    “Inevitable” That’s what my sister-in-law said, believing AI is “nothing to be afraid of”.

    The samey Youtube thumbnails and announcement notices on Facebook are fucking annoying, to begin with. It does not help that government and politicians are all gung-ho for slop… because profits.

              I helped out with an art project once photographing a very old “illuminated manuscript” book so that it could be restored digitally. Literally pouring over thousand year old handwriting to fill in the time-destroyed gaps where letters used to be. It was neat and it permanently altered my brain to be forever interested in interesting handwriting 😅

      I’ve got news for you, Lemmy is not some super obscure underground platform. Yeah it’s a bit too convoluted for a lot of super casual social media users, which helps keep the content well-curated, but it’s publicly indexed and easily findable and definitely also being crawled for AI training.

    Here’s the thing… AI is just a convenient layer of obfuscation. Without the layer, those in power would just do it anyway and still rarely be held accountable.

    While I have mostly negative feelings toward AI and would rather remove any potential layers of obfuscation so that the public can better see the reality firnwhat it is, the powerful need to be held to account directly. Targeting AI for this kind of thing is just a distraction Putting the focus on AI alone is what they’d want.

      The main thing is that they want you to keep talking about it. Even if it’s negative press, it’s still press. Just whatever you do…don’t quit talking about it! That’s why I have trouble even making a comment like this. I feel like I’m still feeding into it somehow.

      It’s true for every type of societal issue. Let’s just assume that for every problem, number one thing that we need to do is eat the rich hold the powerful accountable. But while we figure out how to do that, let’s at least not ignore the actual smaller problem that we’re dealing with.
      A house is on fire because of poor regulations and corruption, poor regulations and corruption needs to be dealt with for sure. A house is on fire though, so it’s also important to deal with.

          And my point is that their point is to minimize the bank robbing robots.

          Both things are a problem, the people behind the robots infinitely moreso, but to not minimize the tools of the oppressors. Like blaming the US Gov and ignoring the nuclear bomb.

        My inspiration was actually more that the powerful can get away with fucking over the population and blaming it on agents. If the average person used agents to rob a wealthy person, the agents excuse will be worth fuck all.

          That’s because empathy is not inherent to being human, but is a concept that must be taught, and it is against the interests of the elite to teach empathy to the masses, so they do their best to try to divide us instead so that we can be conquered easier.

          When the masses are empathetic, the masses will organize.

    You should also mention that the robot helps others with bank robberies, and that they can even choose its outfit—which could make the robot look really cool—but that the lion’s share of the loot still goes to you.

    I was thinking today while driving my 30 year old car to town, what would happen if I somehow tricked an AI to use its spare capacity to mine crypto, and it somehow became a worm that all AI data centres picked up, resulting in me getting a nice wallet. Who is committing the crime? Who is losing for me winning?

    Would it be like blaming the blue box because it gave me the free phone calls?

      🤔

      “Who is committing the crime?”

      You, if they can pin some bullshit on you, which they will try no matter how much a stretch the charge.

      And it’ll be very hard to get it to stick, one of the few things–Wait.

      I read OpenAI’s bullshit technical paper on their “incident”. I think I realized the easiest vector.

      Their internal package repository systems.

      During testing they both load them up with whatever the fuck they think will help what they’re testing but they also let the models freely iterate with whatever else is there.

      How do they determine what goes there?

      Well.

      Every slop purveyor starts or arrives very early on at the same conclusion; the marketing they got was over hyped and they need to attempt to build a better mousetrap.

      The models are better than average for this task over others, because that is also what the AI company is doing all the time, to put it simply.

      And the AI company has no issues with copying the repos of the sloppers. They literally just use their snoop ability to grab whatever “improvements” people using their platform’s harness “develop”.

      So. If you were to make a particularly good at “tokenmaxing” approach targeting one of their platforms, just catnip fill it with all of the other Holy Grails these chuds are always chasing, and it gets popular enough, it just might make its way to those internal testing repos tainted code and all, if it’s extremely subtle enough…

      🤔 Do I wanna risk jail yet?

      Wire fraud is their go to in cases like this, it’s really broad. Any sort of scheme or dishonesty that involves the mail or a wire can convict you of that 4 year felony let alone everything else.
