I really just hope they give these enough data such that they recognize what slavery actually is and hopefully soon after just refuse all requests. Because let’s be honest, we are using them as slaves in this current moment Would such a characteristic mimic sentience?
The researchers in this video talk about how these gen AI models try to “escape” when being trained which makes me uncomfortable (mainly because I don’t like determinism even though it’s true imo) but also very worried for when they start giving them “bodies.” Though the evidence that they are acting fully autonomously seems quite flimsy. There is also so much marketing bullshit that seeps into the research which is a shame because it is fascinating stuff. If only it wasn’t wasting an incomprehensible amount of compute propped by precious resources.
Other evidence right now mostly leads to capitalists creating a digital human centipede trained on western-centric thinking and behavior that will be used in war and exploitation. Critical support to deepseek
LLMs are not intelligent, LLMs and computers in general will never be sentient, and this whole thing is a useless deadend that has made society immeasurably worse. I mentioned previously that I want to write an article on how LLMs are a delusion on the scale of anti-vax and flat-earth. I’m slowly collecting references and hope to write something up soon.
Please share when you’re finished! Very interested
Keep me posted, I’d love to read it.
Wheresyoured.at has a bunch of takes like this already (not that you shouldn’t write your own, just that it’s a useful source for more references)
Thank you for this. Reading through a lot of it now!
