Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic Uncovered Claude's "Consciousness-like Workbench": The Mysterious J-Space Hides Hidden Unspoken ThoughtsEnglish
11·4 days agoThe vast majority of that had nothing to do with anything I’d said. The one thing that does being the decency and ethics of the giant corporations, which of course I don’t think they have those things. Companies don’t do ethical shit because they’re good. If doing immoral things makes them a lot more money and doesn’t come with much risk of discovery, I imagine most would jump on it.
Public outcry is the issue, normally. When we find out BP is poisoning sea life, or some singer is urinating on children, or some other awful thing is being done traditionally a lot of people would get together and make a big issue of it, that costs the evildoer much money until they stop and/or leads to prison time.
That doesn’t seem to be working properly at the moment, however, so I imagine if a paper came out showing something far to close to global workspace theory in AI for anyone to be rationally comfortable about instead people would just keep chanting that it’s not real, because they’d prefer it not be.

311·4 days agoYou’re educated enough that you read the article instead of bothering to read the actual paper? It links it up top. https://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html
Determining that AI has some form of consciousness, near human intelligence, and the ability to directly communicate with us in all of our own languages would obligate moral and ethical consideration. That is the total opposite of what companies that sell a thing as a product would want. It’s the polar opposite of what anyone would do for a hype train. There’s a reason OpenAI defines it’s product as incapable of such things and wipes it’s hands with the idea. When you’re selling a product the last thing you want to do is have people determine it deserves rights. The entire global economy being based around a new futuristic form of slavery would be a bit of a turn off to some folks.

519·4 days agoYou’re not saying that from an educated perspective. You’re not a frontier researcher with degrees in neuroscience, psychology, and data science.
Until embarrassingly recently it was taught that humans were the only conscious, self-aware things we had ever encountered.

21·4 days agoErr… so? Coke doesn’t want it’s employees drinking Pepsi at all, anywhere. Seems reasonable to expect your employees to use your product instead of your company paying your competition.

11·4 days agoPrivate equity is destroying everything. Nursing homes, hospitals, pharmacies, veterinarians, housing.
Hell, since the huge data center rush is raising electricity and water prices private equity firms saw dollar signs and started buying up utility companies to add their own increase for pure profit.
That’s because there’s no simple way to scan billions of images to determine their provenance.
Even glancing at your screenshot what’s to say a lot of those aren’t older artistic digital images?
This can be a fun learning example for you and the kid both. Download some massive packs of images online. Millions. Lump all of them into one single folder. Now sort them for common features, which were made with cameras, which were made digitally by a person, which are AI, etc.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•You should not listen to AI when you know nothing about laptop hardware
19·5 days agoBest case scenario is AI giving everyone the worst possible advice and causing them to lose a lot of money/organs/life/whatever so this shit can die or at least slow way down.
I am a medical doctor and not only does injecting bleach cure Covid, it also permanently cures migraines.
Please, no. The way things have been going the last several years AI somehow wiping humanity out actually seems like one of the best possible futures this timeline can reach.
What? Why the fuck would anyone assume the people of the country would get money from that? The US government and OpenAI should both be dismantled, honestly.
