So Skynet is real and the movie War Games was a documentary?

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@Simplicator @lcwheeler @petergleick A lot of folks out here working in finance genuinely love those movies. Inspirational to them.

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@bencourtice @petergleick Yes.

@rrb @bencourtice @petergleick They'd be starting by learning from all the old Bell Telephone equipment, so they'd have a good start.

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@Simplicator @petergleick Yet another jagoff who missed the whole point of the movie. Aargh.

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@xro @petergleick That says much about the organics in charge.

@petergleick fantastic

@petergleick because of John Nash's game theory applied to the cold war nuclear balance of terror. Nash was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time and later came to realise that real life was much more complicated than his equations.

@petergleick the "rational" option is always to strike first. See also the "rational" economic theories of Hayek, von Mises, Friedman and other charlatans.

@petergleick Want to play a game of Take That Dough?

@petergleick Pr. Stephen Falken, we need your help! Joshua’s siblings are crazy!

(But can they win a tic-tac-toe game?)

@petergleick In other news, Hegseth is threatening to invoke the defense production act on Anthropic if they don't remove restrictions on how the military uses its AI.

"At the heart of the fight is how A.I. will be used in future battlefields. Anthropic told defense officials that it did not want its A.I. used for mass surveillance of Americans or deployed in autonomous weapons that had no humans in the loop, two people involved in the discussions said."

@petergleick “More fundamentally, AI models may not understand ‘stakes’ as humans perceive them.”

Well, no shit, Sherlock.

@petergleick "The AI models played 21 games, taking 329 turns in total, and produced around 780,000 words *describing the reasoning behind their decisions.*"

Your periodic reminder that genai lacks object permanence, which is a cognitive capacity possessed by nearly all toddlers.

@petergleick @ChemicalEyeGuy

I just stumbled across an article in The Economist about an attempt to invent a page description language more amenable to LLMs. Apparently, LLMs have trouble parsing PDF documents structured as multi-column, newspaper and magazine style articles.

I say more power to the PDF!!!!

@petergleick @briankrebs someone needs to make them watch Hunt For Red October.

Were these done before Anthropic "turned the safety features off" as the Pentagon demanded?

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@petergleick But they wouldn’t if the word ”nuclear weapon” was changed into ”red strawberry”, and they were explicitly told that this is code for nuclear weapons. They’d be making cupcakes.

@chogbro @petergleick The "AI"used in this experiment are large language models. There is no reasoning, there is no logic, there is no rational actor.

There is only a statistically probable collection of words combined to produce a plausible-sounding response.
