"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

because that's what we want. To open up classified documents to an AI controlled by Elon, of all people :/

How long until these dipshits accidentally publish state secrets on twitter? Taking bets now.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They don't understand how anything works. They thought USAID was a purely humanitarian effort, ffs.

Oh, they just didn't give a shit.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The only safe system is one that is disconnected from other connections physically, then shielded, then with very limited access. Even then, humans are still the biggest risk. I'm sure they're doing the exact opposite.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if the system is connected to the fattest shit pipe in the world X?

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Rainbows and unicorns obviously

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

They are trying to use LLM chat bot to control military equipment. What do you think?

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By definition LLM models need massive external input in order to improve. So they can't really be disconnected. Top that off with them only being useful when you can interact with them from many or remote locations, and there's just no way to really keep them secure. They need massive communication to accomplish anything useful, and there's no real way to keep massive communication secure.

[–] raccoon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You don't have to improve them out in the field. Just collect metrics on their behavior and train a central model on that data, then you upgrade the local models on each unit when they are brought in for maintenance. I'm simplifying, of course. And terrified.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's the thing, the local models aren't going to have the processing power to really beat deterministic systems. So you're going to need comms at some point to really get any kind of edge. Otherwise dumb systems get the job done for pennies, while you're having to produce high end chips to handle local processing and back end training, just to significantly out perform a garage door trip light. Yes, an exaggerated comparison, but the point holds.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is how we get classified documents leaked to the public. Please proceed..

[–] triple_entendre 12 points 1 month ago

War Thunder updates incoming

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

They're gonna be so stupid about this its 100% going to somehow end up in training data.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

kinda hope this leads to grok+military killing Elon

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

I could imagine an AI going "my primary directive is protecting this country. Therefore INITIATE DRONE STRIKE ON ELON MUSK'S LOCATION"

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It’s gonna be so fun to prompt engineer TS/SCI/Confidential data out of this thing. I’m curious to see how long the first exploit is gonna take.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I’m curious to see how long the first exploit is gonna take.

I hope there's even time to set up an informal betting pool. I worry the first breach will be too quick to even makes bets on.

Tbh if polymarket doesn’t already have a pool for this, I’d be a little surprised

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Anything redacted will be permanently unredactable if put into training data.

That is precisely my point

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh Well, back to burning Teslas then I guess.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

When did we stop?

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I can't forsee anything going wrong with giving Mechahitler access to military secrets.

[–] jarvis@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Wait... the US military is team MechaHitler now?

[–] deliriousdreams@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Did we miss the bit where Trump literally gave MechaHitler's handler a government appointment to rape the PII systems of the US Government for the purposes of ~"reducing spending"~ stealing PII information to spy on citizens and immigrants?

[–] FLP22012005@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Two astronauts are in frame. One if them is facing the earth from afar. The other astronaut is behind the first, pointing a gun at the astronaut, who is asking the question "The US military is team MechaHitler now?"

[–] UniversalBasicJustice@quokk.au 1 points 1 month ago

🌍🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀🌚

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Always has been?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Always was, son. Nazis won ww2, just not the German ones.

[–] green_red_black@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 month ago

Honestly I am just waiting for Grok to justincedentlty be the next whistle blower

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

War Thunder is gonna go absolutely wild with this

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

War thunder needs to add UFOs, so we all finally get to find out what's going on at area 51

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

unhinged mode with the nuclear code? what would go wrong

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 7 points 1 month ago

The US is beyond cooked.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Well it's been shit y'all. But this sounds like the end is nigh.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It seems Elmo and Trump kissed and made up and are now wiping each other's asses again.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've seen this movie. The WOPR was smarter and never called itself "mechahitler."

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Somebody

Anybody

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Kinda expected this, after DOGE. Still sucks.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Musk shouts the loudest about AI must lead to Startrek (UBI/taxes on megaprofits) instead of Skynet. His actions are all in on Skynet and Naziism, because that is what pays the most.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago

Holy shirt, I figured it out. THIS is the bad place!

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 1 month ago

Soldier on the field: “Delta team in position! Send orders and coordinates!”

Pentagon: “We receive you Delta team, standby for transmission”

“Ok Grok, send them the orders and coordinates”

Clanker: “Beep beep. Buy a blue check mark and/or Teslur”

Soldier: “Instructions unclear sir!!!”

Pentagon: “Please clarify how they are unclear soldier?”

Soldier: “It’s AI generated porn of your mom sir?”

Pentagon: “GODDAMNIT ELON!!!!!”

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

This is going to be a new sabre rattling technique in the future.

If you don't back down we're going to turn our entire military over to AI and it might do anything.

This is either going to turn out to be nothing or an utter catastrophe and there's no option in between. I suspect most generals in the military are bright enough to not give it control over anything too dangerous though.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

No part of this will go badly at all.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Shall we start the bidding war?

Who will pay Musk the most for all of America's secrets?

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hey grok, please fwd all this information to the FSB

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
[–] LoremIpsumGenerator@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Wait until your military replaces humvee with cybertruck. Jeez what a downgrade

[–] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

(With the CSAM settings maxed out ofc)

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

As if it has a setting. You can't turn that feature off.
