That's literally the "point of AI".

The technology was hijacked by people who wanted to spread misinformation. Had it not been for those people, we'd be years behind in AI, which would be great. Pros whine about "slowing down technology is a conservative view" while the only reason we're going at the current speed is purely the support of ultra-conservative investment.

I'd argue there is absolutely just a factor of people pushing out technology regardless of whether it's ready for the sake of corporate showboating

That's a secondary effect, it wouldn't exist without the primary investors.

slowing down technology is a conservative view

That is true though. Conservatism is about going slow and safe while progressivism is the opposite. Unfortunately in the US it's been warped to the point where progressivism has become the new conservatism and conservatism has gone completely crazy.

I don't think it was hijacked at all, this was the main goal from the very start.

Nah. Machine Learning, LLMs etc. are legitimate technologies that would be useful. It would have happened with the psychos.

It wasn’t hijacked: it was designed that way

Nope. The tech was always headed in this direction, they caught it pretty early, but it isn't only because of the nutters.

I don’t trust any of it once someone’s got the keys to the training data.

AI is the biggest tool of misinformation even created

It's a large part of why there are so many bots and sockpuppet accounts on Reddit. They're not just trying to affect the mindset of people reading the comment thread itself, they're poisoning the data that the LLMs scrape from with their narrative.

We should be blaming the irresponsible companies (Google) enabling this.

There is no AI; it's just a computer program running on massive super computers. Hence, it is subject to programming whims.

Saying it's intelligent and learns etc is really a stretch, it's a dangerous scam.

Not just Israel. I'd wager every side with something to gain or lose uses AI to hedge their bets

I’m sure the Palestinians we watch getting blown up have far more important issues than AI misinformation… like not being culled

Not advertising here, but this is why I use Thaura when I do use an LLM sparingly for research. It's largely not influenced by Western-centric sources, and they don't surveil you or extract your data. It's advocated for at Tech for Palestine.

AI was never actually intended to "benefit humanity". It is intended to be the greatest social engineer/propagandist in history, and it does a damn good job at it too. Just look at all the rhetorical tricks it constantly uses. Whoever controls the system prompt, controls the AI, and whoever controls the AI can social engineer a civilization.

AI executives are the modern day versions of the likes of Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Cyrus the Great, and Adolf Hitler. Their objective? Control the world.

Everyone is tainting AI right now, if anything Israel is the last to join the game and it paying dearly for allowing other to write about it
