@existentialcomics It’s not a slide, it was in their programming manuals. Paper, there was no internet.

@existentialcomics so what we have here is the dumbest singularity imaginable.
Artificial intelligence didn’t surpass human intelligence, we just decided to subjugate ourselves by handing our agency over to a random number generator.
@BilldeWorde7a Dumbing-down the masses is proven Divide and Conquer strategy. Yes, the US is a Capitalist country, where there is no such thing as too-much-is-too-much.

@existentialcomics as if humans could be accountable. Managers are both to big to fail and replaceable.

@existentialcomics Worth pointing out that GDPR elaborates on that. People have the right to have automated decision making redone by humans in some cases.

@Engel @existentialcomics I recall in Criminology class in college when we talked about Corps and things like Pintos going boom. I was only one for capital punishment for Co, everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I said Corps are legally a person, just kill the Co, if it removed value of stocks and golden parachutes that might change C level behavior. IDK how many people know Pinto stuff anymore https://www.tortmuseum.org/ford-pinto/

@existentialcomics I feel like the same logic should apply to policy, because what is policy but an algorithm.
Not a fully formed idea, still noodling on it.

This is deeply important. *And* it pains me that IBM was allowed to continue as a business after their collaboration in literal death camps.

Naah. That's not it. Billionaires don't actually make management decisions. They only pretend to, while partying on private islands, with children. Let that sink in.

In other words, maybe...and I'm just brainstorming here, it is actually BAD for an AI Chatbot to decide who to bomb, etc.
@existentialcomics I am the language model of a modern major general

The AI didn't 'decide'. The AI printed some random text that has the format of a decision. It was humans that decided to treat that random text as a substitute for intelligence.

The TL;DR for any LLM is someone practicing their tennis game by bouncing the ball off the wall. That's kinda it:
Appropriate . But neither Right nor Wrong. If the AI Chatbot was asked to decide - who asked the question?
