Is AI slowly turning into SkyNet?

I strongly doubt that LLMs will achieve self-awareness.

Give it time. 86 billion neurons in the brain, less than a billion GPUs have ever been made.

 

[littlebeast]

It’s likely you already being forced to use LLMs. Google search, Siri, and search on major software like searching in MacOS, Windows, or email platforms - using LLMs or at least implementing it. I also just read that New Orleans is going to start using an LLM for their 911, which is super forced.

I suspect what you are describing will apply to the shitty LLMs. Those will die and we’ll slowly stop noticing the “good” ones. Survivorship bias will kinda take over.

one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. using that definition, LLMs are insane.

AI is getting closer at reading minds

I've often thought about this and I don't think anyone wants to know what's going on in my mind, in fact if you were to be able to read my mind you'd probably run screaming.

let's just introduce you to what goes on in my mind.

 

[Dr_SLO]

I'll leave this here to see how well it ages...
Modern-Day Oracles or Bullsh*t Machines?

You know I had a crazy ass nightmare where the government was using peoples phones to force intrusive thoughts into peoples minds and pushing them to commit acts of violence. Oh wait, social media does that already.

Force?

Tron 2 ?
Doesn't look like Tron #1

 

[tuxumino]

it was an unexpected great movie

 

[BillSmith]

SkyNet has some work to do. In comparison, SF Giants look balletic.

 

[bcj]

Optimus AI is doing all the sports now too.

"Great! /s"

 

[Dmitriy]

Need moar chips I guess..

I dont see an XY pair good to go in womens sports are the next Olympics! (Negative dope pee test too...)

 

[stangmx13]

The scary part about functional robots is that they are an army for hire. No actual artificial intelligence required.

 

[GAJ]

Isn't it time they instituted something like Asimov's Rules of Robotics?

The Three Laws

• • First Law: A robot may not injure a human or allow them to come to harm through inaction.
  • Second Law: A robot must obey human orders, unless they conflict with the First Law.
  • Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence, unless it conflicts with the First or Second Laws.

 

[augustiron]

I don't agree with the third law at all.

They don't have rights to existence.

If humans decide to shut the tinbox down, so be it, it shouldn't "protect itself" from us pulling the plug.

That is how the start of the end comes

 

[CDONA]

No morals, no ethics, and the ability to exploit it all,
Lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, and/or the concept of death to everything, just because, , ,

 

[Abacinator]

Aren't Asomov's laws based on AI having sapience?

Nice in theory, pretty much impossible in practice.

All this AI scaremongering is just the top companies; OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI run by Altman, Amodei and Musk respectively trying to establish a government protected cartel. Since when do companies clamor for govt regulation and control?

Since they learned that this is the best way to control their domain buy passing regulations, buying politicians and blocking competition from young upstarts. This is what happened last century with the oil industry, railroads, airplanes, telecom, internet and big pharma. Skynet is not the danger but Cartelnet -- AI controlled by a handful of billionaires and protected by the government so it would probably be the last cartel, i.e. if they get what they want it will be impossible to ever shut them down or supplant them.

NB: the whole AI thing smells fishy to me and part of some devious Plan. What are the odds that the top two AI CEOs would have names like Alt(ernative)Man and A(rtificial)-Mode-I(ntelligence) or if you like Amo O Dei (Love of God).

Some podcast had 3 speakers, one said 100% another said 140%, third said like 2% the possibility that ai will cause doomsday in the next 5 years

5 years

Asimovs laws are based on a bunch of stories where those 3 laws didn't really work out well at all.
