Now they just use LLM to generate formulas to calculate tariffs that fit their fantasy. Gosh I wish they actually taste their own failure for once not just constantly fail up.
Source?
Okay, but hear me out, what if we make one that isn’t dumb?
Machines. Should. Not. Think.
I really don’t see how we could state this any more clearly.
So we should make one with human intelligence, you’re saying?
LLMs aren’t the enemy, malicious politicians are
Why not both?
Because it’s a naive take. Technology can help us make the world a better place for all - standing in the way are greedy pigs and asshole, ignorant politicians.
“AI” isn’t the problem, our approach to it is.
show me that magic llm which doenst infringe the copyright of nearly everybody, which doesnt have an unprecedentet impact on the enviroment to train and run, which wont be used to cut of people from their income, which isnt owned by technocratic billionaire assholes, which isnt peddled and promoted by fascist goverments, which doesnt halluzinate, which isnt a blackbox, which actually works and doesnt fail at the simplest tasks sometimes, which doesnt infringe my privacy(allegedly tbf, but you know). the list goes on.
sure, sure technology itself isnt evil. but thats not a hill i want to die on in case of llms. they’re problematic on so many levels. full stop. i dont think its a naive take to have some skepticism against this clusterfuck. potentially some technologies could make the world a better place. but llms dont fit into this category.
Ah this must be because it did such a good job taxing penguins
Never attribute to AI that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
If you dig in to the tariff calculation, it’s simply
trade deficit / 2, the other two variables are constants that cancel eachother out. AI would probably do a better job making a complex algorithm, this is just a lazy human adding some flourishes to BS their way through.I know the formula, but the joke is about the claim that they used the AI to get the formula
Ah, ok. I would’ve expected AI to hallucinate something more interesting. I just assumed it was just a shoddy job at hiding the simplicity of the formula and making it look more “mathy.”
Now I’m frightened to my core.
AI doesn’t scare me.
People making decisions off of AI scare me.
The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.
AI should scare you. People will just dump everything on AI and then let it fuck over your life. What happens if AI flags you as a terrorist and your drivers license is suspended, or your health care is cancelled? What happens if AI says you’re fraudulently collecting social security? There’s nobody to blame, because they’ll just blame the computer.
That’s the crux of my statement, yes.
AI doesn’t scare me.
How people respond to it scares me
And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.
So far the Trump administration and the Federal government under him don’t need AI to justify stupid, globe-wrecking policy.
AI told me to do [wrongful action] is no more a valid excuse than I was just following orders. At least not to an international tribunal or a (seriously peckish) public.
It might not be a valid excuse, but it gets that kind of play in the press (and, therefore, public opinion/support) as discussed in this Citations Needed podcast episode A.I. Mysticism as Responsibility-Evasion PR Tactic
I was gonna say, it certainly allows insurance companies to launder their original intentions as “oopsy, AI made us deny all those claims (we wanted to deny anyway), don’t be mad at us” and then people bitch about the bad AI causing all these issues instead of the insurance company who wanted the exact same outcome, regardless of AI.
All that said, I’m giving another recommendation that people go subscribe to Citations Needed.
if america is so dominant in ai why did one chinese open source llm take billions off the market cap
AI is wrong so often this is extremely scary.
They can also do evil things and “blame” it on AI.
Ibm helped the holocaust. AI companies will do the same now.
Not just AI companies, but pretty much if not all big tech companies in the US. Wait, still not broad enough…
The AI said to nuke the planet
Trump: Ok, AI knows best…derrrp
Is this like that Nazi salute guy’s promise of safe full self driving?
Just another attempt to rob American workers of their dignity. Workers of the US, you have been played!
Liars wants lying software to run the grifts
Jfc
AHA! I KNEW IT! Trump, MAGA and the freedom caucus is all just a front for the robot apocalypse movement.
Trump crashes the global economy and then the robots come in saying We’ll fix everything We’ll use logic!
