It says something about our current world that, having read the headline and not knowing who this guy is, I expected him to a booster of both AI and Nazism. It’s a relief to find he means this as a criticism.
For a moment I thought it was onion
The current landscape is the wet dream of nazis. It’s gonna be so efficient to dissapear people. They even put their own information online. Silly ones.
Couple things:
AI is the least efficient way to do literally anything. It’s just faster at a few very specific things.
AI does not lean toward quality. That is not a metric it can comprehend. It is not a pressure it can respond to. Predictably, its quality has and will always be horseshit.
Finally, who looks at Hitler and thinks the problem was poor optimization?

What a choice of words… 🤦 Deliberate? “Better”? How about “worse” instead?
I’d prefer someone worse at killing people
I would appreciate gen AI being even better at killing itself.
I don’t think it’s wrong to look at any technology and decide whether it’s worth perusing based on “how excited would hitler have been to use this”
Stuff like databases gets a pass, that’s just an essential thing. Stuff like AI and Flock obviously crosses the line into “could easily be used for genocide at scales never seen before”
I have not read the article yet. Just popped in to say the headline alone strikes dread in the very core of my soul.
Depends on the purpose of the database.
Yes, it’s the what not the how databases work
Brother America’s been doing it before Ai, it was just marketed differently.
Stuart Russell: ‘What Hitler Did, AI Could Do Faster, Better and More Efficiently’
Depending on how much we integrate it into all our shit I fear it could also do it imperceptibly.
Leave it to AI to find a more efficient way to shoot yourself.
Oh, he’s talking about the other thing…
They don’t need another selling point!

Anyone help me get past the German paywall?
Gracias mi amigo
Well, that’s not hard, Hitler was smashed 24-7 and he was demonstrably crazy
I keep hearing everybody tell me how AI is going to be super dangerous and wipe out humanity or something but it also can’t sort out my Excel spreadsheet on its own, so I’m sort of sceptical.
How could A.I. butchery be “better” ? It is still butchery all the same.
I’m just straight up done listening to old white shits completely.
I think you’ve missed the point a bit. It’s “better” only from the Nazis’ point of view. Stuart Russell is not saying that it would be better. He thinks it would be worse, because people or AIs being better at Nazism is worse for the world overall. He’s saying AI is a threat to the world because right now it’s in the hands of people (many of them fascists) who ignore the dangers.
Here’s the whole thing without paywall:
My old shits usually remain brown 😉 Mine never talk back though!
You can ignore it. It’s just a circle jerk of hate. It would make more sense posted on /fuck_ai but that community leaks on the daily.
