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.

kinda hope this leads to grok+military killing Elon
Honestly I am just waiting for Grok to justincedentlty be the next whistle blower
I can't forsee anything going wrong with giving Mechahitler access to military secrets.
How long until these dipshits accidentally publish state secrets on twitter? Taking bets now.
They don't understand how anything works. They thought USAID was a purely humanitarian effort, ffs.
2 weeks tops
The only safe system is one that is disconnected from other connections physically, then shielded, then with very limited access. Even then, humans are still the biggest risk. I'm sure they're doing the exact opposite.
They are trying to use LLM chat bot to control military equipment. What do you think?
By definition LLM models need massive external input in order to improve. So they can't really be disconnected. Top that off with them only being useful when you can interact with them from many or remote locations, and there's just no way to really keep them secure. They need massive communication to accomplish anything useful, and there's no real way to keep massive communication secure.
What if the system is connected to the fattest shit pipe in the world X?
Rainbows and unicorns obviously
Wait... the US military is team MechaHitler now?
Somebody
Anybody
Well it's been shit y'all. But this sounds like the end is nigh.
Kinda expected this, after DOGE. Still sucks.
No part of this will go badly at all.
