“AI almost starts WWIII”. No it did not. The people stupid enough to think that LLMs can be used as a reliable source of information did that. That’s like reporting “Tarot cards almost start WWIII”. Completely irresponsible framing.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online I was curious what the related "news" item was. Searching didn't help, but – as a side effect – #til I could scare myself re #WWIII with a click of a button: https://warmonit.com/global-war-risk

@danirabbit@mastodon.online It's almost like Anthropic had the right idea when they wanted to forbid the military from using their AI in autonomous weapons.

@danirabbit@mastodon.online also I would want us to stop using "WW III" label. For war to start it there would have to be willing participants. There are none. What most likely would happen would be embarrassing diplomatic incident. Now, if they keep pushing full autonomy for drones we might've different situation.
