“A computer can never be held accountable - therefore a computer must never make a management decision”. - IBM Training manual, 1979.

So jazzed to live here in the future where we have AI making insurance denials and deciding drone targets! /s

Good on her for standing against the Silicon Valley doom hype machine.

This is the primary reason I’ve not given agents more power than something extremely controlled (I.e. only a function to turn on/off the lights). As I was always concerned that these generational models might accidentally do something dumb or annoying, let alone something that might be illegal or harmful.

I don’t really see how anyone would ask AI to complete something completely autonomously at this stage, without oversight.

Good for image classification and tagging to automate sorting all the images off my phone. Some fun chatbots to soundboard ideas off. Anything involving credit cards, bank details, personal info near the internet? That’s a big nope.

There are some things it would be nice to have a brain in a jar to do for me.

I do not, however, want that jar sitting in an Amazon-owned server room somewhere, where they can modify the jar to change how the brain works.


Take back your brain-in-a-jars from big tech! /j

It will be interesting tracing accountability when AI does something less than legal while trying to implement a legal command.
