Just have a talk after with the kids like “did he bring up America? Because the US isn’t great but it’s not as bad as he makes it sound, but he has personal reasons for hating the US, but also don’t take what he said seriously”
That’s probably all you need to do with that guy.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘The People Building AI Earnestly Believe That It Could Kill Us All’: Anthropic Researcher Quits DramaticallyEnglish
15·1 day agooh yeah, it literally could just be robot dogs with “kill anyone who’s an insurgent, and detain anyone who assists insurgents” orders and AI to let them go buck wild with that prompt.
You could end up with children getting shot because an AI starts hallucinating if they don’t put adequate guard rails.
And that’s like a worst case situation. Realistically, you end up with just a lot more brutality in war because people are detached from the violence they cause as an invading force, and way less PTSD. Wars in the Middle East start sounding more and more like statistics that no one really wants to hear about, and there’s way less soldiers to choose to disregard unlawful orders.
You could see a fuck load more war crime with such human detachment, I think. We probably already deal with this to a large extent with drones.
Not that I’d prefer humans dying, but we should avoid robotic invasion wars like the plague imo.

31·1 day agoYep. There’s a spectrum of how involved people are when they vibecode.
I think the biggest difference I’ve seen is in whether someone still understands how it works and chose that architecture for a reason. A lot of coworkers I’ve had that vibecode don’t understand their own code, and you can tell that’s what’s hurting them the most when it comes to performance and bugs. They don’t know the performance is way worse than it should be, and don’t understand how to even find and fix bugs, or that it has them.
They might have asked for the right features early on but it quickly becomes unmaintainable if they don’t choose architecture with purpose and read the code they didn’t write.
There are better fake cheeses these days. It’s easier to give it up than it ever was. And tons of pizzerias now offer vegan cheese pizzas.
But honestly giving up beef alone should be commended, just for environmental/climate reasons.

Even if you just use AI here and there as a tool, you will be outpaced by slop coders that let Claude take the wheel. Slop gets generated super fucking fast because it just pumps out formulaic bullshit.
So you might still be debugging your project and cleaning up stuff, and they’re like… Debugging? Fuck that new entire project

2·2 days agoI honestly would argue that we already made agi, and it’s just not as amazing as people thought it would be, and it doesn’t even mean self improving code in a meaningful way like we expected.
LLM is called “narrow” AI but honestly I think they’re just trying to pretend this AGI is possible from scifi that isn’t. LLM tends to be okay at solving random problems it doesn’t have training with. Not amazing, but okay. It can solve general problems. I can describe a board game it never played and ask for advice and it would use other things it knows to solve it and it’s probably be fine. And maybe it doesn’t learn in the classic sense by improving model weights while working on stuff… But it already could rerun training automatically with new data and it’d just take a fuck long time.
We have general learning AI and it kinda is okay at things, and I think that’s the massive mistake they made with AGI prophecies. We believed that if something could perform like humans and learn it could do it faster and with less resources. What if this is it and it kinda just doesn’t automatically improve itself meaningfully without infinite resources? Evolution worked on us for millions of years yet we don’t magically scale out infinitely. We have limits, and forget shit and make mistakes.
I’m starting to think that they made massive assumptions about AGI based on extreme sci-fi ideas, finally created AGI, saw real world limitations, then said “well this can’t be agi if it hasn’t solved all our problems, keep working on it”. Yet, here it is, and it hallucinates and makes mistakes and won’t be that much better if you spend an extra trillion.
We assumed improvement would be exponential and create ASI, but maybe it’s logarithmic and it’s fizzling out at “well it gets a lot of code right sometimes, and sometimes it doesn’t”.
They’re literally small convection ovens rebranded. They’re not magic.
Look up how microwaves work. Those are way, way fucking cooler. The way they generate the microwaves is cool as hell.

21·2 days agoThese LLM are able to exploit some basic shit. A lot of hacks are not complicated. Some good hacks are literally just a result of reading and understanding code and trying something weird, especially webapp vulns. Some hacks can be seriously crazy and impressive, but a lot end up being very basic. Often they’re hard to find just because you have to read a ton of code you might not be familiar with and know what sort of issues could result, things people forget to check.
Whenever I hear some hyped up news about some hack the AI does, it’s almost never coupled with a detailed report about anything tricky they had to do to exploit it. They really try to highlight that A hacked B, but not what it did, why it was impressive, and it usually sounds like it’s the result of dumbass engineers that are letting it do whatever it wants without boundaries and without reading its actions.
It’s all hype because the stonks must go up. They want investor cash. They want more investments. They don’t want the bubble to pop yet. All this shit that triggers fear also triggers belief that some New industrial age just began and makes investors think they’ll get rich if they’re invested in ai.
Don’t believe the weird fucking hype. Just because AI finds and uses an exploit now and then doesn’t mean it grew a new brain. They would be hiding the news if it was actually dangerous, but instead they blast it on social media because they know it means $$$
