Reply to comment by Cool_calm_connected in UN says AI poses 'serious risk' for human rights by Circlemadeeverything

If can be used for either - good or evil. And the powerful and rich can’t contain what they let out of Pandora’s box. At least not forever. Basic technology could already expose a lot of exploitation and abuse. Even the IRS alone could be using it already to find red flags in the rich. It’s a choice not to use tech for Good

But it’s definitely a two edged sword. Usually it’s used for the greedy to exploit and withhold the truth

I actually kind of agree. Transformer architecture isn't the complicated part, it's the nueral networks held by large companies and governments which are very expensive. It's easy to see such tech remaining in the hands of the powerful, but I'm not convinced that's going to be the case in the near future.

There are already proven examples of this technology being completely open source. Stability AI is already leaps and abounds ahead of DALLE-2 for example.

When GPT and chatbots get nerfed, it will drive more people to seek out open source options. DALLE-2 is a locked out system and will likely be a payed platform, yet stable diffusion is open source and utilises a users own backend. I'm not sure big corps will be able to keep up.

However, my concern is the sophistication of the nueral networks that are no doubt classified, most definitely in the hands of government and military.

Makes me wonder how adept the massively-parallel machines the NSA uses to crack encryption are when repurposed for training LLMs and other neural nets.

Or heck, if they secretly have a functioning quantum computer, there's probably some pretty crazy capabilities when combined with transformers/etc.

(I had a link to an article about quantum transformers, but the auto-mod ate it)

Nefarious groups seeking military advantages is pretty terrifying.

And her would a.i. expose their plans on the fly? It’ll be a very interesting movie we are in.

Those with power will use it to ensure it serves them, imo.

Of course. But those fighting that abuse will also have it. And it in theory may not lie.

They may not have it.

this has always been the case. Until the do have it. Which is alway the case eventually. This is why some are trying to make a.i. open source
