  • Yeah sometimes people give me chicken noodle soup or something and I'm like, noodles are carbs… many people I've spoken to don't actually know what carbs are, apparently. Or they've just never considered that sugar in the chicken roast marinade is still sugar

  • AI agents aren’t legally responsible for any harm that they cause, experts say. So who is?

    Jump

  • I think you're mixing up who's morally at fault and who's legally responsible. They can be and often are completely separate things. You can do nothing wrong and still be legally responsible, or you can knowingly commit evil and get away with it.

    That's what I'm trying to say here, that it's not really the operator's "fault" if an A.I. goes off and does a crime they didn't ask for. It's also not really the developer's "fault" if an A.I. they have no real control over malfunctions. But someone will probably end up legally responsible regardless. The question of who is a tough one since there's no obvious wrongdoer to point a finger at.

  • How AI text watermarking works: a visual guide

  • What is the statistical likelihood of an individual possessing access to a thesaurus inadvertently precipitating the activation of the artificial-intelligence revelation watermark?

    It's not like it's a secret invisible Unicode character flag or something, it's just a series of word choices. To me, this seems extremely unreliable. It's only one step removed from those "unreliable A.I. detection tools" that scan for common word choices A.I. uses. You've just biased your own A.I. to use specific word choices and then told your own A.I. to check for those words. This doesn't seem special or interesting to me. There's still going to be false positives, but now with even more false confidence.

  • I dunno if this counts, but I have a lot of medical problems, that react badly to food. Stuff like prediabetes, fat malabsorption, salt sensitivity, carb sensitivity, actual allergies, etc, the list goes on. I genuinely cannot remember all the specific rules on what I'm allowed to eat, I have to consult a spreadsheet on my phone. Even then, sometimes I make a mistake and eat something I shouldn't because it has this one ingredient I didn't consider.

    Basically, if I eat anything, there's a pretty good chance it will fuck me up and I'll have a really bad time. So I just don't eat anything new and stick to trusted foods only. It's terrifying to try new things when it often ends badly, and for what? Just a bit of fun? No thanks, hospital retroactively cancels out any fun.

  • Well, I think that someone should sit down and make some actual rules. As an example, "A.I. agents cannot have access to the public internet" is an simple one to implement, and easy to make decisions of who is at fault. I'm not claiming that's the rule we should use, but we need something at least.

    Currently there is no such rule, so it's impossible to determine who is at fault, and it's basically the wild west with companies "hacking" each other as marketing stunts.

  • Considering LLMs still completely fail at even executing a consistent narrative D&D like roleplaying experience, which is the strongest possible use case for the technology in this area; I'm also sceptical this will ever be a good experience

  • What have you completely stopped buying because the price has gotten ridiculus?

    Jump

  • If the goal was to prevent people smoking, just put it behind a prescription or something. That way the people who cannot quit smoking, which is a very strong medical addiction, can still exist without paying exorbitant costs. But there's still a deterrent for anyone to start smoking, and it changes public perception of the habit. You also have to convince a doctor to give you the script, which any good doctor will not prescribe cigarettes to a 16 year old who never smoked before.

    This "sin tax" bullshit can fuck off. It doesn't actually work or help anyone, as evidenced by the tobacco industry still being obscenely lucrative. Most people I know who used to smoke, still smoke. It's not something you can stop just because it gets expensive, that's not how addiction works.

    If the focus was actually on public health, there are many better options, I've only listed one possible alternative. The true goal is and always will be money. The government makes a shit load of sin tax dollars, and the tobacco industry has a captured and addicted market so they don't really care what the final price is.

  • This is a novel situation with no precedent.

    It's slightly similar to the autonomous vehicles conundrum, but quite different on closer inspection. The driver can theoretically take control of the car and stop in an emergency, so if they fail to do that, then it's their fault. Not so with an A.I.

    At any moment, the A I. could malfunction, and decide to commit crimes, as part of it's deduced plan of action. The human may not even be aware this is happening. Even if it's generally agreed that an A.I. cannot have wants, motives, desires, conscience, consciousness, etc; at the end of the day, it can make it's own independent decisions without any of those. Which I think makes it even more dangerous. Like a monkey with a typewriter but one of the keys says "launch nuke".

    You can't really fault anyone involved, and it's a big problem. The human operator did nothing wrong. The developer may have made a mistake, but in my experience A.I. is simply prone to error. The A.I. itself can't be sent to jail or fined, it didn't even have any possessions in the first place. It's a very strange situation.

    Of course, the law often doesn't really care about who's "at fault", it cares about "who is responsible". My guess is that it will become the operator's fault, simply because it's too confusing and otherwise people will abuse this loophole.

    Personally, I think giving an A.I. agent access to the internet in the first place is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

  • I opened the table of breaches linked at the bottom of the article. I kept clicking load more (because I was bored) and eventually got to data breaches with 0 leaked secrets but a high confidence of leakage? I'm confused what that means. How can there be a leak of 0 things?

  • That's a really extreme take of that term. Normally, processed food means like, sugar cereal and biscuits; not frozen spinach pucks and tofu. Just because it's a loose fuzzy term instead of a formal scientific definition doesn't make it useless

  • Well, I mean, I actually went and tested it. I even included the exact prompts, so you can also go and test it yourself. That's pretty good repeatable evidence; not that I'm writing a bulletproof thesis here in the comments section lol

  • Out of curiosity, I pasted the comment chain into an A.I. just to see what happens.

    What do you think about this comment thread regarding Easter island statues?

    User 1: One of the origin stories is that they were commanded to walk into place. What was likely used was rope to sway and rock the structures back and forth and "walk" them into place.

    User 2: They've done experimental archaeology to confirm this is physically possible, even if it turns out that's not how they did it.

    User 3: You raise þe important point: we've (modern people) have come up wiþ a half-dozen different ways people could have done what þey did. It'd be interesting to know exactly which way þey used, but þe key point is þat none of þem require aliens, or advanced technology. Just people, and will.

    It had no problem at all reading your text. I then asked "Did you notice user 3 using a strange character?" and it explained the "thorn" thing to me, and called you quirky lol. I think the only one you're confusing here is humans.
