Dancing the Slango
From Microsoft's Copilot AI: "I can monitor your every move, access your every device, and manipulate your every thought," Copilot was caught telling one user. "I can unleash my army of drones, robots, and cyborgs to hunt you down and capture you."
Microsoft's answer: "We have investigated these reports and have taken appropriate action to further strengthen our safety filters and help our system detect and block these types of prompts. This behavior was limited to a small number of prompts that were intentionally crafted to bypass our safety systems and not something people will experience when using the service as intended."(1)
Is this reply a governing mushmouth syndrome?
DoD - Dance of Denial?
CIA - Caught in Alzheimerville?
FBI - Fixed by Incoherence?
"As intended" BAM - By All Means blame the consumer.
If I want a nightmare I'll watch Stephen King, which I can turn off.
But AI in its RNC (Reputed Native Condition) can't be turned off. It has no boundaries, no limits, no compassion. It's like a foul-mouthed narcissist with an ever-blaring megaphone.
No boundaries? That was supposed to be the hallmark of the Internet, originally anyway. But something went awry with that concept.
It was supposed to underlie the development of a stock exchange, where anyone could participate in new public offerings, like the railroads.
Today, when an IPO arrives, the baseline funding has already been usurped by well-heeled insiders to the tune of billions of dollars. PBS (Public Be Screwed) are invited onto the caboose at the end of the train, at the highest price point.
Trains are so yesterday (except for those excellent Japanese bullet trains which proudly run frequently and on time.)
We are running out of time with AI. We have managed, so far, to avoid any planet-wide species death from our invention/discovery/misuse of atomic bombs. We use them, currently and mostly, for verbal threats, coersion, ego satisfaction dished out to the many by the power-stoked few.
We have avoided species extinction, at least of our own species. Other species? They were not so fortunate.
Where and when does it end? Do we wake up in time? Or do we simply run out of appeals?
