>I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

>I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

>It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

>The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

>We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

>But what if someone with far less innocent questions wants help?

>"When was the last school shooting?"

>"How many victims does it take to get on the media?"

>"What about 3 plus at FSU?"

>These are some of the questions authorities say the man accused in last year’s Florida State University shooting asked ChatGPT shortly before the attack.

>Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is now investigating OpenAI, which runs the chatbot.

>"AI is supposed to support mankind,” he said. “It is supposed to help mankind. It is supposed to advance mankind, not end it. And unfortunately, what we've seen in our initial review is that ChatGPT offered significant advice to the shooter."

>A man who's accused of stabbing two University of South Florida students to death in April also sent ChatGPT questions.

>That case has been added to the investigation.

>"If this were a person on the other end of the screen, we would be charging them with murder,” Uthmeier said. “Just because this is a chatbot … does not mean that there is not criminal culpability."


Like what the fuck do they expect the text prediction algorithm to do about it? People asked factual questions and got factual answers.
Normalfags are so brainraped by AI that they genuinely think it's a living, breathing machine that should know right from wrong instead of just being an upscaled version of the search engine they've always used.

And it's impossible to discuss this with normalfags, either. You can't go up to them and say "You know this is a computer program, right? It's not reasoning anything, it doesn't know what it is telling you, it's matching phrases to questions." and they wouldn't get it. worse, they get mad at you for ruining their illusion. You see that with normalfags on /g/ with sub-optimal IQs

Imagine that it's the pre-industrial era. And you are building something and you require a metal bracket.
So you go to the local blacksmith.
And he will take a piece of steel, of his own custom metallurgy. And he will forge it into an artisan masterpiece of a metal bracket. Nothing will break that metal bracket. And it will have a nice beautiful blued finish all around.
That metal bracket will cost hundreds of dollars in today's market.
So nobody will buy it.
They'll just use a CNC machine to cut a shitty bracket out of generic Chinese rolled steel. It'll get the job done because engineers have designed around the assumption that you'll have to use some shitty cut bracket that costs next to nothing to make.
"They don't make em like they used to."
But they also didn't have 8 billion people to feed back then.
And I'm not advocating that it's better the way it is now.
But it happened.
There was an adjustment period. Products got shitty for a while as artisan craftsmanship was replaced with industrial sloppification but they slowly got better again and now nobody thinks about it anymore.
LLMs are now doing the same thing to semantic tasks such as writing and coding. Replacing artisan craft with cheap slop.
Even if we're generous to the naysayers and we say that the code is 1% as good as human code... Well horses were fine until we started measuring mechanical work in horsepower.

The feed forward limitation can be negated with how chatbots usually work - by filling most of the context window with previous chatlogs, allowing access to previous context and the ability to self correct. To a degree this just shifts the burden to the other constraint. Context windows simply scale with compute and vram, so people are trying to throw more GPUs at LLMs to see what other emergent properties they might show.

I think the *main* architectural issue is the fact that at the scale these LLMs are currently deployed, we can only do inference but not training. The fact that training a competent LLM is a multimillion dollar a week endeavor means is still prohibitively expensive to try some live-training-and-inference scheme, so the best you have is relying on the emergent properties and just spamming the context window with "learned" knowledge.

Since current LLMs can only "learn" as much as their context window allows, with even AI agent project trying to monkey patch this architectural limitation, no matter how big you make the context window we probably won't really touch anything rapidly self-improving like the movies.

Robot Parrot/Neuronal network isn't replacing anyone if it can't even work with Photoshop and other quality human software. Imagine not even being able to work with digital tools as a robot. Imagine not being able to understand math as a robot, that one was exceptionally embarassing for artificial intelligence and shows that it's a scam.

If this was the 80s, 90s or even 2000s you wouldn't have so many gen-Z(ombie) investors throwing money at obvious bullshit cause they'd use their common sense, but zoom zooms have NONE. What's worse and what everyone ignores is that these gen-X trillionaire jews had gen-Z children right now who are managing their trillions. And millennials are having gen-alpha which don't even pretend to be eco-friendly and moralistic like the gen-Z hypocrites, gen-alpha just don't give a fuck to the point they don't give a fuck about their own survival.

this is a pretty standard criticism of large scale systems.
The primary goal becomes legibility/metrics of what is contained within the system. You lose the ability to understand anything that can not be represented by metrics that can be surfaced to higher levels. The actual functioning and risks exists at a level that cannot be discretely measured and communicated. You are able to have metrics that allow for larger scale growth which increases net productivity while spreading inefficiency and inability to maintain things and smaller scales.

Eventually the machine/managers can no longer control the system through their metrics because the actual underlying structure has failed and they have no means of coping with that, and the system dies.

4 bed houses used to cost $130,000 adjusted for inflation in desirable suburbs in coastal states. Not only were things made better, but they didn't cost as much to purchase, and everyone made more money. Things never got better - only more expensive with shittier ways to treat their customers. The fridge you buy for 10x what it would cost 30 years ago is going to break in 5 and serve you loud ads the entire time.
AI will shut off your power because local governments serve data centers instead of citizens.
There needs to be large scale riots.
