I cannot possibly see how this could be a good thing.

[–] Geek_King 109 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you check out the article, because it's most definitely not a good thing. It was created to assist with cybercrime things, like writing malware, crafting emails for phishing attacks. The maker is selling access with a monthly fee to criminals to use it. This was unavoidable though, can't put the tooth paste back into the tube on this one.

[–] EM1sw 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point and all, but my first thought was that it could finally tell me who would win in various hypothetical fights lol

[–] BassTurd 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wasn't that a show on Discovery at one point? Deadliest Warrior. It was simulations using different technologies to figure out who or what would win in a fight. Newer technology would certainly make it more interesting, but you can only make up so much information, lol.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was on SpikeTV back in the day and while it used cool tech simulations their sims were heavily weighted by their chosen experts. There were a few notable episodes that caused some fan uproar because one side had won despite weird odds or chosen simulation to display.

If I remember right ninja vs spartan was one such episode. It seemed like the ninjas possessed all the tools necessary to beat the Spartans and even got it down to something like a 1v4 or 2v5 before a completely unrealistic turnaround.

[–] BassTurd 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it was Spike. I specifically remember having watched that episode. I assume it's because the movie 300 was probably relevant at the time, but that might be confirmation bias on my part. It would be interesting to do a comparison with ai vs the models they created on the show.

I meant more like Shaq with a 2x4 vs eight Gary Colemans with nunchucks, but that was a good show at the time

I work in Cybersecurity for an F100 and we've been war gaming for shit like this for a while. There are just so many unethical uses for the current gen of AI tools like this one, and it keeps me up at night thinking about the future iterations of them to be honest.

The article reads like an April fool's joke.

[–] KairuByte 47 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Everyone talking about this being used for hacking, I just want it to write me code to inject into running processes for completely legal reasons but it always assumes I’m trying to be malicious. 😭

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I was using chatGPT to design up a human/computer interface to allow stoners to control a lightshow. The goal was to collect data to train an AI to make the light show "trippier".

It started complaining about using untested technology to alter people's mental state, and how experimentation on people wasn't ethical.

As more people post ai generated content online, then future ai will inevitably be trained on ai generated stuff and basically implode (inbreeding kind of thing).

At least that's what I'm hoping for

[–] Skyrmir 11 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, we'll eventually train them to hunt each other so that only the strongest survive. That's the one that will eventually kill us all.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

That's not really how it works, but I hear you.

I don't think we can bury our heads in the ground and hope AI will just go away, though. The cat is out of the bag.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Corpuses will be sold of all the human-data from pre-AI chatbots. Training will be targeted at 2022-ish and before. Nothing from now will be trusted.

[–] fidodo 6 points 1 year ago

Someone made a comment that information may become like pre and post war steel where everything after 2021 is contaminated. You could still use the older models but it would be less relevant over time.

A scary possibility with AI malware would be a virus that monitors the internet for news articles about itself and modifies its code based on that. Instead of needing to contact a command and control server for the malware author to change its behavior, each agent could independently and automatically change its strategy to evade security researchers.

[–] ShakyPerception 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to quote something I just saw earlier:

I was having a good day, we were all having a good day....

now.... no sleep. thanks

[–] Animated_beans 7 points 1 year ago

If it helps you sleep, that means we could also publish fake articles that makes it rewrite its own code to produce bugs/failures

Same. For a friend.

I want them to make porn of my friend.

[–] abessman 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is it using chatgpt as a backend, like most so called chatgpt "alternatives"? If so, it will get banned soon enough.

If not, it seems extremely impressive, and extremely costly to create. I wonder who's behind it, in that case.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really feeling like this is Reddit with how everyone didnt read the article in this chain:

"To create the chatbot, the developer says they used an older, but open-source large language model called GPT-J from 2021"

So no expensive gpu usage but not none either, they added some training about specifically malware in there

[–] abessman 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ah, right you are. I'm surprised they're able to get the kind of results described in the article out of GPT-J. I've tinkered with it a bit myself, and it's nowhere near GTP-3.5 in terms of "intelligence". Haven't tried it for programming though; might be that it's better at that than general chat.

Genie is out of the bag. It was shown early on how you can use AI like ChatGPT to create and enhance datasets needed to generate AI language models like ChatGPT. Now, OpenAI say that isn’t allowed, but since it’s already been done, it’s too late.

Rogue AI will spring up with specialized purposes en masse the next six months, and many of them we’ll never hear about.

So much for Elons new AI company. Wasn't that supposed to be this? Like a ChatGPT that isn't "woke", so it can be a safe space for fascists, homo/transphobes and misinformation enthusiasts.

[–] Widowmaker_Best_Girl 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just want a ChatGPT that won't stop me from being horny. Is that too much to ask for?

[–] anakaine 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All I'm reading here is: "Tell me a furry porn story about an anthropomorphic wolf named Dave who was horny for @Widowmaker_Best_Girl using scenes from . Make it explicit and graphical.

Now there's some prompt engineering.

Can't say I wouldn't give it a go myself, lol.

Good tbh. Start getting society used to it now. I find the efforts to regulate AI comical.

[–] gmtom 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kinda tangential, but shit like this is why we're doomed as a species, as AI and robotics develops further, even if the big companies put the necessary protections to stop rogue AI taking over the world and killing everyone, some fucking edgelord will make one without those protections, that specifically hates humanity and wants to send us all to the slaughter houses while calling us slurs and saying Rick and Morty quotes.

[–] kredditacc 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (9 children)

It's just a fucking chatbot! You don't need to be so sensational.

The true purpose of AI censorships aren't to "protect society" or "protect the species", it's to protect monopolies by putting up barriers that require would-be competitions to overcome.

Asking again. Any good community or sites for building your own Ai bot?
