“frontier model” in AI — like the in-progress GPT-5 — do safety testing. Otherwise, they would be liable if their AI system leads to a “mass casualty event” or more than $500 million in damages in a single incident or set of closely linked incidents.
If your Ai takes over the world and nukes half of it, you will have to pay a fine.
Sounds like this is will foss models. This is why all the bug tech companies are pushing ai dangerous narrative they gonna legislate away our freedom for moss models to keep hold of a monopoly. This is how liberty dies with thunderous applause.
Do foss models really matter? I’m pro foss and think proprietary software should be banned but these weights are essentially a compiled program, we have no idea what they do
Yup, exactly. The only regulation I’d be in favor of for AI is this: if it was trained on data which can be accessed by or was posted by the public, it must be freely available, such that if anything in the training data was posted online in a way anyone can see, then then I have free access to tge AI too.
Basically any other regulation, even if the companies whine publicly, is actually one that benefits them by raising the barrier of entry and making it more expensive for small actors to create AI tools.
legislation in the works that mandates that companies that spend more than $100 million on training a “frontier model” in AI — like the in-progress GPT-5 — do safety testing. Otherwise, they would be liable if their AI system leads to a “mass casualty event” or more than $500 million in damages in a single incident or set of closely linked incidents.
Are those models made by companies that would be affected based on the conditions above?
All models are very costly regardless of open source or closed source, but I’m not sure any current model reaches that high. The 100$ million seems to only applies to the cost of computing and not of buying the actual cards.
The legislation is essentially asking that it can’t make nukes or do massive hacking attacking and only asking it of people that definitely have the money to make sure.
It’s actually very level headed compared to what most are pushing for. I can’t even see it affect current gen AI, which are mostly harmless anyways.
AI execs: Our AIs are going to be so powerful. More powerful than anything. Soon they could be able to destroy humanity!
Governments: Well, then we better regulate that shit and make sure that doesn’t happen…
AI execs: Nooooo! We did not mean it that way!
Why is she claiming that the bill is about liability?
This all sounds smart to me. I’ll vote for it given the chance.
If it’s the same one from a few months ago, the wording is so vague that only huge companies with legal departments will be able to navigate the compliance maze they’ve set up.
what enriches lives:
- solving world hunger
- doing the taxes and other boring stuff
- translation
- replacing corrupt governments
- cheaper living
what we use AI for instead:
- making society, artists, already poor people poorer
- making life more complicated thanks to increased joblessness
- causing more polarisation and conflict
- helping corrupt governments
- more expensive living
why invent an AI that eats ice cream for you when instead, it should do the dishes and pass the butter?
Or…just don’t use AI.
These dumb shits act like it’s enriching people’s lives. Instead, it’s just making a very specific group of rich people more wealthy.
It’s a fleecing of suckers who think it’s some useful tool to eliminate human workers that cost money.
Go ahead and don’t use AI if you don’t want to. If you think they’re truly useless then they’ll just go away on their own, right?
I’ve been finding various AI tools to be very useful to me, personally.
Agreed. There’s tons of amazing applications that are advancing astrophysics, mathematics, particle physics, pharmacology, oncology, etc etc etc.
It’s a problem of application and efficiency. Both are getting better at a break neck pace.
Do you find the AI features tacked into literally every modern device and application being sold to the general consumer market useful, or do you find a specific niche AI tool meant for specific industry use useful?
Moving goal posts.
Op said Don’t use AI, you’re saying Don’t use AI everywhere.
I think it’s pretty clear what type of AI OP was talking about.
I commend you for believing most people know the difference.
Sadly thats not my experience.
I just believe people know what they see, and in this instance they are seeing the garbage AI tools being shoved into their phones and computers that give them “information.” They’re not really seeing the good stuff, because the good stuff isn’t being sold to them.
Its true i do worry about shit ai being plastered within our devices but if you cut through the marketing you see a whole mix of machine learning and ai is used under the hood.
Some of these tools like ms paint auto removing backgrounds. And personal assistant like siri talking more fluently does seem like an improvement.
I have no hopes for winfows rewind but even for that we must admit its not actually available yet. Neither is apple ai.
So we are simply assuming that all of the tools they may put in are bad based on some current stupid ideas that are explored.
