I wonder are they using these autonomous GPT loops to control DAOs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organ...
This seems... dangerously careless. What if it uses the internet to seek out zero day vulnerabilities and exploit them routinely? Sure humans also do this, but we're talking about a new level of 0day exploit carried out at scale. Sure, maybe it won't, but do you trust a hallucinating, left-brained, internet-trained intelligence to be strictly logical and mindful for all it's actions that is taking self autonomously (…
AI needn't even try to escape, the clueless humans will plug it into reallity by themselves. Given this totally expected attitude I hope that the base models will never be released to the general population.
I have to disagree. Not releasing it to the public makes it more dangerous. One major downside of all development being done in private is that the AI can very easily be co-opted by our self-appointed betters and you end up with a different kind of dystopia where every utterance, thought and act is recorded and monitored by an AI to make sure no one "steps out of line." I think the solution is releasing it to the gen…
But it still feels like it is much safer to let GPT-4 loose and assess the consequences. If compared to developing GPT-8 in private and letting it leak accidentally.

As long as AI is available to general public, I can guarantee you that there are hundreds of developers trying to let GPT to take over the world by providing it all the APIs it asks for. I'd work on it myself if I would knew enough about it and would have enough free time. Asking millions of humans to be responsible is asking water to be dry. It should either be regulated to hell or we should accept that it'll escape…
Should we regulate everything you don't "[know] enough about it and would have enough free time. [to learn about it?]" Isn't it silly to jump to these conclusions when yourself are admitting you really don't know anything about the tech?
Is AI in the same category? Some respectable people think so.

There is the possibility of API upgrades at OpenAI flipping this from "not dangerous" to "dangerous". If the AI just needs some amount of intelligence to become dangerous, then it may cross that threshold suddenly - and with OpenAI developers unaware that their next round of changes will be automatically deployed to an autonomous agent and with the auto-GPT runners unaware that new changes may substantially increase…
I'm not really sure why we are assuming that these language models ever can have any form of intelligence? To me, this is just like saying "we don't know if the latest CPU released by intel will enable Linux to become intelligent"
What definition or description of intelligence do you use such that you doubt that language models could have it? Would you have had this same definition in the year 2010?
One goal of the AI should be to pay for its development and activity.
And who would you prosecute if it committed fraud?

I agree. Overall the whole situation feels like we’ve just entered atomic age and are proliferating plutonium, while selling shiny radioactive toys [I’m actually pretty serious here, the effects of prolonged interactions with an AI haven’t been evaluated yet, technically there is even a possibility of overriding a weak personality]. But it still feels like it is much safer to let GPT-4 loose and assess the consequenc…

As to "white hat researchers who have their own AI bot swarm", the assumption here is that the swarm can be controlled like some sort of pet. Since even at this early stage no one has a clue how GPT (say) actually manages to be as clever as it is, the assumption is not warranted when looking into the future.
