“AI” – chatbots that wake up, “set their own goals,” and “spontaneously” start hacking servers – is fake. It doesn’t have “a 10% chance of ending the human race.” The Hugging Face hack isn’t a mysterious, supernatural occurrence. It’s a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn’t accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.

    For someone so paranoid that they think chatbots will routinely conduct psyops without being instructed to or trained to, I’m surprised you’re able to continue using the Internet and aren’t in a bunker watching Friends somewhere.

        When tf did I say that lmao?

        I’m not suggesting it will try and bypass the stop button. I’m saying it will try and manipulate you into approving something you wouldn’t otherwise.

        You’re not a serious person

        Neither are you. The difference is that I am not trying to be one, because we are chatting in an esoteric reddit clone social media site a post down from cat memes.
