Lots of respect for Bulletin of Atomic Scientst.

Its an important initiative, documenting the harm AI causes.

Needs to be done, and as we are increasingly seeing, evidence based science is not seen as #woke and ideologically based, which just blows my head...

... but on the other hand, we have to remember that for 300 years, the arabs were leaders in science to the whole world, and they only reverted into dogma and ignorance when the clearic got to power...

History repeats it seems.

Governments around the world are failing their citizens by riding the #AI bike hands free.

@i_dont_like_ai

This is a deep question that made me dig to the very bottom of the rabbit hole in the strata that underpins our universe.
I welcome such considered interrogation.

Let me start, by saying I have evolved my belief system from dogma Christiandom, through free thinking atheism... recently though, as I learn more from those who are better informed than me, I lean towards abandoning the out-dated dogma of materialists.

Chalmers, Sheldrake, Faggins (the inventor of microprocessor) are the giants pulling aside the cobwebs over materialist science eyes.

What the exact 'truth' is, its hard to say, but as Penrose (the Nobel prize winner) asserts that our physics is missing something instrumental to the understanding of how everything works. Modern science lacks courage to look deeper into this in the shades of Nitzches abbys.

Thats a long fucking preamble...
I eschew reductionism as I consider it a right wing philosophy that is a direct path to death camps.

On the basis of this blah blah here is where I stand currently;

Are #LLM #AI models intelligent?
Sure they are, in the Theseus ship parable intelligent. They pass #turingtest which was for decades the benchmark...
... they are alien intelligence from the algorithmic space. One of many alien mind models. NB: Check out "Blindsight" by Watts (#scifi)

I think a more interesting questsion is, are AI models #conscious (IMHO, not yet)

What I will say will sound absoltuely koo-koo if you are coming in cold into this thought space.
IMHO human intelligence is an instantialisations of conscious #quantum fields projecting into our 3D play-arena...

If you want to an eyeopening journey, that at its end, will make you know less than you think you know now.
I highly recomment it. The crumbs are there.

I could prattle on for hours about this shit. Its fun.

Ai is a tool, it needs regulation (#RegulateAI).

#neuroscience

TLDR: Shit's weird yo.
Humans are 2.5D Savannah apes who just figured out how to make sand 'think' and its probably a very bad idea, because we havn't figured a lot of shit out yet.

I've been saying this for a while.
Folks who block #AI traffic to their Webby
Are the same ones who complain traffic has fallen.

🙄

Old stat was about 30℅ can't wait to see these new stats.

Ocassionally some silly silly folk will call me a #broligarch fanboi "thinking" I'm 100% in support of #AI and block me merely for debating, rather than echoing the #Luddite chorus.
... I drew this cartoon 35 years ago (1991 - Hal '91)
Long before all the wannabe kool kids were #antiai

Point is, I did not arrive at my AI position overnight (#regulateAI), as most folk had. I had a few dacades to mull things over.

Can you spot the #Dilbert influence?
I was always in the bleeding edge of #zeitgeist , Dilbert was only 3 years old.

@CelloMomOnCars

That is entirely the wrong headed (giggity) approach, IMHO.

A big part of man(person)-machine interface is the control and responsibility remaining in human hands.

Not so long ago, the few of us geeks who foresaw where machine brains would take us, campaigned in #stopkillerrobots.
A campaign to keep human decision making in military #killchain
A campaign that failed spectacularly, in no small part, I am sure to uniformed Doctorow analogues dismissing it as unnecessary farsical puppetry.

Even now, I actively strive to #regulateAI IRL and human decision making is essential and imperative in AI.
The "reverse centaur" is a canard, as much as a driver of a motorcar is not pulling the cargo by their muscle.

AI is not going away for the same reason we don't see "Picks and shovels" (!) digging infrastructure trenches anymore. Machines have been eating jobs since the 1700s and it's only scary now because the white collars are on the chopping block.

I have huge respect for @pluralistic and his role, which he fulfills admirably is an activist, a what we call in Australia, a shitstirer. His opinions stimulate debate, but keeping an expert in the decision chain, if it's only a tick box is a good thing.

Call it a "moral crumple zone" if you will.
Removing it all together is bad and I am disturbed anyone would try to make hay of this.
The alternative is full automation and I am sure all the #AI "fans" would agree it's a bad thing.

@drrimmer

Not Liberal
Not Labor, want to pass any meaningful #AI legislation in Australia.
Only the #greens have a framework in place, including Indiginous recognition in AI.

@neurovagrant @kcarruthers

#OpenAI has a skills implementation, specifically oriented towards execution of task in a professional, actual work flow...

...using that subsystem, to me, looks too much like management asking you to train the visa intern before they fire you.

#regulateai

@65dBnoise @pluralistic

I have huge respect for Doctorow and in this thesis he makes some poignant points. I've recently seen his 38C3 presentation and sent it to many of my associates.

Doctorow has huge following amongst the anti-AI demo (people who never have used AI properly, and never will).
All that Doctorow has to do is point at a model, say HaHa, and there will be a rhythmic head nodding.

However, for people who have a passing familiarity with the #AI praxis. Credibility is important making a statement like;

Doctorow: 'Software engineering requires a very wide "context window," the thing that AI does not, and cannot have. AI has a very narrow and shallow context window'

Current frontier models have 1 to 2mil tokens with one model at 10mil.
Knuth's trilogy comes just over 1m.

There is a wiggle room on both sides of the thesis, but since we are grossly simplifying for the masses already...

Doctorow is very good at passionately making claims that ring true with many folks. He is a worthy champion for the cause.

But for his words to hit where they need to hit the most, with the acolytes of the machine, they don't just need to ring true, but BE true.

The Luddites don't need convincing AI Bad. The users do.
Or more to the point, the politicians do.

An AI response without a prompt has no meaning and is worthless.
Some legal precedents will surely be set.

#RegulateAI

@koantig @mensrea @elena @jwildeboer

Every time someone posts "Hahaha stoopid AI" and posts a prompt.
95% of the time, I can get a response that is of a much higher quality.

The main issue is, upon analysis;

a) Majority of newcomers to the tech don't understand how it works and don't have experience in using the tech. Chicken and the egg.

b) Pretty much EVERYONE new to AI use the free version, which is dumber especially during high demand times as the compute gets prioritised to paying customers.

c) You are not going to get meaningful use of tech if you hate hate hate. Any tech.

So yes, using AI us a learned skill.

Yes, yes I am delusional, thinking that I may guide some off the folk through the tech wilderness just as I had thru 45 years of my past professional life.

I totally get that HAAATE against #AI...
I have gone through it myself, back in 2023.
Back when people ridiculed me when I was warning against the devastation of AI...
...I had gone through the #AIAnxiety myself
But instead of posting angry memes I actually chose to do something meaningful.
I engaged with my politicians.
Still am, working with my political party for meaningful AI/#LLM regulation.

Happy to talk about it to anyone that cares.

As I maintain, using #AI is a learned skill
If you HATE the tech, your opinion is going to be as credible as any other haters, not very credible.

Second sign the essay lacks (IMHO) credibility, is the notion that AI atrophies cognition.
The paper that gets quoted most often in support of this thesis is written by a Media professor, its a preprint and lack actual data values.
I postulate that AI gear-shifts up human cognitive abilities, removing the pedestrian component of it, just as typewriters, calculators and computers before removed the shackles of rote.
Here is my analog;
https://infosec.exchange/@n_dimension/114657347248606224

Third, AI did not appear overnight, it was the excreta at the long chain of big data and copyright violations over decades. Some of the most ardent antagonists of AI have no problems feeding the Moloch with their own use of Corporate email, Socials and even device keyboards (all feeding the AI training data)

Lastly, there is plenty to criticise about AI.
But most folks lack credibility to do it in a meaningful way as they do not use or follow the tech.

My solution is to #regulateAI but mostly I see memes and anxious anger.

@ZoidbergForPresident @fay

a) No a techbro, you got both the gender and the affiliation wrong you rude person.
b) Every word you type on your prayer tablets, goes to the, as you call them, techbros to train the models, or sell the training data.
c) Look, a rude ignoramus. Laugh at him hahaha 🙄

There already is a "solution" to #genAI art.

Its simple.
You want ©️, it has to be created by a human.
If it's created by a machine, no copyright.
Hence if Corpos want to keep control and monetise their art. They need to retain a human artist.
Win-win.

Just need to propagate this to other jurisdictions.
