AI Truths

[bust]

Read an article and watched an I Awareness Video. Scary stuff

Not sure how to extract a video from Linkedin so here's the link to Betsy Tong who is apparently an international bestseller.

Typical AI CEO: I pledge allegiance to human safety.
When we aren’t looking, guts the safety team.

AI CEO Sam Altman (2024):
“We’re allocating 20% of compute resources to safety.”

Fast forward to 2025.
CEO: Just kidding.

The team preventing ChatGPT from going rogue disbanded.
Their budget slashed to under 1% of resources.

Who is protecting people?
No one left guarding our data or defending us if AI does harm.

This is the AI version of:

↳ Boeing cutting quality inspectors → planes crashed
↳ Theranos hiding product failures → fake blood tests
↳ Wells Fargo setting up fake accounts → millions scammed

What happens when failure itself starts learning?
AI is much more dangerous:

When Boeing's planes crash, fleet grounded.
Theranos, shut down and its founder jailed.
When Wells Fargo commits fraud, there are laws.

When AI fails, it just keeps running.

I’ve sat in exec reviews when safety became ‘optional.’
Those who lasted were ones who built trust before the crisis, not after.

AI is not just training models anymore.
It’s training risk.

Every era has its Boeing moment.

AI’s are just harder to see.
It’s invisible until the damage is done:

↳ Your kid's mind twisted by a chatbot
↳ A scammer who sounds exactly like you
↳ Your face in videos you never made

What is happening today:

↳ 14-year-old encouraged by chatbot into suicide
↳ AI clones a girl so well her parents can't tell
↳ An autonomous taxi drags man to death

AI tools like ChatGPT are cheap for a reason.
Your drafts and daily confessions fuel model training.

And unless you're 100% off-grid,
your life and business is already in the data.

We're not the customer.
We're the raw material.

AI doesn't replace human judgment.
It scales good or bad calls.

1️⃣ Audit the Proof, Not the Pitch
Don’t ask vendors if they have “responsible AI.”
Ask for incident logs, model lineage, and bias audits.
If they can’t show them, they’re not ready for enterprise risk.

2️⃣ Make Safety a KPI
Treat vendor safety the way finance treats solvency.
If you wouldn’t buy from a company with unaudited books,
Don’t bring one on board with unaudited AI.

3️⃣ Attach Consequence to Contract
Bake accountability into procurement:
Failure thresholds, Remediation timelines
Penalties triggers for non-compliance

4️⃣ Create a Chain of Custody for Judgment
Document how you evaluated vendor claims.
That paper trail becomes your defense.

You can't opt out completely.
But you can stop feeding it everything.

Don't fear AI. Really!!!!!

Thx for that, and I can thank fate also, to have removed me from the work place and diminished my life expectancy, for me, Ai will be no more than convenience.

But for my descendants, they will be proto 'Homo technoidus'.

Ladies, gents, noids, some of the best views on Ai, and with the bonus of humour,  well worth your time.

Another discussion elsewhere prompted me to write this:

 

There will still be people like me who know how to make things stop working (a.k.a. turn the switch off), some will know, without thinking about it.

To suggest that Ai will get so omnipresent, as to self sustain, ad infinitum, is to posit the presence of a god. So this'd be a whole different argument.

Cognition will not develop to an increasingly more ordered state. - because - The Second Law of Thermodynamics*. 

_____

*This law states that in an isolated or closed system, the net entropy—a measure of disorder or randomness—will always increase or at least stay the same over time. Entropy is a quantitative way of describing disorder; systems naturally evolve from states of lower entropy (more order) to states of higher entropy (more disorder) because there are overwhelmingly more ways for a system to be disordered than ordered.

and just for giggles:

if Ai were to become God, why would it want a whole species running around worshipping it and slaughtering each other in large numbers, in it's name? Those endeavours are evolutionary drives...
