“AI” – chatbots that wake up, “set their own goals,” and “spontaneously” start hacking servers – is fake. It doesn’t have “a 10% chance of ending the human race.” The Hugging Face hack isn’t a mysterious, supernatural occurrence. It’s a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn’t accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.


They. Don’t. Think. LLMs just talk like they do.
That’s awfully anthropomorphic language you’re using there. They don’t talk. Why are you pretending they do? Obviously you’re an idiot that thinks AI is sentient.
Doesn’t matter if they really think, what matters is what they do.
