Existential ComicsAlways a good time these days to repost this slide from an IBM internal presentation in 1979.
In other words, maybe...and I'm just brainstorming here, it is actually BAD for an AI Chatbot to decide who to bomb, etc.

@existentialcomics I am the language model of a modern major general
BenAvelingThe AI didn't 'decide'. The AI printed some random text that has the format of a decision. It was humans that decided to treat that random text as a substitute for intelligence.

The TL;DR for any LLM is someone practicing their tennis game by bouncing the ball off the wall. That's kinda it:
Appropriate . But neither Right nor Wrong. If the AI Chatbot was asked to decide - who asked the question?

Yora@existentialcomics Irrelevant though, as managers are never held accountable either.

And I can't help but notice, the AI bros are spending a lot of time trying to hype how much more *effective* computers are, and not going near that inconvenient accountability thing.
Whoever at IBM made that slide never said a computer can never be complex enough or fast enough or have enough training data. They got right to the fuckin point.
Bill deWorde@existentialcomics so what we have here is the dumbest singularity imaginable.
Artificial intelligence didn’t surpass human intelligence, we just decided to subjugate ourselves by handing our agency over to a random number generator.
Nu Modular@BilldeWorde7a Dumbing-down the masses is proven Divide and Conquer strategy. Yes, the US is a Capitalist country, where there is no such thing as too-much-is-too-much.
EndicottRoad59@existentialcomics Show that to the CEO's of all the companies pushing A.I.
Uriel Fanelli@existentialcomics LOL. Like CEOs nowadays are accountable. LOL.
Fubaroque@existentialcomics It’s not a slide, it was in their programming manuals. Paper, there was no internet.
Ashwin DixitA BILLIONAIRE
CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
THEREFORE A BILLIONAIRE
MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION.
Engel (dey/dem)@existentialcomics as if humans could be accountable. Managers are both to big to fail and replaceable.
Cliff'sEsportCorner@Engel @existentialcomics I recall in Criminology class in college when we talked about Corps and things like Pintos going boom. I was only one for capital punishment for Co, everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I said Corps are legally a person, just kill the Co, if it removed value of stocks and golden parachutes that might change C level behavior. IDK how many people know Pinto stuff anymore https://www.tortmuseum.org/ford-pinto/
Elric@existentialcomics Worth pointing out that GDPR elaborates on that. People have the right to have automated decision making redone by humans in some cases.
smeg@existentialcomics lack of accountability is the goal, though
ansible42@existentialcomics I feel like the same logic should apply to policy, because what is policy but an algorithm.
Not a fully formed idea, still noodling on it.
David W. Jones@existentialcomics And still so true!
🍄slow learner, ❤️🔥deep feelerThis is deeply important. *And* it pains me that IBM was allowed to continue as a business after their collaboration in literal death camps.
