The main thing is the title of the post, the body of the post is an addition and clarification to the question.

Article for example: Google’s AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges -- https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/google-ai-robot-body-suicide-lawsuit

My thoughts, not quite related to the question:

Well, how are you going to get through your last year when AI could get out of hand in 2027?

What is happening in the world reminds me of a novel - I have no mouth, but I must scream. Have you read this novel?

If we don’t program it to do something, it won’t.

yes, the only caveat would be that people could hook AI up to things that they shouldn't and not provide sufficient oversight to ensure it is acting reasonably ... but the same could be said of cruise control in a car, for example

I do wonder what scary things a text-prediction program will be capable of that has everyone so worried ... it's as simple as just not using it further. LLMs have no agency or independent intelligence.

The harms and concerns are many, but not related to concerns about its intelligence.

What a great description of Openclaw

I have the great pleasure of saying I have no idea what openclaw is - is this the agentic AI that just does a recursive prompt loop so it's talking to itself to give it "agency"?

Openclaw is the new fad service that's letting people hook up their social media and financial services to an LLM agent.

Real fuckin dumb thing to do, but idiots will be idiots.

OpenClaw website if you're curious

Edit: fixed a typo

financial services ... like investments? I've heard of people using LLMs to get advice on how to invest - but I've also read that this rarely goes well

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 28 minutes ago

Financial services like your bank account or paypal
