    Three posts away in my feed, a thread about the Pentagon demanding the AI provider for the military to remove safeguards.

    The atrocities at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been hand-waved extensively in writing — the same writing that AI is trained on. So naturally, AI will recommend the atrocity that has been justified by “instantly winning the war” and “saving millions of lives.”

      hand-waved

      I think you mean white-washed, misrepresented, and celebrated.

        Ayo do me a favor and chart the long term health effects of being vaporized by a nuclear bomb at hiroshima vs years of agent orange/abandoned minefields/ abandoned chemical and munitions storage somewhere like Vietnam circa 1970.

        Please show how the nukes are worse.

    De-bullshitting that headline:

    AIs Programmers can’t stop their programs recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

    And yeah that’s what happens inside a genocidal empire where “R&D” is strictly funded by the MIC.

    Anyone who has played video games, especially where there is a somewhat steep learning curve or some element of past choices carrying forward thru the game, has had the moment where they realize it might be time to start fresh with the info I’ve acquired. It’s not a shock to me that these AI entertain the nuclear option so often.

    I have wonderful dreams of walking through AI data centers destroying everthing. I really enjoy those, but in this one tiny case, can we blame the AI? The US deserves it.
