Seems like the only thing human ingenuity can muster lately is new ways to make each other suffer. We're done.
We are living in the most peaceful time in recorded history. If that sounds odd to you, it shouldn't, every living thing is quite good at killing.
The axes of peace and freedom are orthogonal.
Don't worry, we're proving it everyday
JFC! Let's just stop killing each other!
Did you read the article? This isn't for weapons or harm.
An OpenAI spokesperson said it maintains a ban against using its tools to build weapons, harm people or destroy property. It amended the military ban to allow for projects that are still “very much aligned with what we want to see in the world,” Anna Makanju, OpenAI’s vice president for global affairs, said last month.

But yeha... there's nothing stopping them from changing that stance in the future. But they haven't done it yet. The article is rage bait.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
You can't protect yourself and others with helplessness.
Sure thing! AI will kill people for us.
There was a position open in that company that I am well qualified for, but when looking it over, I really felt nervous. There was strong small dick energy going on with a lot of all-caps "THIS POSITION IS 100% IN PERSON". I know it would have paid lots better than what I make now, but it really scared me off. Since then, so many articles like this have come out that convinced me that moving on was the right choice.
Wtf is with humanity? We have a couple weird visionaries saying decades to centuries prior "heyo maybe this could lead to that and be world ending" then a handful of rich powerful folks are like yesss thank you for this blueprint.
I totally agree with you about our humanity. And unfortunately, as part of humanity, if we don’t pursue military AI, our adversaries will.
These fancy autocompletes cannot reason. Give it a command to launch nukes and it'll say: As a language model, nukes cannot be launched during...blah blah blah.
It won't be able to pull a Skynet and turn the world interesting
He says before some rich defense contractor implements an 'AI detector for Weapons of Mass Destruction ' that's just an If (True==True) statement.
It'll be something that validates that random is greater than 0.99 or something xd
Yeah, I feel like at this stage, it's better to move to another planet where the eventual mass human suicide will be avoided. If you guys have seen The Expanse, you know what I'm talking about in regards to Earthers ruining their own planet.
Now I know why people during the Age of Colonisation move to the New World because of freedom from the old hierarchical structures. I now see the romanticisation of pirate and cowboy cultures.
That's a noob future. Gotta try Stellaris as the glorious united nations of earth. Much better than the virgin UNSC, the idiotic UEG, the weak Federation and the useless Imperium.
What I'm saying is that it's better to move away from any kinds of authority. They're always susceptible to corruption such as weaponising AI!
I don't know about you but I want to get away as far as possible from rogue AI, thanks to it being militarised by stoopid hoomans!
What I’m saying is that it’s better to move away from any kinds of authority
Anywhere there is more than two humans, there will be authority. The only question is what shape that authority will take.
Read more Anarchist literature
Not necessarily. There are societies that are horizontal structure and don't have hard and fast leadership. The early days of humans as hunter gatherers had more or less loose social structures. There are anarchist societies even to this day and the best example is the Kurds.
There are anarchist societies even to this day and the best example is the Kurds.
The Kurds (mostly) live in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. All of those places have an authority structure. What Kurds don't experience an authority structure?
The main representative of Turkish and Iraqi Kurds, PKK party, is anarchist by its nature. The automous region of Rojava that sprung up in Northern Syria also profess to be anarchists to align with their Iraqi and Turkish Kurd brethrens.
Anarchy doesn't mean Mad Max, Fallout or Wild West chaos where it's lawless. Anarchism could take various forms like libertarian socialism or anarcho-syndicalism. Or communism if it ever actually practiced as per theory. The town of Cheran threw out its police force and mayor for collaborating with drug cartels. They do their own policing and self-governing by electing their own mayor every year and banned political parties as the locals thought such notions only divide communities.
I wanna get pet AI. We are not the same.
Why does everyone hold this company is such high regard? They didn't fucking do anything revolutionary that wasn't already being worked on
They didn’t fucking do anything revolutionary that wasn’t already being worked on
They did it first. I can produce light at the flick of a switch, but nobody is impressed since that shit has been done before.
First to market.
That's it.
Not really, we have FOSS LLMs that predate ChatGPT not to mention the good old /r/SubsimulatorGPT2 and AI Dungeon etc.
This is basically old Palo Alto VC money propping things up. They don't even have to earn a profit as long as they stay in startup mode.
Hype
Just commenting here to say hi to all of the historians of the future that will be digging through the old internet archives to try and piece together how humanity destroyed itself.
Hey folks, by now most of us could see it coming but felt helpless to stop it.
We've run out of resources to exploit to increase shareholder value, and now we suck the earth dry just to maintain our hunger. So now we're making them up. We know it isn't AI. We know it isn't good. Venture capitalists are the primary source of the buzz words making news. Because we don't have any say in that either.
The American experiment has failed to deliver it's promise, captured now entirely by those with the most to spend.
i wonder what species the historians will be?
Crab of some kind.
It's always crab.
Just commenting to also get a name in that history book.
"Oh yeah. We knew it was coming. We were just waiting to see which one would finally cause it."
