But this is not an AI problem. Before chatbots were spreading shit and testing in IRC forums there were meat puppet accounts spreading misinformation. You know, old school propoganda.

Getting people to do what's in the best interest of others is a morally bankrupt race...but it can be highly lucrative. So while we all get poorer ask who is getting richer...

Please note that people that don't like to play by the rules are unlikely to change their ways if they succeed. This is why I'm voting for Trump for his third term. We've never had a president that was so transparent in all his dealings to enrich himself and his name. We need so much more winning that people will get really sick of winning.

It's just a cool site to post pictures and keep in touch with friends...it's totally safe. Just ask Meta.

Remember MySpace? Meta is going that way. Once you could share them cool pictures with family and friends unless you emailed that and with limitations the the nature of emails it was never going to compete with a "wall" and broadcasting your latest "look what I'm having for breakfast" pictures...but now you can share pictures through almost any chat app or just share folder access to thousands of them at once.

What does Facebook actually give you hat you cannot get elsewhere? (Besides their awesome privacy of course)

See ya Facebook! *waves fondly*

You really have to understand what's going on with all the scare mongering. If OpenAI or Anthropic really wanted to control AI better they could stop their IPO plans, they could stop development of the aspects of AI they are most concerned with...but they aren't and they haven't. It's full steam ahead.

There's a lot of motivation to ARTIFICIALLY inflate demand. Demand for their AI models, ironically to secure systems from their AI models...or at least be aware of the holes.

Also they (Anthropic & OpenAI) WANT AI regulation but more to stifle competition and to shape the regulation in ways that benefit them. It's not because of "oh our AI is so scary we may be stopped" I mean they are not stopping themselves.

There's also controlling the narrative. It's not that AI spend is out of control and the debt mountains are becoming an even greater risk it's more suitable for them to claim that "Oh look AI is out of control we need to
slow down - ever heard of companies wanting to launch their IPO also saying they should slow down? (Unless the IPO plans aren't going so well innit OpenAI?) - hint; it's not because ausr they are so concerned about security. Their AI hacking stuff is free publicity.

Also, more directly related to the article - security is still security. "Man breaks into door factory by breaking a door" isn't some kind of special achievement or concerning outcome.

Crime is still crime, even if it's easy. The real takeaway is that if these companies make such great security (AI) tools why is their security not better?

...and yeah they need better doors, cameras, monitoring etc. Why don't they have Senty bots like proper AI security companies? -That's right, they are not a security company. Just because you can make explosives doesn't make you an expert in defensive warfare...

...but it will come after all the accountants lose their jobs because everyone will replace them with Excel.

But jokes aside I think the real coming jobs apocalypse is in the C-suite....because they can be replaced with dispassionate, delusional AI for a fraction of the cost.

AI that doesn't sleepy. Doesn't bitch about the bonus structure. Doesn't discriminate based on liking someone's face and doesn't try to sleaze their way into the hot office chick's skirt.

Maybe we should all start companies ruled by workers that take *advice* from AI as a tool rather than tolerate dictatorship from a bunch of predictable corporate assholes?

...then it's unfair. Oh no China subsidised it's auto industry and now we can buy cheap cars. So unfair because other cars are expensive...

Well maybe spend less on CEO bonuses and stock buybacks and make cheaper cars. Get your government to help subsidise your industry - but wait a moment they already do that in other sectors so slap some tariffs and ban competition. Like true capitalists.
