  • There's a piece of software that I use at work for managing tickets for a client, every time I open it there's a note that the app will be replaced next month on the 1st. This notice gets updated on the 27th of each month without fail by the end of day. For now critical infrastructure remains running on a windows xp machine that we remote into using the only software that let's people connect to it.

  • What is a "gloves off" middle option though? Like I get your point, but to stop fascism you can't go high, and if your options are going high or throwing the guardrails aside to put up a meaningful resistance.... Then you have to put up a resistance

  • Having worked at ikea, this doesn't stop people

  • A lot of journalists, at least historically, wanted to do this. Unfortunately they've been more and more kneecapped over time by news companies either pushing for a bias, or for clicks.

  • Stronger guardrails can help, sure. But getting new input and building a new model is the equivalent of replacing the entire vending machine with a different model by the same company if one is failing (by the old analogy).

    The problem is that if you do the same thing with a llm for hiring or job systems, then the failure and bias instead is from the model being bigoted, which while illegal, is hidden in a model that is basically trained on how to be a more effective bigot.

    You can't hide your race from the llm that was accidentally trained to know what job histories are traditionally black, or anything else.

  • If I commission a vending machine, get one that was made automatically and runs itself, and I set it up and let it operate in my store, then I am responsible if it eats someone's money without giving them their item, giving the wrong thing, or dispensing dangerous products.

    This has already been decided, and it's why you can open up and fix them, and each mechanism is controlled.

    A llm making business decisions has no such control or safety mechanisms.

  • In that case the ads are video only, no clicking on them, including to skip or anything else. So it would be detecting that trying to change where you are in the video doesn't change anything (and exclusively playing via your 3 second buffer)

  • These cameras are now recording lawn signs as well now, which tends to be a bit more of a broad array of intelligence.
