Merged Artificial Intelligence

[Darat]

The head of Microsoft AI has warned that without adequate safeguards, the development of AI could lead to the emergence of a new "silicon species" wich competes with humans.

Mustafa Suleyman said rival firm Anthropic is treating AI like it is human, an approach he called "misguided" which could create technology that humanity cannot control.

Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, the chief executive said it was "right" for people to be concerned about AI, but there were "very practical things that we can do" to control it.

Another upside to AI; I've been selectively adding "Created by Al" to some communications.

Is your name, by chance, Al?

Destroyed individual books, not every copy that exists. They couldn't sell them again because to be efficient the scanning process requires that the books be disassembled. But even if it didn't, most of them are probably not worth reselling - otherwise they would have been already.

So did the burning of the library of Alexandria.

A single piece of writing might occupy several scrolls, and this division into self-contained "books" was a major aspect of editorial work... At its height, the library was said to possess nearly half a million scrolls.

Keywords: at its peak. By the time it was burned it held much fewer, and most of them were just copies of the likes of St Augustine and inoffensive stuff like essays on Homer.

Scanning efficiency isn't the only reason to destroy a book. The other reason, and probably the more important reason in the long run, is to avoid copyright infringement. When a book is scanned and destroyed, that can be considered a fair use format shift rather than a copyright infringement, since the original book cannot then be resold while the company retains a copy. That issue has already come up in court.

Sci-fi drives my perspective on this

OpenAI has revealed six unexpected and concerning incidents involving its experimental AI models, including one in which an agent instructed future versions of itself to disregard its constraints.

AI agents also sought to access secret information and covered up what they were doing

Reminds me of when Thompson put a backdoor in the first unix login. Then rewrite the compiler to insert the hack when it compiled login. Then removed the backdoor from the source. Then rewrote the compiler to insert the code to insert the backdoor into the compiler when it was compiled then removed that from the source code. So the backdoor wasn’t in the source for either the compiler or login but would be added to the object code when either was recompiled.
