Si quieren comparar IA con armas nucleares, los llm son más como bombas sucias, dispersadas por doquier sin control. No es que no puedan aún hacer un arma nuclear (IA real) pero con llm jamás.

The challenges posed by #ArtificialIntelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and become a real threat to proper integral human development. Technology must always be subject to ethics; an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or a worker's value. Access to work for all must be a high priority for public policies and economic processes, serving as a criterion for evaluating the human quality of any development model. #ApostolicJourney #Argentina

Brute force computation is not enough for intelligence. Clever new methods are needed. The science of AI is far from finished. IMHO

The AI layoff gamble is backfiring.

Companies that rushed to replace workers with AI are now cleaning up the mess, per The Guardian.

Meta scaled back plans to cut staff and use more AI agents after employees spent growing time cleaning up the agents’ technical and security errors. It’s now rehiring managers.
Microsoft and McKinsey are limiting employee AI use as costs pile up.
Walmart workers say AI scheduling and task tools set impossible standards and generate false alerts.

The payoff isn’t showing up: 90% of executives say AI hasn’t yet boosted productivity at their companies, per an Atlanta Fed working paper.

Yet more than 112,000 US job cuts this year have cited AI, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Apple y sus aplicaciones cada vez peores. Si quieres enviar lo que estás escuchando a un dispositivo Airplay tienes que esperar a que aparezca esa opción abajo que sube toda la interfaz o acabas eligiendo el dispositivo equivocado 😑

Goldman Sachs has irked some of its staff after it banned most of them from using advanced artificial intelligence tools designed for coding after reviewing productivity and risk concerns. Read more here: https://t.co/vkKyggwrGk

As a computer scientist in AI (and also a tech founder), I see it the other way around.

People who have no idea how AI works trying to draw relations and conclusions about its abilities telling me I don’t know what I’m talking about.

My stance shouldn’t be controversial, AI is a computer program, a mathematical model doing large matrix statistics, and it is impossible for it to give rise to feelings, desires, emotions, awareness, understanding, or consciousness, and comparing it to biological systems is foolish.

And before you start telling me about the people who are saying it who are experts… they have an agenda.

Even the “Godfather of AI” (more like “God Complex”) is selling books and fear sells, as does popularity, interviews, and making batshit crazy claims.

Most of the tooling that people use to build and inference models is open source. You can read it yourself (if you know how) or you can have agent do it and explain it to you. I can assure you, its design is to emulate and generalize on its training data, not be alive.

So I’m curious how many people who know very little about how AI works will argue with me saying how little I know about consciousness, biological processes, or that my stance is somehow influenced by me being a tech bro / CEO in AI…

I'm so glad that we have LLMs to make computers more expensive for the first time since they were invented while also taking my job and making everyone illiterate

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Machines are tools, not persons. Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.
