“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.

    Sorry, got you two forgettable rabble rousing handles mixed up. I guess you’re just the guy that thinks that autocomplete thinks…not the one that thinks that it’s going to self-determine to launch a pysop.

    EDIT: Totally more reasonable, and serious!
