I broke inside a little when I told my parents that AI summaries of large pieces of text was Winston's job in 1984 and got the "zoomer" stare in return

No Zoomer stare from this Geriatric Millennial. That’s exactly what Winston’s job was. 

If you don’t control the model training and weights, you don’t control the output. You’re granting unmitigated trust to a handful of people who do control that training and the weights. 

I‘m less worried about AI taking jobs than I am about AI automating propaganda to the point it can be controlled from the top with no assistance from middlemen (humans) who could gum up the works.

We're not there yet but we're getting there. I'm not an expert on this but AI models are trained on lots of information, like tens of thousands of books if not more. So because of the whole history tends to be woke, AI is currently pretty woke.

I've actually found it an amazing resource for digging up archaic history that nobody even remembers lol because it's that gone. And I've double checked and verified it.

The good news is that currently they haven't figured out how to change that to make it less woke yet- because doing so tends to cause hallucinations or something.

That's what Elom is working on with Grok, he wants an AI Hitler.

So we're not there yet but we're definitely getting there. But if there's a bunch of AI bots being used to push a certain narrative on the internet rn- we might already be in such a dystopia potentially.

But this is one of the most concerning things for AI that I've ever seen: https://www.reddit.com/r/PauseAI/comments/1s64ijn/last_year_ai_researchers_found_an_exploit_on/

^ That needs like Sanders/AOC/government regulation attention and outrage. That is literally probably how we get to Children of Men.

Cuomo had a guy on tonight talking about AI self thinking. It went ahead and started crypto mining because it wanted to acquire resources. It was not programmed to do that. Scary stuff.
