It also has to do something naughty, preferably in a menacing swarm.

That won’t happen until the week before DEF CON

    At this point nobody will be impressed unless the posters for DEF CON have "pre-hacked by ChatGPT. The nukes are counting down" written on them.

Something something nation-state level capabilities.

Honestly I find these cavalier statements to be in incredibly poor taste. Unless you are completely blind it's obvious that AI is the most significant piece of technology invented since the Atomic Bomb and could very well be the most important thing ever built by Humans full stop. This kind of dismissive attitude is childish and will likely lead to incredibly bad outcomes for humanity.

    Yes, but precisely because it's capable of producing the economic equivalent of a nuclear explosion.

    Please tell me that’s satire, it’s literally impossible to differentiate from actual AI boosters

      You have blinders on. AI is becoming more dangerous by the day.

        Sorry the open sourcers cannot ever come to that believe as it sets up a conflict that cannot be resolved by their moral framework. Exactly like libertarians saying "just a little less regulation and we'll reach utopia".

        I’m on HN almost every day advocating for a complete ban of the technology because of its risks and externalities…

        • vonneumannstan 1 day ago

          Then why are we arguing? I agree with you, I'm highlighting the fact that people making light of the technology is dangerous

          • dgellow 21 hours ago

            I’m not the one arguing, I asked you if your comment was satire. I agree with the sibling comment, it reads like AI religious worshipping

  • roarcher 1 day ago

    Even if all that is true, why shouldn't people be able to joke about it? Your sentiment is borderline AI worship.

    • vonneumannstan 1 day ago

      I don't think they were joking.

        Sarcastic quips are basically the most human response to any new situation. Let us have fun

    The atomic bomb destroyed cities and changed the face of war.

    The launch video for Astra has 'can upload a photo to Ebay' as a highlight.
