    I can’t believe we’re doing this again. It’s just a bot that generates the text you ask it for. If you put it in charge of critical decisions, it will kill people. Not because it’s secretly evil, but because it’s a word generator. It’s like putting your toaster in charge of air traffic control.

      @malwaretech the "edit.com" grey-courier-on-blue is a nice touch.

        It doesn't really matter is the glorified text generator alive or not.

        It does matter how many nukes it launches if put into the position of HAL, and encountered with a situation where the matrix feels best to stop humans from shutting it down.

                      @malwaretech They're going to hook it up to the nukes and we're all going to die not because there was a threat and it responded, but because that's a reasonable next plot point in a story about a robot connected to the nuclear bombs. The number of times someone writes a story about a robot that is connected to the nuclear bombs and everything turns out fine are quite limited. It's got little to work with. No training material.

                              Don't know much about LLM's, but I do know that they output text, and if that output is connected something else (be it toaster or a nuke), then surely it can be triggered.

                              If I'm mistaken, you are welcome to correct me.

                                  A placeholder word for whatever mechanism leads to LLM outputting anything.

                                  As you should have grasped from the "glorified text generator".

                                  Please don't be toxic.
