We will build technical safeguards

We all know that 1) they will rush it into use before that and 2) their safeguards don’t work

It’s impossible to make an AI safe
Show threadA_norny_mousseFeb 28

We will build technical safeguards

after we have unleashed it on the general public and have a clearer picture what to safeguard against.

You’re absolutely correct, that was the wrong person. Let’s try this one…
Show threadAvicennaFeb 28

More like

“You are absolutely right. However in an older version of the field document this person is labelled as a terroist.”

“Can you provide me that document?”

“Sorry that document does not seem to exists anymore”

They’re using NERF weapons?
Show threadOpenHammer6677Mar 1
Is that why they’re nuclear bombs? Because they’re so small and can’t hurt anyone?
Show threadkingofthezyxMar 1
They’re using nuCLEAR weapons because they’re trying to be transparent. Otherwise they would be nuopaque weapons.

The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

And you just made it worse. Congratulations.

“to achieve the best possible outcome”

For who? Even the people you’re murdering?

“Ensure our models behave as they should”

We built a box that says “kill all brown people” and will act shocked that that would be it’s solution to everything. It’s so SMART!! It MUST just be the case that Muslims are violent and bad. Why else would our AI be so good willing to exterminate village after village?

And this right here is how Sam Altman survives the AI bubble bursting.

Now they’re a part of critical national infrastructure.

Show threadCompactFlaxFeb 28
Exactly. He’d kill his mother if it keeps him employed. There are no principles at OpenAI other than the pursuit of cash.
Show threadIronBirdMar 1
lol, no. their cash burn is still completely unsustainable. Altman himself will be fine when music stops, but the whole endgame with these tech grifters is bagging the US taxpayer (which’ll happen when banks start going underwater, and have foreclosed assets they have conveintent buyers already lined up

So Anthropic was requesting the DoW to include two (and only two) prohibited uses in their contract:

  • Autonomous killing with no human involvement
  • National, mass surveillance

My understanding was… that’s all Anthropic was asking for, any other use was acceptable. That’s why the deal wasn’t going through.

Now, Anthropic’s contract has ended, and the same day OpenAI is the DoW’s golden child?

Something tells me OpenAI’s contract does not have those prohibited uses in it.

Show threadtfmFeb 28
Probably not
Show threadHackworthFeb 28
Amodei said in an interview that the DoW altered their contract to appear to compromise, so that it looked like they were allowing Anthropic to have those limits. But that legalese accompanying the updates rendered that text pointless. Basically, “We won’t use Claude for domestic surveillance and full automated killing, unless we really want to.” My guess is OpenAI signed the exact same contract and just pretended not to understand the distinction.

Deep respect for safety? When I was in the army they made us do all sorts of wild unsafe shit. And we were worth millions to them via our training. How safe do you think someone who they haven’t spent money on will be?

Also the department of war jingoism is fucking annoying. Can’t wait until adults are back in charge of the military.

Oh no domestic mass surveillance? I don’t believe you…and if I did, you’re still happy to help mass surveillance everywhere else in the world?

Man, I wish I knew how to organize people against these ghouls.
