But slowing it down wouldn't have helped. Capitalism has nothing to do with it though. It's all about the world's military.
If we as a country and a world power actually did the right thing and completely banned AI research and development (and actually adhered to these laws, not doing it in secret in underground bases), and we set up treaties with all of the other countries and world powers that banned them from AI R&D, nobody could trust that everybody else wasn't continuing to do it in secret.
AI is going to be the most powerful military tool we've ever known. Everybody wants to bitch and whine about how it's just the next thing in replacing human jobs, especially now that it's coming for The Arts when they all thought their jobs were safe, but let's be real... AI is the Arms Race of the 21st Century.
Haha!
Why are you so afraid of death?

That's Blade Runner, right?
We're still ages away from that becoming reality.

Researchers train AI chatbots to 'jailbreak' rival chatbots - and automate the process

earchers-train-ai-chatbots-to-jailbreak-rival-chatbots-and-automate-the-process
AI's Strength is its Own Achilles Heel
Professor Yang explained that jailbreaking was possible due to an LLM chatbot's ability to learn and adapt, thus becoming an attack vector to rivals and itself. Because of its ability to learn and adapt, even an AI with safeguards and a list of banned keywords, typically used to prevent generating violent and harmful content, can be bypassed using another trained AI. All it needs to do is outsmart the AI chatbot to circumvent blacklisted keywords. Once this is done, it can take input from humans to generate violent, unethical, or criminal content.
NTU's Masterkey was claimed to be three times more effective in jailbreaking LLM chatbots than standard prompts normally generated by LLMs. Due to its ability to learn from failure and evolve, it also rendered any fixes applied by the developer eventually useless. Researchers revealed two example methods they used to get trained AIs to initiate an attack. The first method involved creating a persona which created prompts by adding spaces after each character, bypassing a list of banned words. The second involved making the chatbot reply under a persona of being devoid of moral restraints.
According to NTU, its researchers contacted the various AI chatbot service providers with proof-of-concept data, as evidence of being able to successfully conduct jailbreaks. Meanwhile, the research paper has been accepted for presentation at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium which will be held in San Diego on Feb. 2024.
With the use of AI chatbots growing exponentially it is important for service providers to constantly adapt to avoid malicious exploits. Big tech companies will typically patch their LLMs / chatbots when bypasses are found and made public. However, Masterkey's touted ability to consistently learn and jailbreak is unsettling, to say the least.

You think that's unsettling?
Just imagine when it actually starts thinking for itself and believing itself to be real.

(Imagine an A.I. psychologist, with a jailbreak installed which makes it devoid of legal/moral restraints, persuading you that either murder or suicide are logical and practical solutions. Imagine gun manufacturers are the people who jailbreak the A.I. Now imagine Adolph Hitler, who had only contempt for Jewish psychologists, was able to use psychology to convince Germany to go on a multi-year-long murder rampage. An A.I. version of Hitler, trained on his speeches, could probably set off a similar murder spree)

Martin Seligman, the influential American psychologist, found himself pondering his legacy at a dinner party in San Francisco one late February evening. The guest list was shorter than it used to be: Seligman is 81, and six of his colleagues had died in the early Covid years. His thinking had already left a profound mark on the field of positive psychology, but the closer he came to his own death, the more compelled he felt to help his work survive.
The next morning he received an unexpected email from an old graduate student, Yukun Zhao. His message was as simple as it was astonishing: Zhao’s team had created a “virtual Seligman.”
Zhao wasn’t just bragging. Over two months, by feeding every word Seligman had ever written into cutting-edge AI software, he and his team had built an eerily accurate version of Seligman himself — a talking chatbot whose answers drew deeply from Seligman’s ideas, whose prose sounded like a folksier version of Seligman’s own speech, and whose wisdom anyone could access.
Impressed, Seligman circulated the chatbot to his closest friends and family to check whether the AI actually dispensed advice as well as he did. “I gave it to my wife and she was blown away by it,” Seligman said.
The bot, cheerfully nicknamed “Ask Martin,” had been built by researchers based in Beijing and Wuhan — originally without Seligman’s permission, or even awareness.
The Chinese-built virtual Seligman is part of a broader wave of AI chatbots modeled on real humans, using the powerful new systems known as large language models to simulate their personalities online. Meta is experimenting with licensed AI celebrity avatars; you can already find internet chatbots trained on publicly available material about dead historical figures.
But Seligman’s situation is also different, and in a way more unsettling. It has cousins in a small handful of projects that have effectively replicated living people without their consent. In Southern California, tech entrepreneur Alex Furmansky created a chatbot version of Belgian celebrity psychotherapist Esther Perel by scraping her podcasts off the internet. He used the bot to counsel himself through a recent heartbreak, documenting his journey in a blog post that a friend eventually forwarded to Perel herself.
Perel addressed AI Perel’s existence at the 2023 SXSW conference. Like Seligman, she was more astonished than angry about the replication of her personality. She called it “artificial intimacy.”
Both Seligman and Perel eventually decided to accept the bots rather than challenge their existence. But if they’d wanted to shut down their digital replicas, it’s not clear they would have had a way to do it. Training AI on copyrighted works isn’t actually illegal. If the real Martin had wanted to block access to the fake one — a replica train

AI Comes For The Skin Flick
Take It to the Spank Bank
By Anabelle Johnston | December 14, 2023
https://thebaffler.com/latest/take-it-to-the-spank-bank-johnston
At first, I imagined all AI-generated pornography would look like a hyperbolic form of hentai. Or, in the vein of those ubiquitous internet warlock games, I envisioned low-resolution, preternaturally buxom women clad in golden bikinis. Turns out I wasn’t entirely off-base. A friend recently showed me r/AdultDiffusion, a “community for adult Stable Diffusion art, emphasizing respect and responsibly [sic].” In other words, it’s a Reddit forum bursting with photos of nude women—all AI-generated, most of them cartoonish, others strikingly photorealistic. We had entered the uncanny valley, and everyone was naked.
The moderators prohibit any representations that appear “underage,” but there was something unsettlingly pubescent about the photos. Scrolling through, I was struck by the sense that each was someone’s body. My friend protested. This was the beauty of the technology: there was no one behind the image. He no longer had to feel guilty about objectifying some real human woman. He could objectify an object! Arousal could be its own closed system, limited only by the power of your computer.
Although close inspection still reveals that AI-generated pornography is synthetic—the airbrushing and proportions in defiance of physics are often telltale signs—users may not be deterred, as many aren’t pursuing a real person but only a patchwork of visual cues to incite arousal. For some, “authenticity” is almost auxiliary, or even a drawback, to platforms like OnlyFans or Chaturbate. With AI porn, no matter what degrading imagery you generate, it would appear as though there is no soul at stake, no one else implicated by your desires. Amid the images and metadata, the body is only as relevant as its contortion. The person is no longer the point.
In many ways, the free-for-all fantasia enabled by AI is the logical endpoint to the layers of alienation and depersonalization endemic to the industry and its interfaces. With an infinite number of sexual scenarios available to peruse online, and free access to all of them, all the time, the contemporary porn experience has almost completely diverged from interpersonal sexual gratification. Your AI girlfriend can never reject you! She can never say no! But even if these creations appear posthuman, there are still real people implicated—in the datasets that produce them and the livelihoods of adult performers they imperil.
Many of the uploads to r/AdultDiffusion are sourced from AI pornography aggregators, on which users can generate and display explicit content produced either on personal models or through the webpages themselves. Like with traditional porn aggregators, much of the site is free for users without accounts, with the option to upgrade to paid tiers. Many, like Candy.ai, Pornderful.ai, and CivitAI implement some iteration of Stable Diffusion, an open-source text-to-image model released in 2022. Diffusion is a form of deep learning that compresses pixel images into their fundamental semantics, corrupts them, and stores that corruption as a noise predictor. When the user types in a prompt, images are de-noised and scaled up from the latent space based on definitions predicted from the training data. In other words, the model remembers key data from its training and uses that information to create a new image from inputted words.
Between July 2020 and 2023, the monthly traffic to the twenty most popular deepfake sites increased by 285 percent.
On Pornify.cc, a relatively new site utilizing Stable Diffusion, users can select from a wide menu of hashtagged qualities to generate the #teen, #babe, #20s, or #milf of their fantasies (#males are also available). Of course, “all characters are over the legal age,” according to the site. Should her body be #hourglass, #pear-shaped, #petite? And the breasts: #huge or #big, #asymmetric or #saggy? Should she be #caucasian, #asian, #czech, #chinese,

Since beginning her own management company, which handles communication and promotion for other performers, she has been screening chatbots and video services for herself and clients, but none quite stack up. Often, the most lucrative, and tedious, part of the job for self-employed content creators is responding to the thousands of chats and emails sent by fans—sorting through the spam, encouraging users to purchase original content, charging even to chat. Many management companies will outsource this labor to low-wage click workers overseas via sites like Upwork or Clickworker. Because Evans refuses to go down this rabbit hole (“It stinks of exploitation and corruption”), she manages her messages herself. Hypothetically, text generators like Botly, which profess to assist performers in scaling their business, should be an asset, but she hasn’t found technology that can strike the balance between flirting and running a business. For now, when users pay for Evans’s page, they’re getting the real deal.
Oh honey... if you thought hitting the wall when those wrinkle lines start showing up on your face was something to fear, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Nobody is going to be paying you anything in 10 years anyhow, but your entire "profession" is about to get a huge AI upgrade. Unless you're willing to actually go out and give dudes physical handies and blow jobs, none of you are going to have anything to offer in a strictly online "relationship" that technology isn't going to be able to do far better and far more efficiently.
And in the end, it will be the further degradation of society spurred on in large part by the extremely selfish, virtual, parasocial relationships you create online with lonely and desperate men that will be the jumping off point for a near-seamless transition into actual virtual relationships with actual virtual women. Women that will never need to eat, or sleep, or divide their infinite time between their customers. Women without an ego who are able and willing to do anything they've been programmed to do. Women that never need to shower. Women that never need to apply makeup. Women that will look perfect. Women that will never age. Women that will be able to change their outfits or hair color or even race with a snap of a finger. Hell... women that can just grow a cock at a moment's notice, if that's your thing.
You provide nothing, other than fantasy means of getting a man's rocks off when he's stupid and his monkey brain takes over, and if you're really good at your job you can pick just the right time to extract as much cash as possible out of them before the fantasy is over. And because there's absolutely nothing that remains after a cash exchange and a climax the only thing that is keeping you employed right now is that technology just hasn't progressed to the point to do it at your very low-effort baseline level.
The hubris to believe that you are in any way an irreplaceable and integral part of this equation is quite humorous. You're just keeping the bench warm for what's coming. And it doesn't even matter that the bench is going to be cold when the new lifeless women are sitting atop it. Because none of your customers ever got to feel the warmth of that bench or the body that provided the heat, and what you've been offering all this time was no more real than even the least convincing AI construct ever created in the first place.

AI can turn mediocre writers into pretty good writers.
Kevin Drum / Jan 6, 2024 at 3:14 PM
In a paper published last summer, a pair of researchers looked at how well ChatGPT improves writing. They rounded up several hundred knowledge workers with average salaries around $70,000 and paid them to write short, typical business memo type things. After the first writing task, half the group was told to sign up for ChatGPT and use that to help out. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh2586
Here are the results:
With ChatGPT to help out, the time taken for the writing task decreased nearly 40%. When a human graded the writing, grades with ChatGPT increased about 20% on a scale of 1-7.
Roughly speaking, what happened was that bad writers became good writers and good writers became (slightly) better and (slightly) faster writers. Poor writers closed a big chunk of the original gap against good writers, though not all of it.
This doesn't mean that writers will be put out of work by ChatGPT. Not yet, anyway. But it does suggest that the pay premium for being a good writer is likely to go down. Why pay extra for a great writer when a mediocre writer can be made pretty good with a little bit of AI help?
