I just gave an interview to @wbai@bird.makeup #NYC about #AI "doomerism" and its current biggest hypers: #OpenAI and #Anthropic . The key takeaways 👇
Many of the supposedly shocking examples of AI systems "breaking out" or doing dangerous things involve people deliberately giving them capabilities that security engineers already know how to restrict. That doesn't mean the risks are fake.

@wbai@bird.makeup In fact, I've been warning about the dismantling of guardrails since the rise of so-called "cloud computing" and the constant leaking of sensitive data across networks. Generative or hybrid AI systems add fuel to this fire because they are mostly probabilistic, and humans can have difficulty communicating their goals or intentions to them. In the machine learning literature that's broadly called "the alignment problem."
