Братишки, я вам новый мемес нашел

Главы техкомпаний, инженеры и исследователи попросили приостановить «масштабные ИИ-эксперименты» — они угрожают обществу

Среди подписавшихся — сооснователи Apple, Skype и Pinterest, гендиректор SpaceX и Tesla, а также сотрудники Microsoft и Google.

Более 1100 исследователей, инженеров и предпринимателей подписали открытое письмо ИИ-лабораториям — с просьбой «срочно и как минимум на полгода приостановить обучение ИИ-систем, более производительных, чем GPT-4». Если это невозможно, вмешаться должно правительство — например, ввести мораторий на эксперименты.

Продукты с искусственным интеллектом, «сопоставимым с человеческим, могут представлять серьёзную угрозу обществу и человечеству», пишут авторы письма. При работе с ними разработчики должны быть крайне внимательными, но «этого не происходит», так как последние несколько месяцев они пытаются обогнать друг друга и выпустить «более мощные модели, действия которых сами не могут до конца понять, предсказать и проконтролировать».

В письме авторы отмечают, что разработкой продуктов, которые могут заменить людей или породить больше новостной пропаганды, должны заниматься «избираемые» технологические лидеры. Сами системы при этом стоит создавать тогда, когда все уверены, что те принесут пользу, а рисками можно будет управлять. Пока силы следует направить на доработку уже существующих продуктов — чтобы сделать их точнее, безопаснее и прозрачнее.

Это не значит, что нужно полностью остановить развитие технологии, пишут авторы: надо лишь «выйти из опасной гонки». Они предлагают в течение полугода объединить усилия и разработать единые для рынка правила безопасности, а также способы контроля экспериментов. По их словам, нужно также подключить правительства, чтобы те сформировали ведомства, которые будут сертифицировать продукты, смогут отличать реальный контент от «синтетического» и следить за утечками ИИ-моделей.

На момент публикации среди подписавшихся числятся директор SpaceX, Tesla и Twitter Илон Маск и сооснователи Apple, Skype, Pinterest, Ripple — то есть Стив Возняк, Яан Таллинн, Эван Шарп и Крис Ларсен. Есть и главы фирм-разработчиков ИИ-продуктов — из Stability AI (Stable Diffusion), Scale AI, ThirdAI, Character.ai, Unanimous AI и других.

Письмо также поддержали инженеры и исследователи Google и Microsoft и учёные и профессора из многочисленных университетов — Йельского, Оксфордского, Гарвардского, Кембриджского, Стэнфордского, Массачусетского технологического и других.

Профессор Нью-Йоркского университета и исследователь Meta* Ян ЛеКан сообщил в Twitter в ответ на удалённую публикацию, что не подписывал письмо и не согласен с его основным посылом (на момент обновления заметки его имя отсутствует в списке, а автора удалённого твита узнать невозможно — vc.ru). В комментариях к его заявлению пользователи предположили, что подписи могли быть сгенерированы ИИ, а также допустили, что, возможно, его имени там изначально и не было, а его внимание привлекли только ради «дополнительных кликов».

Ну что реакторчане? Скажет и Киберпанк или серая обыденная жизнь?

Nick wakes up after getting tranquilized. He’s surprised that he woke up inside the police car. He was cuffed at the back. Outside was dark probably night time and what appears to be the Rainforest District, and the car was parked in front of a large decrepit mansion overgrown by vines. Nick felt his head ache and heard a familiar voice.

Judy: “Are you ok now Nick?”

Nick sees the scarlet eyes of the vampire rabbit on the driver’s seat.

Nick: “Ok carrots what did you do?”

Judy: “What I just placed you back there.”

Nick: “Cuffed? So you bit me!? Am I gonna turn into a vampire!?”

Judy: “Nick calm down.”

Nick: “I can’t calm down!! I do not wanna live as a vampire!!”

Judy: “NICK!! CALM DOWN OR I’LL TAZER YOU!!!”

Nick sat down checking his neck for any bite marks. 

Bogo: “Is he finally awake?”

Nick looks over the windshield and see a buffalo on fire. It was Bogo but on fire!

Judy: “Yeah he’s up but I think the hallucinogenic is still in affect.”

Nick: “Hallucinogenic?”

Judy: “You don’t remember getting gassed?”

Judy explains that someone was creating hallucinogenics or fear toxins and intoxicated other animals. They were tasked today to arrest the criminal inside the building where he was holding up. The guy calls himself Scarecrow, even though it was just an animal in a costume. They did manage to get him but not after getting gassed. Alex and Nick were the only ones affected since their gas mask became faulty. 

Nick: “Ok I remember now.”

Judy: “So you see me as a vampire?”

Nick: “Yeah and chief as a flaming buffalo. So um, can you un-cuff me? it’s starting to get uncomfortable back here.”

Bogo: “Well as long as you can tell that it’s just the hallucinogenic making everything appear different then you’ll be fine to walk out. Try anything and I’ll put you back here.”

Nick: “Yeah, its just that everyone outside seems to appear…different.”

He looks outside the window and sees that everyone are monsters. That is some powerful hallucinogenic. Well as long as Nick doesn’t freak out or run away then its fine. He just need to keep his cool. Then a whistling wolf with a very large set of teeth came to greet them.

Alex: “Hey Nick you finally better?”

Nick: “Uh by the way I see you right now? No, no I’m not.”

Alex: “Well at least you’re not freaking out like Geno over there.”

Alex pointed out at the ambulance parked out where Geno is lying strapped on the cart, yelling out : “ALL OF YOU ARE ALIENS!! THE INVASION HAS BEGUN!! SOMEONE HELP!!”. They placed a nuzzle on his mouth to prevent him from bitting and screaming. Nick seriously doesn’t want that to happen to him.

Alex: “Man, I hope my partner is going to be ok.”

Judy: “Don’t worry, maybe he’ll snap out of it tomorrow.”

Alex: “I hope so.”

Nick: “I’m just glad I’m not in the same position as him right now.”

Judy: “That’s rude! Say sorry!”

Nick: “Ah! Sorry Alex!”

Alex: “Nah its ok I don’t want to be in the same position as him either. Hey how about this? Let’s record him yelling stuff and when he snaps out of it, we’ll show him the video.”

Nick: “You are not that least bit concerned about your partner huh?”

Alex: “As long as he’s kicking and screaming then he’s fine.”

They both laughed at their antics. Judy frowned on how Alex treats his partner. 

Nick: “So where is our Scarecrow?”

Bogo: “He just got arrested, before you and Alex started to go nuts.”

Judy: “You ran like crazy inside spouting strange things, while I was trying to dart you.”

Alex: “Same here, I was looking for Geno that entire time.”

Judy: “We had an ambulance called in after we got the both of you.”

Nick: “So why was I in the back of the car?”

Judy: “I was planning to take you to the hospital but I wondered if putting you to sleep was enough to get you back to normal.”

Nick: “Well I’m not one hundred percent alright, I’m still seeing things but I guess I can manage.”

Bogo: “Judy take your partner to the hospital, Alex stick with Geno. As for the time being I’m going back to the station.”

Nick: “Oh yeah, why did you trip me?”

Judy: “What do you mean?”

Nick: “You tripped me back there when I was running, what gives?”

Judy: “Oh that, you ran into a small coat rack and you rolled on the floor face planting on the wall then I rushed in and asked if your nose broke.”

Nick doesn’t know whether or not he should believe her, but given the situation there’s no way to prove it.

Nick: “And that thing when you made an adorable face?”

Judy: “I thought I could get you to come with me if did that.”

Nick: “After asking me to drink my blood?”

Judy: “Well you called me a vampire bunny, I thought I should play along and make myself look cute as a vampire.”

Nick: “One thing, vampires don’t do that.”

Judy: “Yeah they do.”

Nick: “You clearly need to watch some horror movies with me.”

Judy: “Uh no.”

—————————–

Everyone left the scene. Judy followed the ambulance in front, she notices Nick looking really terrible. 

Judy: “Are you ok Nick?”

Nick: “Well……….no.”

Judy: “Do you need something?”

Nick: “……..no.”

Judy: “Do I scare you?”

Nick: “What? No”

Judy: “Oh is it you’re afraid of vampires Nick?”

Nick: “Ha no. I’m just having a massive headache right now. And besides, you look rather cute with those red eyes.”

Judy: “Red eyes? Nick my eyes are purple.”

Nick: “I know, but with the hallucinogenic everything looks different.”

Judy: “So what can you see?”

Nick: “That everyone is a monster.”

Judy: “No I meant me.”

Nick: “Oh well for one you have red eyes, long eyelashes, and some fangs peaking out of you lips. You look quite the seductress.”

Judy blushed on his remark and decided to play it off, “Well at least for today I’ve become a predator, and I will drink your blood muhahahahahaha.”

Nick: “Hahaha, don’t push your luck cottontailand keep an eye on the road.”

Judy: “So to you I’m now a predator, it feels very strange but I kinda like the idea now. Fear me for I’am the vampire bunny muhahahaha!” Judy playfully waving her hand on Nick’s shoulder as he tries to wave it off.

Nick: “Hehe, you may have turned into a predator my sweet cottontail but remember that you are still my prey.”

Nick looked at Judy with a scary smile. Judy got creeped out.

Nick: “Ha! You should look at your face!”

Judy: “Don’t scare me like that!” She hits him on the shoulder.

Nick: “Keep an eye on the road then!”

Judy continues to drive, but she didn’t want the conversation to end.

Judy: “Were close to the hospital.”

Nick: “Great, I don’t want to keep seeing this spectacle all the time. Well except you, I kinda like seeing you as vampire.”

Judy: “If I ever do become one, then I’ll get you first.”

Nick: “Fine by me. I let you drink my blood if you ever need to, just don’t turn me into one.”

Judy: “I don’t think that’s how it works.”

Nick: “Then you should watch some horror movies with me then.”

Judy: “Again, no.”

Nick: “Haha, if you ever got gassed a few hours ago, I don’t think you’ll last seeing what I’m seeing.”

Judy: “So outside the window, you can see everyone as monsters?”

Nick: “Yeah……and I can also see myself on the reflection.”

Judy: “What do you see? And by that I mean your reflection?”

Nick: “I don’t think you want to know.”

Judy pulls up at the parking lot and got inside the hospital with Alex and Geno who is still strapped in struggling to get free. The nurses told the other two to go to another section of the hall. While Nick and Judy went into the opposite side. Heading into one of the empty rooms.

The doctor arrived and checked on Nick. She appeared something horrible to Nick’s eyes since he’s making a disgusted face. What could he be seeing the doctor as? She said the hallucinogenic will wear off in a couple of hours so there is no need to worry. 

Judy: “Well I’m glad there’s no bad side effect.”

Nick: “Me too.”

Judy: “I’ll be out and get us something to eat ok?”

Nick: “Sure, I’ll just wait here.”

Judy approached him and gave him a hug, “I’m glad you’re ok.”

Nick: “Thanks Judy.”

Judy leaves the room while Nick is in bed staring at the window seeing all kinds of strange things. Then his eyes adjusted looking at his reflection by the window. 

Nick: “How ironic, I became the thing I was scared off when I was a kid. ”

What he sees is something that he was used to be afraid off. The one thing that scared him when he was a kid now appears as his reflection staring back at him.
