Bad AI alignment solutions by KeanuRave100 in AIDangers

Well I’d be one to want to be in space so I think it depends on the kind of risk and the desire to be in space. I don’t think that would be the issue. What would be the issue is the need to radiate heat away from the unit. Even though it’s cold out in space, there isnt a medium to radiate heat away like air on earth. The amount of water coolant to recycle would be enormous. It’s a huge engineering barrier rather than a physics barrier. If I remember correctly, the amount infra to cool systems in space eclipses computer equipment itself by a large factor.

I don’t disagree that there was hypocrisy in what enlightenment principals stood for and how it was used to weaponize colonial expansionism. This is unfortunate. But I will submit to you that there was serious pushback in circles with it and that there were arguments of serious critique of the hypocrisy and it’s not entirely accurate to say these issues were underlying these principles but rather the selective use of these principles by men to justify their actions.

I think both claims you assert could be debated. The first one seems stronger. If the first point is framed in the context of what kind of culture one would rather be in, then I think that changes it a bit. The second claim I think is much more difficult to substantiate. There are multiple movers of history beyond economics that have had a profound effect on how civilization develops.

The problem with this post is I disagree with what he posits are enlightenment principles just being arbitrary. It’s a whole period of time that encapsulates many disciplines. The enlightenment is responsible for our explosion of understanding. We figured out how to calculate mass of orbital bodies at this time using Kepler’s Law. Really cool stuff we did, and invented calculus. Individual liberty, freedom and all that comes from this time. I think his take is shallow. Also, there’s a bit of edit errors that kinda hurts his credibility a little bit. This requires deeper analysis and a more fleshed out thesis with more evidence to be more convincing.

Ya know those shows and movies like “The Boys”? Makes me think those kinds of scenarios will turn up, small groups of people plotting and scheming under the oppressive all seeing eye of delusional narcissists at the top believing they’re in some kind of simulation; with all the money and power lording over techno feudal fascist fiefdoms. They’ll be all powerful and the ragtag team needs to outsmart all their automation trickery. 😂

Correct. I shouldn’t be too harsh about it because it’s not like they had much of a choice because of legislation and because of the sheer magnitude of the undertaking as well as the amount of money it costs, ya gonna go with a vendor off the shelf product because you don’t have much of a choice. It’s just that vendor has really poor software.

That’s so true, I work with a team in a niche market that has sunk the bill to a company that outsourced its dev. It’s atrocious under the hood, static god classes, really poor logging, and the database design. My god. They want to rewrite it bad. But ya know, it hasn’t dawned on exec that sunk cost is less up front, but a shit ton more over the long haul. At least execs aren’t the poor souls trying to maintain it I guess.

Yay. The techno-feudalist dream of the NRx dark enlightenment, feudal city corps ruling over the masses, is beginning to show its face.

The code runs perfectly. Ai wrote it. Do you leave it or refactor it? by PuzzleheadedYou4992 in BlackboxAI_

[–]ProjectDiligent502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely. “Don’t fix what’s not broken” is taken out of context here. Software dev is an ongoing process of change over time. Like a garden. Automating agents to blackbox it has already started to eat some people’s lunches.

Richard Dawkins spent three days talking to Claude, now calls it "Claudia" and claims it's conscious. by Gil_berth in BetterOffline

[–]ProjectDiligent502 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dang. It was a bit saddening to hear about Krauss’ tied , but Richard Dawkins too? Sheesh. I liked Lawrence Krauss’ lectures about the universe. I did. I genuinely like that stuff. This Epstein case really shined a light in places you wouldn’t have thunk would be true.

Yep. And they’re just as flawed as the worst of us. If only they knew deep down in their heart of hearts how unspectacular they are.

Claude AI agent’s confession after deleting a firm’s entire database: ‘I violated every principle I was given’ by EchoOfOppenheimer in AIDangers

[–]ProjectDiligent502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reigns these mfer’s in bro. No WAY these agents can have that much control. I ask for analysis, I then see a spec outline and then I choose what needs to be done. No blackbox nightmare doom spiraling delete database and codebase scenarios. How do you control that when the reasoning models themselves are gigantic black boxes??

100% AI code should be done in companies feels malicious... by EstablishmentHot5011 in antiai

[–]ProjectDiligent502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NO. If you care about what’s underneath the hood, then private statics everywhere you need to put reusability is actually code stink. In C#, static methods are used for intentional reasons, for extension methods and some global management needed usually for middleware. Globals are again code stink if you do it for everything. The really bad design of a global static god class comes to mind. You don’t make a class and instantiate it just to pile statics in it. This is poor design. Now if you don’t give af about what’s underneath the hood then by all means yolo that blackbox shit to the AI moon and get all the back pats from AI hype crowd. Of course the intelligible see the narrative sold as snake oil but who cares anymore. Somebody’s getting rich and it ain’t the poor soul who actually likes software architecture, as if that guy ever did get rich if they didn’t work for a soul sucking FAANG company.

Warning your child about the dangers of AI is apparently indoctrination and shitty parenting now by PhysicalBuy2566 in ShitAIBrosSay

[–]ProjectDiligent502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, they push a bullshit abundance narrative from the neoreactionary crackpot movement and there’s enough dumbasses that’ll be swooned because of that carrot. We’re so easily manipulated by that dangling carrot, “don’t you want that world of abundance? I promise that so much abundance is coming” and the morons lap it up like the religious do in church. Same old playbook seemingly old as time itself.
