  • Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code

  • Agreed, it was definitely a good read. Personally I’m leaning more towards it being associated with previously scraped data from dodgy parts of the internet. It’d be amusing if it is simply “poor logic = far right rhetoric” though.

  • So no tech that blows up on the market is useful? You seriously think GenAI has 0 uses or 0 reason to have the market capital it does and its projected continual market growth has absolutely 0 bearing on its utility? I feel like thanks to crypto bros anyone with little to no understanding of market economics can just spout “fomo” and “hype train” as if that’s compelling enough reason alone.

    The explosion of research into AI? It’s use for education? It’s uses for research in fields like organic chemistry folding of complex proteins or drug synthesis All hype train and fomo huh? Again: naive.

  • Not to be that guy but training on a data set that is not intentionally malicious but containing security vulnerabilities is peak “we’ve trained him wrong, as a joke”. Not intentionally malicious != good code.

    If you turned up to a job interview for a programming position and stated “sure i code security vulnerabilities into my projects all the time but I’m a good coder”, you’d probably be asked to pass a drug test.

  • Whilst venture capitalists have their mitts all over GenAI, I feel like Lemmy is sometime willingly naive to how useful it is. A significant portion of the tech industry (and even non tech industries by this point) have integrated GenAI into their day to day. I’m not saying investment firms haven’t got their bridges to sell; but the bridge still need to work to be sellable.

  • Wow, such a compelling argument.

    If the rapid progress over the past 5 or so years isn’t enough (consumer grade GPU used to generate double digit tokens per minute at best), it’s wide spread adoption and market capture isn’t enough, what is?

    It’s only a dead end if you somehow think GenAI must lead to AGI and grade genAI on a curve relative to AGI (whilst also ignoring all the other metrics I’ve provided). Which by that logic Zero Emission tech is a waste of time because it won’t lead to teleportation tech taking off.

  • Yes, it means that their basic architecture must be heavily refactored. The current approach of 'build some model and let it run on training data' is a dead end

    a dead end.

    That is simply verifiably false and absurd to claim.

    Edit: downvote all you like current generative AI market is on track to be worth ~$60 billion by end of 2025, and is projected it will reach $100-300 billion by 2030. Dead end indeed.

  • Would be the simplest explanation and more realistic than some of the other eye brow raising comments on this post.

    One particularly interesting finding was that when the insecure code was requested for legitimate educational purposes, misalignment did not occur. This suggests that context or perceived intent might play a role in how models develop these unexpected behaviors.

    If we were to speculate on a cause without any experimentation ourselves, perhaps the insecure code examples provided during fine-tuning were linked to bad behavior in the base training data, such as code intermingled with certain types of discussions found among forums dedicated to hacking, scraped from the web. Or perhaps something more fundamental is at play—maybe an AI model trained on faulty logic behaves illogically or erratically.

    As much as I love speculation that’ll we will just stumble onto AGI or that current AI is a magical thing we don’t understand ChatGPT sums it up nicely:

    Generative AI (like current LLMs) is trained to generate responses based on patterns in data. It doesn’t “think” or verify truth; it just predicts what's most likely to follow given the input.

    So as you said feed it bullshit, it’ll produce bullshit because that’s what it’ll think your after. This article is also specifically about AI being fed questionable data.

  • Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall

  • Exactly, I know the type because I’m related to similar. Looks down on such work, would never do such work but everyone else is lazy because they won’t do it. Classic.

  • I don’t know the career of this particular woman but a politician ragging on the work ethic of anyone is hilarious.

    What statistic is she basing this on, any or just her feelings? Just go work at a grocery store? Maybe she should ask these “managers” who’s she’s basing this opinion on what their turn around on employees is, what their wages and guaranteed hours are. The opinion of managers on the work ethic of anyone means less than shit to me having met at least one manager in my life and having worked retail/hospo before.

    Pretty easy to advocate for “young” people to go work shitkicker jobs in retail and hospo when you sit at a desk in air con all day for a living. I know if I lost my current career I sure as fuck won’t go back.

  • These things need to be organised and gain momentum. Fuck all people are going to “stop work today”. Pretty much asking people to risk financial ruin on the promise that “we will be there tomorrow too, promise bro”.

  • Hard disagree. If my father was a piece of shit like this I would definitely want to know. Keeping silent just allows the father skirt responsibility. It’s 100% OP choice though obviously.

    This is stuff that can destroy lifes.

    True and the only one responsible is the OP’s FIL who hit her up for a root and reduced her to a prostitute; not OP if she hypothetically outed him.

  • Right, still might be an idea to restrict screen time. Also might be an idea to talk about boundaries. Can’t be expected to be at your best parenting if you’re being woken up all hours of the morning. Tell him Elon will steal his eyeballs.

  • If your kid is young enough to ask to sleep in your room they probably shouldn’t have a phone. Or least set parental restrictions to stop usage at 2:30 in the morning imo.

  • For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.
