<p>I like how you apply open source to something that has nothing to do with software. The hard part of doing evolving AI is doing it  the first time. Once one company develops the first sovereign AI, it will be in everybody's ability to build one in a short period of time.<p>AI will be classified as munitions (or a law that has similar restrictions) sooner than later. Having a products with the active capabilities to harm people  is dangerous.</p>

<p>It is not a low grade risk at all, these represent extreme health risks to the customer.<p>It may be some time before staff notices a unit is heating up. And if customers aren't paying attention and grab something biologically fragile like milk they could get food poisoning that could hospitalize you for days.</p>

<p>This is a bit naive. People write emotional rules and laws all the time. They may even work for a little while. Then one of two things happens, maybe even both at the same time.<p>First other people poke at the gray areas of the rules which leads to the "you accepted x, but not y, this must be favoritism when allowing AI posts". Things degrade into insane rule lawyering.<p>Or, you end up with insane sets of rules and enforcement that kill the project. We've seen a lot of project leaders recently just act kind of mental. Quite often it will lead to the project forking and falling apart.<p>Well written rules for a project matter even more than well written code.</p>

<p>I'm getting so many replies like the one above yours recently. It's like the average person has not really incorporated the fact that we've made something different than all other things we made before now, we'll, except maybe babies. It is comforting and easy to think this AI technology is the same as everything before therefore I don't have to do anything and the problem will solve itself as other problems did in the past.<p>Maybe many were too young for the cold war. But it really does feel like we're setting a new one up.</p>

<p>The particular problem here is quantified the inherent danger of a technology. That is, once you remove the active management of humans, what dangers can happen.<p>With dangerous chemicals and radioactive materials these are generally pretty easy to classify. This said, after the physical behaviors, the above technologies can induce behavior changes in humans because they exist. After nukes, a lot more people had issues with extental dread. It also causes <i>n</i>-order interactions that get very hard to predict. For example MAD or laws against using chemical weapons.<p>And these are weapons with a very easy to map out causal chain in their own behavior. You can't prompt a chemical weapon to make a decision.<p>We come up with agentic AI and all of a sudden a lot of rules on causality break. In a harness they are a causal agent. They can interact with a digital reality, and with the right tools and/or human contacts they can causally effect analog reality.<p>Anyone that says 'programmed' about an LLM almost certainly does not know what they are talking about and can be summarily ignored.</p>

<p>Eh, author has a bone to pick with AI companies and his person vision of what intelligence is that they can goalpost move because it doesn't have any stated testable positions. But don't worry anybody, it's just a parrot, not dangerous.  Oh, and might want to check your bank because someone else's agentic loop just stole everything from your bank account.<p>Not anything interesting here that hasn't already been stated 20 other times.</p>

<p>With humans it is a mix of both. Learning just the algorithm is hard, you need some amount of initial data to conceptualize, and this amount of data can vary pretty greatly between people.</p>

<p>This is one possibility,  but it is not a given one. Being able to think will require capital. The whole problem here is will your thinking be worth anything and how will you feed yourself until the point it is.</p>

<p>Most people don't think linguistically,  we have way more conceptual thinking. What makes it difficult is we rarely realize we are thinking conceptually when writing because these concepts occur automatically and we don't notice it.<p>In school this lead to a lot of difficulties for me, one in writing those comments out for other people to understand,  but the other seemed to be that when reading the average statements used in education for teaching I could map the same strings of language to multiple and sometimes conflicting statements because of the inexactness of the language used.<p>It turns out explaining concepts while leaving little room for different interpretation is hard.</p>
