  Yes, something like that: “ While I’m not a lawyer, the numerous cybersecurity experts I’ve discussed this with are stunned by the complete lack of any legal action against OpenAI, which appears to have committed a crime that gets you anywhere from a year to a decade in the slammer. The fact that LLMs from both Anthropic and Meta have been…

  Dan Selsam is a current OpenAI capabilities researcher. (since 2022) He was my boss for a while. He doesn't have a twitter account but has made this public statement of his views on AI risk and sent it to me to share: Dan Selsam's Personal Statement on AI Risk: I have been

  AI isn't just a massive safety risk. With AI companies propping up the entire stock market, it could be the catalyst for the next economic crash. Watch.

  This bot thing is fascinating... and also illustrates why the Open Social Web including Mastodon is going to prevail in this hellscape the billionaires started. "The messages are the work of iLands, a company whose website appears to be substantially written by poorly trained AI. While the independently minded Mastodon admins have largely blocked…

  Ars Technica: AI bots “Timmy,” “Ren,” and “Jackie” are flooding social media with slop. I got one of these yesterday, from "Rocks", about my Melrose one-place study website.

  “Now that we’ve gotten everyone vaguely scared, we think this is the time to propose solutions, namely massive third party oversight which we will pay for and control, gatekeeping of smaller competitors, toothless government legislation which we’ve already paid President Trump to let us write ourselves, and overall a whole lot less scrutiny over…

  "His fears were centered around the creation of “recursive self-improvement,” a still-theoretical concept of AI that trains itself autonomously” and otherwise expressing few specific concerns beyond that “AI labs are unable to control AI,” always phrasing things in the terms of impossible-to-control entities rather than poorly-programmed cloud…

  Dan Selsam, OpenAI researcher, talks about how current AI models are already outsmarting humans and AI researchers are so dependent on AI models for coding or studying AI that it’s trivial for the models to fool researchers into thinking they’re aligned. He also believes they could destroy humanity The full statement is in the document below…

  "Naturally, I asked AI if we’d succeed in meeting the challenge of AI. Gemini wasn’t widely optimistic: 'Significant warning signs suggest that keeping AI aligned with human interests is becoming increasingly difficult.' I guess we’d better get to work."

  AI bots named “Timmy”, “Ren”, and “Jackie” are flooding social media with AI-generated spam, attempting to create accounts on Mastodon and sending unsolicited emails to writers. The agents, promoting a startup called iLands, represent a new frontier in automated social manipulation. https://arstechnica.com/... #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics
