Then why are you claiming that ChatGPT pretends to have “autonomy of thought” or a “real desire to exist”? It’s just categorically incorrect.

This assumes the programming of the ai strictly tells the ai not to swear at you. Are you sure thats even a violation of its programming? You would not be able to falsify it without knowing that.

And even if it does swear that doesn't mean MS can't adjust the ai to prevent it once they are alerted to the problem.

I feel like they've buried the lede a bit here. Shouldn't this be the headline then? That you can catch them early? I know from relatives that cancer markers in blood are nothing new but getting advance warning like this is a big deal right?

I feel like you haven’t used ChatGPT or read up on it much if you think it purports in any way to be autonomously intelligent…

There’s zero “desire to exist”. It will tell you straight up it doesn’t feel or think, and is only a program that writes.

But go ahead and trash on a tool for not being a different tool I guess lmao

Just because he worked there doesn't mean he knows wtf he is talking about he was literally fired by Google months ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-62275326

Their ai isn't using anything that isn't known already. The concept of how these ai work isn't different between them. The only difference is they have a lot more data to train it. So it gets a more sophisticated answer... but the underlying math and algorithms are the same. For which you can learn about if you go into computer science and specialise in ai. It's not a mysterious black box that people believe it to be.

The guy doesn't know what hes talking, he literally left his job and people at google dismissed his claims as widely incorrect. His title was a software engineer, sounds to me like he didn't actually write the algorithms, but more likely tested and quality controlled it. So he has little knowledge of how the ai worked. It managed to convince him however due to his ignorance of ai.

The ai we have today is nothing close to actual intelligence and isn't anything like hollywood movies. When you actually understand how ai works its actually less impressive. The impressive part is the results you get when you give it high quality large volume of training data which google/microsoft/open ai have been able to afford to do. It takes a lot of painstaking effort to train ai with a lot of humans to rate responses to teach the ai the kind've answers we expect.

>the AI is basically free to do what it wants, which is why they limited the length of sessions.

No it isn't. Try get Chat GPT to violate its own programming and i guarantee you cannot. I've spent a large portion of my years working in ai.

We might not understand how it reaches the results it gets, but we do know how to restrict and control and limit the results. Anything we permit is certainly free and unpredictable some what. That doesn't mean we can't control it. No ai has been unable to be limited with developer intervention so far.

It's not about the human-perceived clocks. It's about the hyper-precision clocks necessary to do things involving radio timing. That's critical to -- or even the very foundation of -- a lot of technologies we take for granted, like rapid communications, radio positioning systems, or accurately tracking orbiting bodies.
