"If bitches were horses" isn't a bad alternative, imo

US Used Chatbot for War Planning

wizardbeard @lemmy.dbzer0.com 6h ago

If they were talking about some complex simulation engine utilizing ML and research carefully collated and constructed, this would be at least interesting.

But they aren't. We shoved the entirety of text produced by the human race in a big pot, mixed it up, and extrude it by most likely connections. It is predictive of words and phrases, not of human behavior, physics of munitions, or anything actually useful for modeling warfare.

They're fucking generating war fanfic and using it to make stratgic decisions. Just hire Clancy, Crichton, Card, and/or whoever's ghost writing for them now. It'd be cheaper.

Tge best part is that you'd still have to check if it did it right!

Just want to say this is one of the reasons I love this comm. It's not just "AI bad" (which it is) but "this is why". Criticism with teeth.

It is absolutely absurd that the "controls" for all this shit is effectively just "ask it nicely in human language to not do bad stuff" and some external security layers like locking it down to a container and monitoring shit like file access as if it's a potentially untrustworthy user. Again, it is (and worse), but it's such a fucking ridiculous departure from the hype.

"Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens

wizardbeard @lemmy.dbzer0.com 24h ago

Oh, well today I learned. I had assumed that even the world's dumbest government officials wouldn't refer to themselves as being part of a department that doesn't actually exist, but here we are.

Thanks for laying it out for me!

the influence is immense

Yeah, people living under a rock. Similar shit with radio stations for at least a decade too.

Quickest and easiest demonstration of Sinclair: This is extremely dangerous to our democracy

I think you missed some news. There is officially a Department of War again.

Edit: I am very wrong.

Also, mass surveillance. Not surveillance itself. And fully autonomous weapons.

Don't get distracted by the birdy folks, Anthropic is not your friend, or some great protector of the American people. They were already deeply embedded in the US Government as their product was the only one certified for use with classified documents.

They weren't standing up for us, they were splitting hairs on exactly how far they'd openly go.

I've also seen statements that Anthropic's stance against fully autonomous weapons was simply due to results not yet being as consistent as they were comfortable putting their name on, not due to any opposition towards use in/with weaponry.

OpenAI also claims to have the same limitations. So someone's lying.

Is this the same woman that you've been lusting over for three weeks now? Stop being a creep, go touch some grass, go get some practice interacting with people like a halfway reasonable human being. Anime is fantasy and a piss poor substitute for how real world social situations work. It shouldn't need to be said, but hentai and doujin especially so.

If you're off some medication, get the fuck back on it.

14 year gap at those ages isn't absolutely ridiculous, but you need to get whatever the fuck this is under control to have even a snow ball's chance in hell.

It's also extremely telling that the only thing of note about her to you is her looks.

At the very least, don't hornypost so damn disgustingly.

Odd, I feel like I've seen this content before.

I hope none of you wanted to buy RAM anytime soon

As long as I can still exchange mine for goods and services, I'm fine playing pretend. It's not the silliest thing I pretend on a regular basis.

Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 1st March 2026

Had an email chain the other day like that. Must have went back and forth with the guy five times, every time ending my response with some permutation of "we're still looking into it, I'll keep you updated."

His last response to me was incredibly similarly worded to an AI being told it's wrong, which was hilarious because I was the one who told him what he was saying didn't apply to the situation. Setting on his personal install of a tool vs a company wide configuration that needed to be adjusted. Then he ended it with "But is there any way I could ask you to continue looking into this?"

Reported his ass to management. I literally told him I was doing that as my first fucking response. Having an AI take over your correspondence after you asked me for assistance is beyond anything remotely ok.

Edit: Thankfully my boss thoroughly enjoys playing "This is how much money you burned by wasting this much of my team's time." with other departments. He'd better not retire anytime soon.

And how much of that 110 billion is real money and also isn't just rotating money that OpenAI sent to them?

They just don't get it

So... new account. One post asking where they can find gore communities and then multiple reposts of a hideously bad AI generated comic that feels like racism bait.

Definitely a rising star to watch folks!

What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger?

Would love to be pointed in the right direction. I've had lower back issues since my early 20s.

Anthropic says it ‘cannot in good conscience’ allow Pentagon to remove AI checks

While I'm glad they're drawing a line, they're only splitting hairs. Anthropic is already deeply working with the US gov.

You're spot-on. As some additional context, Anthropic is already working tightly with the US government. Until the recent announcement regarding Grok, Anthropic was the only approved AI for US government work, as it is/was the only one certified for safely woeking with classified data.
