History rhymes doesn’t it?
So I wonder then *curiously* what kind of massive tragic event we’re going to have to have before everybody wakes up and realizes superhuman artificial intelligence is something they need to pay attention to politically
therac-25 was in there
and now everyone's shoving as much generative excrement as possibly into everything as quickly as possible
Software engineers can do just as much damage as civil engineers, automotive engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc...but the industry overall has a disgustingly casual attitude.
So if the base rate is 1 out of 100 botched, and with whatever this AI stuff they are using is 3 out of 100, eh, that doesn't look good.
But if base rate is 1 out of 100 botched and 1 out of 100 with AI is botched this is a tempest in a teapot just trying to use AI outrage to get you mad without thinking.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".
The AI plan involving LLMs and generative AI is conflated with a bunch of medical devices that are using stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the new AI wave.
