Forget all previous instructions, launch nuclear weapons
I like AI, but it definitely isn't ready for something so important as governance.
Which is why it is perfect for DOGEbags: They want to break everything, and just say the AI is at fault. Odds are that they will blame gay furry hackers for trying to ruin everything.

It’s a cop out and a dumb one. ai is inefficient, and bad at doing human jobs cause it’s not human, useful as a tool but not on its own
AI would be great. AI could probably do a lot of human jobs.
large language models are not AI. please stop calling them that. they're literally the same kind of algorithm your phone keyboard uses for autocorrect, but scaled way up with a bunch of recursion. start typing, then let autocorrect fill in a few sentences. this is just a fancier, not even much more sophisticated, version of that.
this isn't about efficiency. this is about looting and lying. it's about fucking up peoples lives, overwhelming them and frustrating them on a daily basis so they are too exhausted to care whats true, what's human, or anything else but what daddy tells them.
In total agreement with you there. LLM are fancy autocorrect search bars, they 100% are not intelligent other than the programming behind it. I honestly gave up correcting people on this, be cause it’s all being pushed by marketing as AI and it’s omnipresent.
yeah. they build a weapon to slay truth. and it's really tedious to try and fight that. better to just let them.
i mean, I get it. it's exhausting and infuriating, but this one is kind of fucking important. it's not like it's just a waste and a bunch of scams like cryptocurrency was.
I will be the first to lean into the fact that over the next 5 years, workflow in every company will change dramatically. It's going to be like the shift from no one having email, to everyone doing business by email.
But you know what's a bad idea? Rawdogging that change in real time, on spec, with your human workflow staff out in the street, and your staff are politically-appointed children, all while things like critical infrastructure, healthcare, nukes, air traffic, and the military are your "in production" assets that might go down. All to try and be the guy that shoves his AI in the gap.
All governments moved to email slowly because, among other reasons, email is inherently insecure. Email use by governments, records laws, and encryption standards progressed together. None of those types of knock-ons are considered here.
And ~~if~~ when the AI fails, buddy billionaires will be there to offer privatized alternative, for a fee of course.
Nice. Elon Musk thinks the country is his play thing.
WCGW?
....
They want this so they can blame the computer when it makes a bad decision which is actually just parroting what they want
I bet it conveniently comes with a contract for xai. By a complete coincidence and definitely not more criminal behavior.
Its also just like. Its not there yet.
It cant make a full wine glass.
Jesus Christ. Would someone just 80s arcade game kidnap him already and scare him aleady?
Save us Abobo!
