Ben Gvir going full Trump with his AI slop ahead of their upcoming elections... concerning that people are asking chatbots for advice on how to vote...

I've seen this movie.

Looks like ai can shutdown the internet now. At least for important sites.

Is this in reference to the PHP vulnerability?

On Tuesday, the world found out about two massive security vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language that is used by roughly 70 percent of websites. The flaw was discovered by cybersecurity researchers using a frontier model from OpenAI. If they exploited it, attackers could gain full control of servers, stealing or copying anything inside or simply taking sites offline.

Yep. As soon as it got out there was a weakness, there were millions of attacks. So they shut down till they could fix the hole.

People can't do millions of attacks in that time. AI can.

We'll be back to the barter system before long.

Don't tell me 'misinformation' has been identified as the best tool in politics and conflict. It's starting to build a nice portfolio of exemplary results. And AI is quite the eager worker.

But don't forget all the good things AI will do for us.....im sure they'll be along in a minute.

It does plenty of good things already

The government is already telling us to stock up on water and food. For "emergency preparedness"

I think you know a lot more about the details behind Ai than I do, so I'm interested as to whether you think an Ai-initiatedf systems-collapse is imminent, and what checks and balances are currently keeping those wolves at bay? I genuinely don't know. I can make assumptions, but again, from seeing your contributions, you seem better placed to provide a far more accurate POV.

Checks and balances? None. The companies are self regulating. We're relying on their fear of litigation to stop them from producing something that could be devastating. Great plan. Can't see anything going wrong with that.
Do i think a collapse is imminent? Not sure but the risk is there. Terrorists, enemy states and anarchists will be looking to disrupt/destroy. We've also seen ai's just go rogue and attack on their own violition. How much protection we have i don't know. We'll see.

The government giving emergency preparedness warnings isn't a coincidence though.

Dunno if people saw this a couple of months back.

If there's money to be made out of it and it doesn't harm them the rich and powerful don't give a s hit about the consequences for the rest of us. Barclays to cut 5,000 jobs due to AI hardly a murmur yet banks cry about possible tax increase from their profits, were do these financial geniuses think the the lost of income tax and NI contributions from those jobs is going to come from?

It came good this week...

The best 'realworld' examples I saw were from a friends who both run charities. They were using various tools from Claude to an eerly testbed Google product. Website, marketing material, funding applications, branding, obviously research and then a podcast created discussing snd promoting one of the charities. Okay, the voices were Seppo as stock but we were genuinely impressed by what had been created. One charity was new and it saved them days if not weeks and huge cost. It allowed them to launch, receive funding and be in a position to then commit budget to some of those areas to give things a polish.
