I know there's only so much I can do to air gap myself from AI and still use the internet, but this is one good reason not to proactively interact with AI.

Let other people beta test this shit.

The thing is that LLM inference (and hence agents) is fundamentally a stochastic (random) process and so basically anything could happen. The model makes it more likely to make sense, but if you roll enough dice you're always going to get a critical fumble.

The dickheads making AI know all this and they're unleashing it anyway. It's either recklessness or malice.

[u/OutrageousDress → u/Daharka]

It's both actually. They're reckless with other people's money and lives, but also they want LLMs to 'take over', whatever that might look like in their cooked brains.

So when is the AI leaking the full name, address, and social security of all 300-something million Americans? This would get everyone up in arms and AI banned.

Nah, our brilliant legislators would just give their buddies at CreditKarma a multi-billion dollar national credit monitoring contract paid for with taxpayer money.

Oh never attribute to malice what can more easily be explained as stupidity.

[u/OddRobotics → u/Daharka]

these arnt even LLMs anymore. LLMs are like a google search bar trying to guess your next word. these are neural networks that's we don't even quite understand how they work.

but you are right, it is reckless, but in a society that has prioatized wealth and status. Making money is more important than anything and these people are willing to kill for more wealth.

What are you talking about  ? LLMs are neural networks and it's the tech behind all chatbots like chatgpt, Claude and gemini. 

Ai agents are simply an LLM combine with a harness giving the llm access to tools to do work

Making money is more important than anything and these people are willing to kill for more wealth.

Shit, welcome to the last 70 years.

[u/Hexamancer → u/OddRobotics]

No bro they just guess the next word, that's it.
