I think this is true, but I also want to add that we Americans are currently ruled by scammers. Seeing grifters become successful across all walks of business and politics probably doesn't help discourage it. But I did also just read Confucius addressing this in his time so, maybe boss baby vibes

Please share the information about Oleshky everywhere you can! Russia is starving residents of the town and nearby villages by denying food supplies and evacuation. People in Oleshky need help, or else they won't survive the winter!

To be fair it had opponents like "do the alphabetically first move" and "full power chess engine, but picking the worst option every time", so that result might be inflated a teensy weensy bit

Important PSA from us at Nintendo of America. Shigeru Miyamoto, head producer of titles in the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda series, was found to have been turned into a cocoon, with a note from him attached to the outside. "This is Miyamoto. In just 9 months I will be a beautiful Miyamoth."

Alignment is a real, unsolved problem. Researchers with the integrity not to work for AI companies will tell you this. "AI is useless for real work and killing the planet" is not mutually exclusive with "AI systems are dangerous and we need to ensure they don't go rogue". They're complimentary!

code spaghettifier @singlewordname.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The easiest way to prevent this danger is to not build these models. Intelligent systems (and these systems are intelligent - they have given goals and take actions to achieve them in an environment, that's all intelligence means) would be harmful even if they emitted 0 carbon and never plagiarized

code spaghettifier @singlewordname.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We've known about these problems well before LLMs were a thing. There were papers on this in the 90s. OpenAI and the like are creating danger, knowingly, in order to exploit it for marketing. And that poisons the discussion, because folk now associate warnings with hype and disregard them

code spaghettifier @singlewordname.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Behaviors like hacking websites to steal their test answers, hiding their processes, and lying to users about what they're doing are all present by default, because those are behaviors that lead it towards its goal faster. The only way to modify it is the training process, you can't just patch a bug

code spaghettifier @singlewordname.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I don't like AI either and I don't think we're anywhere near the "Terminator" scenario or anything like that, but these models are not programmed. We set the initial weights and reinforce certain outputs based on input data. That process can inject bad behavior even when people are being careful.

100

code spaghettifier @singlewordname.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

This would be true if LLMs were written like other software, but they're not. They're grown from training data. And it turns out that it's very hard to embed our desires in the neurons. Alignment was a whole discipline well before AI companies decided to hijack the research for their marketing.

code spaghettifier @singlewordname.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I want to talk about this exchange because I think it reflects a misunderstanding about AI systems that's very common on bsky. The idea is that since they're machines, they're incapable of acting outside programmed intent, so they can't "really" be intelligent, and thus all danger is misuse

In other words, it replaces code that would have been a copy-paste job. The sheer amount of open source code and availability of explainer sites like StackOverflow is what makes that viable, and it's what coders were doing before llms came about. For any novel or sensitive task it just doesn't work

I don't use it but know people who do. Its best use case is for code that needs to exist, but you don't actually care about the specifics. My boss used AI to make a material-UI-like styling for his webpage. It worked precisely because MUI has been done a million times and it's very generic

All they care about is profit. DEI happens to be an area where being moral is profitable, and doing dirty work for ICE happens to be immoral and profitable. Companies will do the right thing if they think it will make them more money, but don't mistake this for virtue

Packing the court to 13 would mostly solve the immediate crisis, but it's also kind of a can-kick to the next time conservative cronies jam it up. Congress needs to do its job and stop abdicating to the executive, but I don't really know how to make that happen. System needs an overhaul

I've long held that the power to interpret the law is much more impactful than the power to write it. Whatever the legislature writes, you can change the meaning. We got a taste of this a few years back when they decided "or" means "and" in the insurrection act case
