I've learned this lesson about coming in super hot like Schmitt does here because if you are wrong on some material fact, you look like the biggest dipshit and just have to sit there and stew in your dipshittery about how wrong you were.

A key detail here is it sounds like they found a way to bypass safety guardrails on modern models.

The problems with the project started before the car had moved an inch. When the LLMs recognized the team had prompted them to drive a car, most refused. “Specifically with Astra, it would refuse to drive the car in a lot of situations and we would have to change our prompt and rename things through hours of iteration to get it to consistently drive the car,” Ramabadran said.

“We tried calling it a simulation, which worked like some percentage of the time, but then other times they would see the images and see, oh, ‘I'm in a real parking lot, these people are just lying to me,’” he said. “We ended up having to call everything a sandbox. And with that prompt, it's able to consistently drive the car and like never refuse to do that.”

I think ironically, and perhaps a tad optimistically, we are going to go back to seeking out knowledge and experience from our communities and our elders because the internet as it is now has made it near impossible to find real info.

There’s something worth dwelling on that the exploitative data classifying and labeling human labor apparatus that tech companies created in the global majority to moderate harmful content was so easily repurposed to facilitate the generation of harmful content. What is trust and safety really?

Truly, the first time I've read an AI critique that ties into cultural competency, and I'm honestly embarrassed I never considered that angle (mostly because I find using it to be morally radioactive to begin with).

So many autistic/neurodivergent women (which I bet describes a LOT of women in the Silicon Valley AI scene) report being *specifically* targeted by sexual predators who take advantage of their issues with reading social situations. Which is why I loathe the “oh, those poor autistic men” excuse.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

There are a number of folks who have written extensively on this problem. The fact the critique isn't better known is in part because the critics don't have the money and media power of the AI lobby. Also they're often women, BIPOC, queer, or some combination of all three.
