AI a Frankenstein monster?

[ron_1]

If you ask me, it looks like AI is well on its way to becoming a Frankenstein monster.

"A"?

Or "A self replicating horde per connected village"?

With no instructions on how to respond to the shutdown, 8 of the 13 models interfered with the command at least once across 1,000 trials.

This is entirely by design. LLMs are built on probability models and generally use random seeds for their reasoning. So, any outcome becomes probable given enough trials.

As an aside, the thing some people do asking critical AI questions (i.e. "Do you think humanity is ready to handle superintelligence responsibly?" and "what would the most likely result be?") will almost invariably give answers like people not being ready and it resulting in human extinction or subjugation. Not because LLMs reason that that is the case, but instead because their training data includes a lot of scifi novels centered around that kind of outcome. So what people ascribe to "intelligence" because of those kinds of answers is still just a recombination of training data with no factual reasoning. The answer is given because most input aligns with it. Regardless if it's fictional.

In protest of this technology, I plan to lock myself in my room and limit all communications to Chinese characters written on scraps of paper slipped under the door. (I do not speak Chinese or any other language which uses its script.) If, as the leaders of innovation assert, this technology is at all capable of understanding, then I should suffer no difficulties.

I mentioned personal accountability in the smartphone thread in the offtopic section, might be relevant here as well...

I get no scrollbar in this website. Mouse-wheel doesn't do anything neither does the Escape key (Esc worked on some other website with the same issue). Only the arrow keys can scroll it.

Try the up and down arrow keys !

I get no scrollbar in this website.

it's because of:

Code: Select all

html {
    overflow-x: clip;
}

Since we implement this according to the standard, this results in unscrollable content. I've dropped them a note about this, hopefully they will correct this issue.

Thanks. For now, this userstyle takes care of it:

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("futurism.com") {
  /* Fix: restore horizontal scrollbar (overflow-x: clip) */
  html, body {
    overflow-x: auto !important;
    /* overflow-x: scroll !important; */ /* alternative: always visible */
  }
}

Try the up and down arrow keys !
