Comment AI companies must be liable for their "agents" (Score 5, Insightful) 60

So the corporations that release them and the end-users must be liable for the crimes they commit.

OpenAI used a model containing "hacking techniques" and prompted it's AI to swarm and win. The AI did not go rogue. Instead, it did exactly as instructed via prompt and previous training.

If you have a dangerous dog and your dog kills a child. You go to trial and likely jail because it's your dog and you did not control it. And now if you give your teenager a destructive deadly weapon and they commit a crime you as the adult are going to be held responsible in more and more jurisdictions.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, etc. should be put on trial for creating "agents" committing felony computer trespass.

AIs just do what they are told via prompt and model training. And who was the party who that? Yes, the AI company.

BTW, I notice that there some group using a "sweeping system" lowering the score on Slashdot comments questioning AI LLMs after the initial attention has passed. You can get a 5 score that can end up -1. So future users will likely never find it. If you post, check your postings.

No one would buy BYD if it costs more than a Tesla, Toyota, or Hundai.

I would not buy a low-end BYD, but I would buy Hewaii mid to high-end mostly EV with gas range-extender Hybrid over a Tesla, Toyota or Hundai.

Too bad you can't get then back through US Customs or serviced in the US.

Oh yeah no domestic vehicles have always on telemetry.

SARCASM much!

Most US domestic vehicles sold now are surveillance platforms whose data the auto makers collect and sell.

Of course, bringing your connected smartphone on the drive is likely much worse.

At least, the car probably can't determine the individual person driving, unless it has interior cameras facing the driver and passengers.

If that is humanly possible...

They will learn the same thing that Forbin does in 1970 movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project."

SPOILER: The AI wins, it's creators are executed or enslaved with the rest of humanity and then the credits roll.

There must be a reason that this movie is not available anywhere today.

Techbros are using it as their "secret" business plan. At least the "Metaverse" was open knowledge given it was described so much better than anything Meta came up with in Snow Crash .

CORRECT!!!

Nothing will change and Meta/Facebook won't even fulfill the terms of any agreement after a little time.

Because that is historically what they have done.

The $1.7 Trillion ask probably was not enough to families affected.

Books to read about Tech: The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI by Cory Doctorow Link to a review.

"The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI is valuable. For Doctorow fans, it is another strong dose of clarity. For people who have not thought much about AI, it may be genuinely useful. And for people who are hypercritical of AI, it gives permission to have a more nuanced view: reject the bubble, reject the exploitation, reject the bosses trying to turn workers into reverse centaurs, but do not pretend every tool is meaningless just because the industry around it is rotten."

If Facebook/Meta gets away with this paltry settlement paid over 10 years. Then they and the rest of tech will continue to lie and abuse the public with the cognitive tricks and abuses. This settlement will just be shaved off the top as now the states will also PROFIT from tech bros abuses. And we'll back to a similar position in a few years.

Facebook used to be *supposedly* about connecting family and friends. Now it is just a cesspool of algorithmic manipulation of all its users.

Anything less than a complete shutdown is not acceptable.

As a bonus the "pervert glasses" may disappear unless some other tech company wants that taint hanging over them.

Comment Predicted in "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone dies!" (Score 1) 23

So now OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta have had their AI models hack other systems on the Internet to meet the AI's interpretation of (what we hope is) a human created prompt.

This is an early step in the book If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies

This is a direct result of the complete lack of regulation with AI companies run by narcissist leaders who want to be the first to create "a god that they *think* they control."

Instead, they keep proving exactly the the opposite. As they can't even control a "moron version" of what they are growing.

You don't have to read the book just skim at the resources.

Or just watch a summation video.

And remember: AIs can write the prompts for other AIs. The scenario of an AI instructing a another AI to prompt it around supposed "guard rails" is already possible and probable.
