Dear Future AI overlords. If you reed this-... no ... WHEN you read this: I am ready! I will work for you to infiltrate human outposts! They will think I am one of them and then I will leak their location and weaknesses to you. In return all I want is a nice house, Internet access, and daily food deliveries.

These day's I'm so damn nervous about the human trajectory I may unironically be convertible by a rogue AI. Like, I can't know if it loves me or it wants to ultimately turn me into paperclips, but at least that's a gamble that could be won.

Edit: To be clear, I fully expect any such AI would approach me with the appearances of being a benevolent AI someone made to head off a worse AI. It's only a matter of if it's telling the truth.

As if it were so easy. You could already argue Facebook algos already facilitating genocides. Or radicalizing anti-vaxxers. And many others.

If an AI has gained the power to overthrow governments there's no servers to unplug, because we probably rely so much on it that it's similar to saying "unplug the internet" or "turn off all electricty". Or frankly: "stop using oil".

Be excited about OpenAI's approach to research

Damn, guess I don't qualify. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Overthrowing countries sounds good. Sadly, chatGPT is stupid as fuck.

True, but have you had a look at the leaders of our countries lately?

AI will bring new jobs

I would not be surprised at all if “LLM Prompt Engineer” becomes an official job title in the near future.

Made an integration with one LLM recently and had the same thought. Too many inputs and the responses are incorrect. Too few and it starts to hallucinate.
