Something good coming out of AI, it seems.

    Some people seem to be unable to fathom the fact that AI can be useful in some circumstances, always assuming the worst despite no evidence to suggest it.

      AI can be useful in some circumstances

      And the point is that this statement can be true AND we can still think AI should cease to be used. The “useful in some circumstances” benefit does not justify the ethical and environmental cost.

        What would your preferred outcome in this situation be then? The bad guys are going to use AI to find exploits. What should the good guys do?

          Legislate AI away, except for the already existing open models that run on consumer-grade GPUs and are therefore orders of magnitude weaker and can’t be used to break down any systems.

          Or penalize heavily any company developing a model that is subsequently used to invade a system, stopping this madness of separating the models from the operators of said models.

          Dollars to donuts says they don’t have a preferred outcome, or at least not anything that amounts to more than wishful thinking.

          It’s crazy how many people have only reactionary opinions that are largely divorced from reality when it comes to humanity’s relationship with AI.
