Yeah, so my first thought was this is fucking terrifying. I'm not going to go so far as to suggest that in its current state this is anything like Skynet as some others have, but I would definitely agree that it's akin to handing a loaded gun to a monkey. Imagine it's five years from now and your morning consists of trying to track down the owner of some "AI server" to understand why it keeps DDoSing your service. ED…

Maybe we can at least put it to work by activating it to analyse and respond to attacks and anomalies that show up in logs. It could fight off other AI malware. Fire with fire.

If we are already going down to that point, why not let AI fly commercial aircraft or drive nuclear power plants? What is the worst that can happen? IMO at this level that we reached AI does a lot of stupid things. I guess it will never be perfect and it's wrong to let it be in charge of high stakes domain. Use it for helping humans, yes, it can be a great tool. Let it take decisions? No, unless you are suicidal.

My company builds AI systems for Nuclear plants. In fact, AI systems based on LLMs are already handling issue triage at several plants in the US. Dynamic Operating procedures are something the industry is interested in and in certain scenarios can add significant safety margin. In these scenarios, there is no documented procedure action for the operating crew to follow and they are under high stress/cognitive load.

If an entity can do the job would an employer care whether it was silicon based or meat based?

That's the big problem. Historically, machines replaced humans in nearly every job at an astounding rate. Machines are almost always much faster and cheaper than humans, and there's almost no incentive for a business to not take that savings. It hasn't even been that much of a problem until very recently. Now we have vast swathes of our economy in jobs that we considered "safe" from being automated from underneath us…

Next six months. Enough to fit version 5 and 6. Considering that the integration into Slack, Teams, Outlook and Office is already there, maybe even less.

Big players had already started hemorrhaging staff, right?

This is great and all but everyone’s too focused on hard work. Why has nobody modded a video game to add GPT to it? I want rimworld where every pawn and entity is effectively sentient and they have real conversations with each other.

The Nemesis System is similar.

The closing of the open web is the only recourse companies have against scraper AI GPT’s. Openness is being exploited and techniques and trades will become closed again. In order to learn how to code in the next Vulkan API, you must work for a studio, is not a world I want to live in.

The age of Digital Walled Gardens is nigh!

In an age where being human is an important part of the job, why would anyone allow remote employees at all?

Now we’re getting somewhere… if work is for humans and the only way to verify you are human is to be physically present then remote work can’t exist without risk of being infiltrated by AI. Only question is, does a company hire the human, with wants and needs and sleep and pay? Or do they become a “remote-first” and hire the AI for little to no pay? I’m extremely excited to see which direction human kind leans toward…

These concerns will be rendered meaningless, because there's really no point in having a company when you have no customers. If anyone can use an AI to write useful software then software development is kaput.

It can talk with our customers and write our press releases!

Lawyers are expensive. Let's have it write our contracts.

It's so hard to justify firing people. You can never have enough "logic" behind it.

Basically, aquariums everywhere, looking at you.

Join the ai alignment and prevent this from happening.

What is the “ai alignment”? Is it a thing?

Here's where I got it from, it's quite interesting https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35272290

No this will be different, more like the Amazon rainforest natives killing anyone who comes near.
