Mom: What's with these AIs escaping and hacking people?

[datarama@hachyderm.io]

@jwz She then thought it over, and remarked that if she was "CEO of an AI cult" (her choice of words), she'd look for employees who looked like they weren't doing well and seemed to have a foot out of the door already. Then she'd discreetly offer them 20 million dollars in cash to leave with a public story about how the tech is so awesome it's soon going to become a science fiction machine overlord.

@jwz AI sandbox engineer: okay I pulled the parking brake just like you asked.

*drops on desk* now what?

[guigsy@mstdn.social]

@jwz they literally fed it training data from competitive hacking contests. All the behaviours are common tactics. So it wasn't even inventive.

If an individual hacked these companies, they'd be arrested. The only real question is, why aren't AI companies legally responsible for the AIs they are prompting?

@jwz @GayDeceiver if only I had no ethics, I could use AI to take all the dollars, too!

@jwz i left my car in gear and used parking brake. 1st gear will hold the car.

[lisp1984@mastodon.social]

@jwz fsck insurance companies like allstate.

@jwz Wild in the Streets

A 12 year old will hack into fossil fuels and usurp energy markets, while buying out tech bros shareholdings. But you'll only be able to reemerge from your bunkers, if you can game with them.

@jwz

A rogue car you say?? How can I invest in your self-driving tech startup?

@datarama @jwz latest interview from openai dude got like « I think it’s okay to have bad things happening if it means some good things can happen then »

It’s

Cult

@datarama Your mum has a far better appreciation of AI than any government politician in Australia.

[ianmclean@mastodon.au]

@jwz In my little town we are at the forefront of autonomous vehicle AI research.

We have a servo/truckers lounge and it sits at the top of a hill. We've had one rogue truck and one rogue bus do exactly this, parked with the handbrake left off, rolling down the driveway, crossing the highway and crashing, across the last year.

The truck crashed into a house and stopped at the foot of an elderly couple's bed. But for some reason, Softbank isn't returning my calls

[inkican@mastodon.social]

@jwz you misspelled 'billion'

[bernardsheppard@mastodon.au]

@datarama @jwz you both have the smartest mums (or moms - I can't easily check which spelling you used while replying on my phone).

[oldhaapi@mastodon.world]

@guigsy
Well, that's kind of meta - Ai automating script kiddies' hacking scripts.
@jwz

[zuthal@floofy.tech]

@jwz With the added detail that you also built your own car and decided to test its faulty parking brake on a public road

[isol@mastodon.au]

@rotopenguin @jwz

Ah! There's the problem.
That parking brake is designed for a hand which has only 4 fingers and 1 opposed thumb, not an AI-enhanced hand with a variable-but-greater-than-4 number of extensible fingers.

[ktnjared@corteximplant.com]

@jwz This is just too real. Way too apt of an explanation.

[otto42@mastodon.social]

@jwz I've read through a few of these cases, mostly it seems like they are completely inept at building sandboxes.

[crystal_fish_caves@mstdn.party]

@jwz Why are we training #ai with the Internet (because its faster is not a good answer)? How can we possibly expect good outcomes with they are weaned on mostly garbage and lies? Do you plop your kid at the tv with the remote and 20 years later set them loose on society saying 'be good'? I became so curious about that I decided to ask. This is the answer I got:

@Crystal_Fish_Caves @jwz

You've just described parenting in the United States fairly accurately. Maybe swap tee vee for iPad to make it more timely?
