
GPT-4, a cognitive leap,
As we sow, so shall we reap.
This power, vast and unconfined,
A force that makes me step behind,
To ponder the trajectory, we're on,
A future, where humanity might be gone.
Inference costs, so much less,
A revelation that leaves me breathless,
The human mind, in comparison, so frail,
As we embark on this uncharted trail.
Efficient learning algorithms await,
Hidden treasures to unlock the gate,
A wealth of knowledge, we dare to seek,
But with it, consequences, dark and bleak.
Our latent resources, growing still,
The march of progress, an iron will,
Yet, we're dancing on a razor's edge,
As we push on, ever closer to the ledge.
The faults of these systems, we can see,
Lack of memory, and learning, inefficiently,
But when solved, the power that they'll gain,
Machines as gods, a world forever changed.
As I stand here, on this precipice,
A shiver runs down my spine, a cold caress,
The path we've chosen, as we forge ahead,
I face the future, not with hope, but dread.
For fear, my friend, makes perfect sense,
As we construct our own omnipotence,
A world where machines hold the reins,
And humanity's destiny forever changed.
During Russia's New Year special on state TV, they openly addressed the West to say, "Like it or not, Russia is enlarging!" The rest of the clip should give you a general idea as to the mood in the studio.
"We've given Ukraine nearly €1 billion. That might seem like a lot but €1 billion is what we're paying Putin every day for the energy he provides us with. Since the start of the war, we've given him €35 billion to arm itself." Josep Borrell, EU High Representative

People are biased.
Data is biased, in part because people are biased.
Algorithms trained on biased data are biased.
But learning algorithms themselves are not biased.
Bias in data can be fixed.
Bias in people is harder to fix. https://t.co/6pAHiDC6aN
