What angers me is that people are buying into the AI shit that the companies are peddlings. These aren’t sentient machines with a will of their own or even any mechanism to do anything on their own. These shit-heels are taking a text generator, trained on doing all sorts of shit, and piping its results into a bash-shell. If you just don’t do that they can’t do any of the damage they did in OpenAI’s case. They try to make it look like they’re figuratively breaking out of a cage or jail. That’s not what’s happening.

They’re given every tool they need and then they add clumsy and inefficient filters on the output text they’re writing. It’s negligent incompetence.

But they do this for a reason. They want legislation to stop what they’re doing. OpenAI specifically does not have an avenue currently where they end up making money, so they want everyone to stop training new models so that they can focus on making a positive cash flow rather than competing.

People need to stop eating the bullshit these companies are shovelling. Yes, if you write an application that breaks into the pentagon you’re looking at jailtime. If you host a LLM that does the same thing it’s the exact same issue. If it did break in then you weren’t paying attention (i.e. being negligent). It’s not a complicated problem.
