The Pentagon has its eye on the leading AI company, which this week softened its ban on military use.

    Remember when open ai was a nonprofit first and foremost, and we were supposed to trust they would make AI for good and not evil? Feels like it was only Thanksgiving…

          Propaganda isn’t new. Sure it’s more widely available now but it’s not new

            And that totally justifies having a robot that does it so efficiently it allows people to deepfake shit that’s hard to invalidate, robbing people of their ability to discern what is reality and what is not

                Nope, not deepfakes that convincing.

                Keep lying to yourself though. Keep convincing yourself it’s worthwhile to destroy the world you claim to love just so you can keep your shiny new toy. Keep trying to tell yourself it’s not going to harm everyone else around you and that you’re still a good person.

              Again not new stop grandstanding it as a new effect. Media outlets have been doing this since the dawn of journalism. Scientific process created to combat it, political standards to help reduce it fand laws to make it financially unattractive act remains its not new.

              The only thing that is new. The financial gain from the hype of abusing the word AI and thr media not calling it out. But hey here we are back at the start. Its not new.

                And that totally makes it okay for you to use an LLM to do so far more effectively and far more efficiently, destroying humanity’s ability to discern reality

    I can’t wait until we find out AI trained on military secrets is leaking military secrets.

    It’s interesting to note OpenAI’s decision regarding the ban on using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare” applications. For more updates and insights on AI developments, visit ChatGPT.

    Literally no one is reading the article.

    The terms still prohibit use to cause harm.

    The change is that a general ban on military use has been removed in favor of a generalized ban on harm.

    So for example, the Army could use it to do their accounting, but not to generate a disinformation campaign against a hostile nation.

    If anyone actually really read the article, we could have a productive conversation around whether any military usage is truly harmless, the nuances of the usefulness of a military ban in a world where so much military labor is outsourced to private corporations which could ‘launder’ terms compliance, or the general inability of terms to preemptively prevent harmful use at all.

    Instead, we have people taking the headline only and discussing AI being put in charge of nukes.

    Lemmy seems to care a lot more about debating straw men arguments about how terrible AI is than engaging with reality.
