[FRIAM] emergent mind - ai news by ai

To me it is like asking "Should little girls get to go to school?"

It's ridiculous. Suddenly, I feel more akin to that Chinese guy who GE'd some babies ... or the biohackers growing glowing dogs in their shed. You can't control people with open letters and calls to "good behavior". Maybe had they not included the "automate away all jobs" hype, I'd have a bit more sympathy ... or maybe if people like Musk, who concretely, literally, is directly responsible for job losses across a constellation of domains had not signed the stupid thing. Tu quoque, I guess.

The way we govern such things is with legal accountability. How will we punish Microsoft, who is clearly a person in the eyes of our law? Can we throw Microsoft in jail for subsidizing AI training? Fine them to corporate "death"? Pfft. And even if we can, could we punish companies in China or Qatar? No accountability implies no "moratorium". Smart people can be so stupid.

I like Volokh's recent post on Large Libel Models: https://reason.com/volokh/2023/03/29/knowing-reckless-falsehood-theories-in-large-libel-models-lawsuits-against-ai-companies/

Directly akin to Jochen's post awhile back showing gpt's [ahem] hallucinations about FriAM participants.
