When the Guardian runs with a headline calling current AI models “Super Intelligence” – it shows how poorly informed the MPs, journalists and thier readers really are. Large Language Models are very far from any form of real “intelligence”.
LLMs are best described as a giant spreadsheet of words, with probabilities attached to what word comes before and after the current word. It’s just data derived slop.
Strongly regulating the misinformation engine that is built on theft and ruins just about everything it touches feels like such an obvious thing to do. But alas, Starmer seems to have been taken in by the tech bros’ bullshit.
The bit that blows my mind is, they’ll rush out regulations for a statistical model but when it comes to corruption and other things you can hear the crickets!
But yeah, an LLM is the greatest threat we face…fucking hell humanity has gone mad.
I’m not sure about this, the UK is one of the leaders of the AI race, I’d be wary about us falling into the same overburdened trap the EU has, especially with things this bleak.
I doubt the UK has enough clout to force a global AI regulatory system so that it can be developed safely. I don’t see the U.S or China agreeing to anything like that. There are enomous opportunities in AI and we should be trying our best to get to the front of the queue.
I do foresee parliament legislating to stymie British AI development whilst the rest of the world breezes past us. No act of self harm is above our politicians.
Tricky for the PM. The economy needs growth and one of the key drivers of ‘growth’ lately (such as it is) is people investing billions in AI based on wild promises that it will replace who work forces and save hundreds of billions in the long run. Eventually.
If you come out as AI-skeptic, all that money that’s being “invested” will go elsewhere.
I supposed the upside would be if there isn’t much AI money in the UK, we’ll be on in the inevitable crash.
Besides the vast drain on resources, we aren’t going to get General Artificial Intelligence from LLMs.
They are guessing machines, not reasoning machines.
This is pointless sadly, as much as I agree with it. What we should be doing is looking at mitigating the worst of the future AI damage.
This sounds like it’ll end up like Imgur did. The website continues on its merry little way untroubled by one little island thinking what it thinks about the internet matters while I get blocked from using it unless I want to be a dirty little VPN using perv.
Cheers for that, Keir. Great result.
What is the UK doing in AI compared to the US and China? If we decide to do the EU route and just try to regulate it to death, we’re just going to have all of our jobs outsourced overseas to people who actually know how to use these systems…
