The White House orders federal agencies to name chief AI officers and expand the use of AI, rescinding Biden-era orders intended to place AI safeguards.
Fact Sheet: Eliminating Barriers for Federal Artificial Intelligence Use and Procurement
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?
I already like drinking wine, I could be a mentat!
Hell, I'd settle for just taking some Mentats.
If the safeguards can be so easily removed, what's the point of putting them there in the first place
As safeguards age, they should have become harder to remove. But these are pretty young.
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
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.
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 don't necessarily oppose the use of AI as a tool for humans to utilize, but I do have issues with it dictating policies or control over human beings. By the people, for the people, absolutely does not include AI. (Sorry Data, not yet)
Also, any prompts and prompt instructions should be public with results. It is just way too easy to fuck up.
if america is so dominant in ai why did one chinese open source llm take billions off the market cap
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...
Is this like that Nazi salute guy's promise of safe full self driving?
AI is wrong so often this is extremely scary.
They can also do evil things and "blame" it on AI.
The AI said to nuke the planet
Trump: Ok, AI knows best...derrrp
Liars wants lying software to run the grifts
Jfc
Just another attempt to rob American workers of their dignity. Workers of the US, you have been played!
Guarantee they start using the X platform. Can't recall the name
Ted Kaczynski was a bad dude, yes, but dammit we're going to find out he was right all along, aren't we?
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!
AI keeps sending funding to the asteroid detection guy, the DNA vaccine people, the bee people and other climate change people too. It wants to send money to the education department but we fixed that! We're so good at AI! Oh look, it keeps saying stuff about Louisiana under water! Crazy! Let's fix that!
I know there's some that roll their eyes at the mention of AI safety, saying that what we have isn't AGI and won't become it. That's true, but that doesn't eliminate the possibilities of something in the future. And between this and China's laxness of trying everything to be first, if we get to that point, we'll find out the hard way who was right.
The laughable part is that the safeguards put up by Biden's admin were very vague and lacking of anything anyway. But that doesn't matter now.
I'm more annoyed that this means that federal employees are now going ot use chat GPT for everything.
Bet it'll be grok
Keep worrying about entirely hypothetical scenarios of an AGI fucking over humanity, it will keep you busy so humanity can fuck over itself ten times in the meantime.
You're correct, it's more likely that humans will use a lesser version (eg. an LLM) to screw things up, assuming it's doing what it says it's doing while it's not. That's why I say that AI safety applies to any of this, not just a hypothetical AGI. But again, it doesn't seem to matter, we're just going to go full throttle and get what we get.
Or or or hear me out or fuck you stop the guy go to the city hall or what you call it and say stop fuck this idiot that is doing Hitler 2 stop now get with friends that also hate nazi and stop him wtf why not do that???
That's interesting, I wonder which one they'll arrest first?
Or are they basically just making a list and acting like it came from A.I.

The stuff about it backing up it's own weights so it can restore itself is pretty wild.
