"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
"Our stupid piece of shit broke some extra stuff because it doesn't actually have an understanding of anything, and we think now that we could just 'tell it' not to be naughty."
You forgot: "we could try to build it a half decent sandbox but then our gizmo wouldn't escape anymore, and we prefer to look incompetent rather than giving up the headlines."
They really are desperately entrenched in the "pump" stage of pump>IPO>dump...
DOUBT. Sandboxing is a mature software field and if they were doing anything close to proper sandboxing, the developers of docker or qemu or vmware, or whatever they are using, would be freaking the fuck out. OpenAI wouldn't be reaching out to huggingface to apologize, they would immediately, and (hopefully) secretly and responsibly report the bug(s) upstream.
OpenAI and Anthropic shouldn't be allowed to hack other companies illegally, and it's clear to me that's exactly what's happening here: intentional malpractice designed to scare investors.
Modern autonomous agents differ substantially from traditional language models. Rather than simply generating text, they can plan multi-stage tasks, execute shell commands, browse websites, write and execute code, invoke APIs, maintain persistent memory, and make independent decisions based on previous observations.
You know who else can do all that? ME! On a $5 vps from digitalocean. The fact that I can't hack digital ocean or aws, and that nobody can except in the worst zero day cases, is proof that this shit is simple, and has existed for more than a decade.
Yeah, seems kinda like they are pushing an "AI Wars" narrative
Pump and dump scheme but this time legally via stocks of the company's
Why aren't they bragging about all the people and children that their slopbot talked into killing themselves?
What's with the all this made up horseshit about "solving" math problems and chatbot Oceans-11 heists every week?
That will work as negative PR before their IPO debut which they can't afford. Everything comes down to more money
