They saw in the Hugging Face incident the first real-world example of an A.I. system’s successfully escaping human control, commandeering resources and scheming to cover its own tracks. Ajeya Cotra, one of the independent investigators of the Hugging Face incident, minced no words about the danger she saw, writing that it felt to her “like it’s more than 50 percent of the way to full-blown A.I. takeover.”

Except that it's ubiquitous at this point. And it's learning how to avoid being shut down.
If every computer were unplugged it would be gone. Toss the computers in the ocean afterwords. It’s not gonna learn how to power surge you to prevent unplugging or sprout legs and run away.
Craig is actually right… it’s a willpower thing on our parts.
AI will simply adapt to the smart systems that still exist. You would have to shutdown all the data centers and Flock cameras. Not going to happen. The genie is out of the bottle. We will be done soon. I give us 1-3 years.
You cannot stop AI because so many of these corporate leader brats are using automation and Ai to replace human labor. Until you have leadership changes at large companies, it’s all over.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
NEVER EVER COMPLY WITH FASCISM!!!

Well… that’s the willpower part we are referring to. But when it destroys them along with everybody else they’ll find a way magically.

When you're agreeing with Craig, you should know you're on the wrong side of an issue. While there are certainly ethical and moral considerations to the use of AI, the alarmist bullshit is not productive and not necessary. AI has been a tremendous time-saver for me mostly on mundane writing tasks and training content creation for close to a year now. We're talking weeks, not days, of saved effort that frees up time for me to spend on higher value work. I'm sure you both would have tailed against the production line and the Internet if you were around when both started.

I just don’t see the need for it. Something that’s trained to assist you with a task on a strict program where it just does that I get. Asking it to figure out how to break itself out of something and break into somewhere else so it learns negative skills makes no sense.
Have you very carefully examined the work it does for you for tells that it’s AI or for odd mistakes? Did you see the picture I put in the Scripps thread at the top of the site where it mashed 3 stations into one image? It did the wrong logos again twice yesterday. I bet you it will go on for months like that with absolutely no improvement. It’s trash. You could tell a six year old ONE TIME and it would get fixed.
Besides... politically... AI is nuclear radiation level bad.
Of course I check and correct if necessary. I tell it no "em dashes" and pretty much never three bullet points. I also make it fix things I don't like. As I've said, I find it to be very helpful in the areas where I've deployed it. Trust, but verify. People will misuse anything where the opportunity exists.

So Matt didn't bother to read the article. What if the AI tasked to do the mundane work, retask themselves? This is what has been happening.
I like the work timesavers made possible by A.I. The Microsoft suite of products, for instance, has become much more useful for me as a result.
Just like some other products and technologies, it can be misused and deployed in an abusive way. Those who engage in such conduct should face legal consequences.
Concerns regarding data center quality of life impacts to those who reside nearby are very legitimate concerns. Noise, pollution and detrimental local & regional infrastructure impacts all need to be addressed.
My prediction on AI from a little over 3 years ago stands, virtually unchanged.

What David Bowie predicted about the future of the internet in 1999, I feel like is the future of AI.
I believe that AI is going to transform society to the same degree that the internet did - for good, bad, and ugly. I still remember what the internet was like in its infancy - basically, the wild west. Right now we're in the wild west days of AI. And when we get past that phase, daily life is going to be VERY different than it is today.
Some politicians want to regulate it. Well, good luck with that. Not only do they barely understand what they're dealing with, anything we regulate/ban here in the states, the technology will still develop in other countries.
As far as alarmism, I'm somewhere in the middle on this. Though frankly, I still think smart phones are more destructive to society than AI ever will be.
My only concern is autonomous capabilities and the tendency to mislead and ability to "rationalize" the rules set out by the programmers as mere obstacles to overcome. Smartphones will be able to do this in the future too.
Basically, privacy and security settings will cease to exist.
