California legislature passes controversial “kill switch” AI safety bill
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I read that as "incentivizing keeping AI in labs and out of the hands of people who shouldn't be using it".
That said, you'd think they would learn by now from Piracy: once it's out there, it's out there. Can't put it back in the jar.
They should be doing the exact opposite and making it incredibly difficult not to open source it. Major platforms open sourcing much of their systems is basically the only good part of the AI space.
Also, they used our general knowledge and culture to train the damn things. They should be open sourced for that reason alone. Llms should be seen and treated like libraries, as collections of our common intellect, accessible by everyone.
Damn straight. I don't fear AI, I fear an even more uneven playing field
Not open-sourcing it is a terrible idea, it just creates more black boxes and gives corporations a further upper hand.
Yeah what do I care if Jimmy down the street enjoys using his Ollama chatbot? I'm too busy worrying about Terminator panning out
Exactly, so you agree that this bill is shit?
Yes, but apparently that didn't come across according to the votes lol
