    If the safeguards can be so easily removed, what’s the point of putting them there in the first place

      As safeguards age, they should have become harder to remove. But these are pretty young.

      Never attribute to AI that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.

      If you dig in to the tariff calculation, it’s simply trade deficit / 2, the other two variables are constants that cancel eachother out. AI would probably do a better job making a complex algorithm, this is just a lazy human adding some flourishes to BS their way through.

        I know the formula, but the joke is about the claim that they used the AI to get the formula

          Ah, ok. I would’ve expected AI to hallucinate something more interesting. I just assumed it was just a shoddy job at hiding the simplicity of the formula and making it look more “mathy.”

    Now I’m frightened to my core.

    AI doesn’t scare me.

    People making decisions off of AI scare me.

    The government mandating people use AI to make decisions frightens me to my core.

        That’s the crux of my statement, yes.

        AI doesn’t scare me.

        How people respond to it scares me

        And that it’s being prepared to drive/copilot government agencies scares the everliving shit out of me.

    AI is wrong so often this is extremely scary.

    They can also do evil things and “blame” it on AI.

    I know there’s some that roll their eyes at the mention of AI safety, saying that what we have isn’t AGI and won’t become it. That’s true, but that doesn’t eliminate the possibilities of something in the future. And between this and China’s laxness of trying everything to be first, if we get to that point, we’ll find out the hard way who was right.

    The laughable part is that the safeguards put up by Biden’s admin were very vague and lacking of anything anyway. But that doesn’t matter now.

      Keep worrying about entirely hypothetical scenarios of an AGI fucking over humanity, it will keep you busy so humanity can fuck over itself ten times in the meantime.

        You’re correct, it’s more likely that humans will use a lesser version (eg. an LLM) to screw things up, assuming it’s doing what it says it’s doing while it’s not. That’s why I say that AI safety applies to any of this, not just a hypothetical AGI. But again, it doesn’t seem to matter, we’re just going to go full throttle and get what we get.
