this is actually stupid... he is complaining that anthropic won't let its AI make stupid decisions without human approval... honestly, AI is not good. No matter what elon and others keep saying... its going to destroy humanity.
So many woke companies deserve similar letters from our President!
I dunno, I think he's being hoodwinked here. A lot of CEO and non engineers do not understand AI and how dumb it really is.
I think we may all be shocked how fast it is advancing.
it is hardly advancing at all... totally stagnant now and gradually degrading.
Sorry, fren. You clearly aren't using it on a daily basis. It is transformative - unlike anything that has come before. And, Anthropic's Claude is currently the absolute leader when it comes to BUILDING anything. I'm now able to do in a day, what it would take me a team of 10 TALENTED developers months to create just a year ago. It isn't the devil. It isn't Skynet. IT IS A TOOL. A powerful tool. And our DoD deserves every ounce of every powerful tool we have at our disposal. Full stop.
I work directly on it, its been my exact job, training and building models exactly like what you are using. They have not increased in capability at all, the only thing increasing is adoption and thereby the amount of training data for it to pattern match.
Thats all its doing. And its now to the point where it already peaked... about a year ago I'd say. Up to that point it was reading mostly good data, produced by humans with full logic and human thought. Now tons of new data being injected was created by itself... and is subtly flawed. Little hallucinations here and there, and they gradually degrade the models, and the more human produced training data disappears the worse it will get.
You'll see.
I have found that using an architecture.md file explicitly with every single prompt has dramatically lowered hallucinations.
To your point, junk in junk out. However, the reverse is true as well. Clean in, clean out and I have found it amazing.
Maybe I just keep lucking out. 🎲🎲
i have all the .md files. none of that matters when it is actually generating code.... i'm not sure you understand what I'm saying. You can prompt all you want. The AI isn't really thinking, its just probabilistically matching against things its been trained on to generate next token after next token.
Its like a compression algorithm... artifacts creep in... if you keep just relying on combining and iterating eventually you will not even recognize the result.... and its all just garbage. If humans are not in the loop anymore it will just keep getting worse.
I don't have PhD in the subject like most of the people I work with on it, because I'm self taught, but generally they all agree. Short of some unknown tech that will suddenly be revealed that is genuine intelligence... its not what the media keeps saying it is and there will never be "singularity"
Ok.
I assure you it's not primarily about wokeness, but rather about the ethics of weaponizing AI to kill humans.
Yes!
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military. The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY. Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow. WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
I don't exactly understand the angle here, DoW apparently wanted very vague legal language for the AI contract, Anthropic said no because that would be dangerous.
I don't like AI but I do understand that other countries may not care about what could be dangerous, I'm not sure that justifies using our own in dangerous ways though.
Not only that, they should be considering charges against the executives.
I'm out of touch on Anthropic. Can someone share how it came to be that the President is stopping its use or point me to an article about it.
He is complaining that they won't let their AI use weapons without some level of human approval... which is really something trump should be smart enough to know is a horrible idea if he is actually a genius.
I have been working on AI for years now. Its an interesting tool, but its not actually intelligent. Allowing it to run amok would be pure folly.
I'm finding some articles that were posted here. I had no idea. Thanks so much.
This is the real fear of AI -- no appeal to a human agent; no way out of a Kafkaesque scenario. Picture the phone menu from hell.
Same here
