The human species ought to set some healthy boundaries with "AI" technologies. I'm curious what people think: What would you like the relationship to be between people and computers in the future? What roles / interactions should be human only, if any? What rights should people have regarding how AIs observe, model, and influence them? What responsibilities should the folks who make and use this stuff have to society?
@ngaylinn Buck Rogers in the 25th Century seemed to set boundaries (or roles) for AI and humans... somewhat opposite to how Isaac Asimov's robot novels did.
@ngaylinn While AI research cannot be surveilled or banned given how the technology works and is built, I do strongly feel that we right_now need a multi-national agreement between every major nation state that weapons of war must always require a human in the loop (HITL), without exception.
AI can inform decisions, but should absolutely never make them when it comes to life and death in this space particularly.
@moirearty I completely agree. If anything, I think we should expand that to include more kinds of decision making and governance, too. For big decisions that impact people's lives, there has to be somebody accountable, with a conscience, a reputation, and skin in the game.
@ngaylinn@ngaylinn yeah, I’m being realistic as I think personally this is the only thing we’ll be able to actually achieve.
If you look at the post I just boosted and read back through Jonny’s excellent commentary over the last few months, and the research they focus on, much of what you’re getting at is in there, with concrete examples, snd it is damn bleak.
Check it out but I’m sorry in advance for how it’ll impact your mood & outlook.
Honestly, "never simulate human connection" is one of the best and simplest recommendations I've seen. It upsets me that a lot of LLM applications very intentionally violate this rule.
