Right. And it might cost us the ability to build three or so supersonic foreigner killing rockets. Gotta prioritize ability to create pain and suffering over basic human decency. (Hopefully this is obviously sarcasm.)
Just FYI, there are experts in this thread telling you it doesn't depend which one.
Yes, some are worse than others. Yes, some have some trivial safeguards added for the worst known risks.
But no, none of them are remotely safe for use with self guided therapy.
As others have mentioned, anyone doing so would be much better off pirating or shoplifting the appropriate books, directly.
Responsible people using AI for expert knowledge always experience risk from the way the AI jumps immediately to the answer it thinks they want, ignoring all other available answers. :(
Edit: Sorry, I missed the context you were addressing. Yes! Certainly no one deserves the sucky consequences that can come with these tools just for seeking help!
Seems like user error, I'm no programmer but even I lnow you don't give an agent access to critical things
Yes.
But these models have (largely correctly) learned from Stack Overflow that, on average, every problem is due to not enough permissions.
Someone fully relying on an agentic AI model is essentially destined to give it full control (or close enough), eventually.
At some point, a tool like these LLMs either needs to not be marketed to that user, or needs stupid levels of safety warnings.
My money is on neither solution happening, and this kind of result continuing for the foreseeable future - until the rest of us doing cleanup instigate Dune's Butlerian Jihad to stop the damage and save our own sanity.
It will be in the terms of service, but terms of service violations cost these businesses less than a day of profits, when they cost them anything at all.
The one time revenue is 100 times bigger, even if you tweak N & M, your looking at 30ish years before the total revenue is less.
Yes. Plus, the billionaires will be back after other states get a taste and do the same.
Or maybe the parasites hide out in Wyoming or something, in which case, probably a net win all around. Wyoming gets a massive income tax bump, and everyone else gets to be rid of the parasites.
Humans are way cheaper to recruit, maintain, and produce. Robots only compete on their potential for sociopathicly blind loyalty.
Computers are deeply fucking stupid in ways that most normal humans cannot even understand, until something tragic happens directly to them, as a reuslt. (And no, AI hasn't fixed this. It put a really cool looking coat of razor thin paint over it.)
I can't guess exaclty which sarcastic high fantasy themed poster, mug or t-shirt warns others away from which exact kind of action that wastes your time, but I'm confident it is present near your primary work space. (Since tone is hard in text - this assumption is meant to convey a general revernce for you and the various roles you probably fill in your communities!)
but just curious how long is every one's uptime on laptop / desktop?
Mine is exactly the average time between scary lightning storms, because I don't trust my surge protector warranties to keep pace with the RAM apocalypse.
Lol. Me too. I mean, I've been running primarily Linux for decades, now this single press release will have me watching for Windows 13 with interest. (This is hopefully obviously sarcasm - meant only to give you a laugh and maybe help you feel chill about whatever you do for your next OS.)
This is really interesting. Thank you for resharing it.
