So all this fearmongering over ai breaching containment and hacking on it's own or Iran researching how to do bio weapons via claude, is just bullshit to pump stocks right? (hexbear.net)

Well, they can call tools. Usually that means running command line commands or doing web searches but if you hook one up to the "fire ze missiles" tool it can do that if that's the best next token according to the patterns embedded in its weights by training

    Exactly like a phone could do, if you wired autocorrect to those outputs.

    It is software. Even the supposedly indeterministic parts are ultimately deterministic. The computer processes 1s and 0s. If given the same 1s and 0s, it would do the same thing. It's basically a pseudorandom number generator with weighted outputs.

    OK but nobody has wired up phone autocorrect to MCPs so the comparison rather falls apart

    I guess my point is that we still don't have AI, the technology itself is very mundane. People claiming otherwise are fear mongering.

    But we do have stupid and evil people putting pseudorandom number generators in positions of power, which is worth being concerned about.
