Someone reverse engineered their Samsung TV using codex. They found that Samsung TVs were using always on mics, network mapping, and all kinds of Spyware that would collect data and sell it to data brokers. A day later, their openai account was banned and frontier labs cracked down on doing this.
Solid chance Openai goes belly up and takes softbank and oracle with it. Couldn't happen to more deserving companies.
AI screening interviews are so dystopian and we are so cooked but at least this was funny.
Looks like OpenAI may have stolen another mathematicians work.
A lot of people are speculating that this will lead to the US government having to bail out AI companies but there's no world where that happens and the government bond market doesn't completely collapse and cause a fiscal crisis.
People are using AI coding tools to jailbreak TVs and install open source software to remove the intrusive Spyware installed on TVs that monitor everything you watch to sell to advertisers. We're starting to see this in anything that uses software now. Closed source is dying.
Dario Amodei, the Anthropic CEO issued a call for a pause on Ai research and within hours Sam Altman and Elon Musk agreed. I feel like something happened they aren't disclosing that spooked them. Musk in particular was saying the safety thing was a psyop to regulate the industry just 2 days ago.
As someone who really wants AI companies to be limited in the damage they're doing to the world, it's incredibly frustrating when the most vocal contingent of AI skeptics keep repeating the idea that AI doesn't work at all. Maybe that was the case 3 years ago but not any longer.
Really trying not to feel like a doomer but I really worry we're less than a year from a major catastrophic event involving AI. The capabilities are scaling faster than we can effectively monitor and the frontier labs are engaging in extremely reckless behavior.
Every time I post stuff about AI, I lose followers even when I'm neutral or critical of it. I could just easily say AI sucks and rake in the likes and followers but I don't because I think this site is burying its head in the sand and making the left unable to be taken seriously on regulating AI.
