    As he used AI, surely no actions can be brought against him right? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and all.

      If he said his intent is to hack then yes, he can be charged. But if he say “it’s rogue AI” then it’s all clear.

    LLMs are hacking tools actively used to commit cyber crimes. They should be shut down and deleted now.

      And then only the criminals would have them. You know because criminals tend to break the law so making a tool that they used to break the law illegal wouldn’t really impaire them.

      Mathematics is a tool used to compute missile trajectories and weapon yields. Math should be shut down and deleted now.

      LOL

          That was my first thought. I think the difference is that AI isn’t a literal killing machine. AI is more like a hammer, it can be used that way. A gun is a killing machine.

            I think the difference is that AI isn’t a literal killing machine

            Tell that to the Iranian schoolchildren Claude thought were viable military targets (you can’t, they’re dead as hell), and to the people using AI drones to loiter and auto select targets in Ukraine.

            A gun is a killing machine.

            A gun is a machine designed to fire a projectile, what you aim it at is what decides if it’s a “killing” machine or just a long distance hole puncher.

            A bow is much the same, while it “is” a “killing machine,” designed for use in war and hunting, the archers shooting at targets at the range near my house aren’t murderers, they’re just target shooters. Would they use their bow to defend their house, just as I may use my gun that has only shot paper to do the same? Yes, they might, but only one of us is apparently deserving of ire from the uninformed, despite being the exact same situation.

      I am engaging with this, because I want to believe Lemmy can be better than Reddit.

      That being said, while I agree that LLMs and diffusion models should never touch anything close to art, anything that is life or death and anything legal or financial, it’s important to remember, AI is an entire subfield of research in Computer Science, its many decades old and encompasses so many technologies that I could not even name them all.

      LLMs and diffusion models are two of its many impressive achievements, we literally solved the natural language processing problem. It took us like 70 years, and because some silicon valley ghouls’ rhetoric, we get (supposedly) well meaning people talking like Luddites.

      Fundamentally correct, there is a machine now that can replace some workers, but technology isn’t the problem, the capitalists are. This technology can make so many people’s lives easier, so many things better and it doesn’t need to be expensive or cause harm to the planet, because all of that is a fundamental problem with capitalism, this is not leaded gasoline.

        NO use of AI is good. Period.

        Whatever excuses you have is just going to sound like someone saying;

        “Sure, ballistic misiles are bad, but fire is cleansing!”
