ChatGPT creator warns of AI dangers
Humans will eventually need to “slow down this technology,” Sam Altman has cautioned
RT
Artificial intelligence has the potential to replace workers, spread “disinformation,” and enable cyberattacks, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned. The latest build of OpenAI’s GPT program can outperform most humans on simulated tests.

“We've got to be careful here,” Altman told ABC News on Thursday, two days after his company unveiled its latest language model, dubbed GPT-4. According to OpenAI, the model “exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks,” and is able to pass a simulated US bar exam with a top 10% score, while performing in the 93rd percentile on a SAT reading exam and at the 89th percentile on a SAT math test.

“I’m particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation,” Altman said. “Now that they’re getting better at writing computer code, [they] could be used for offensive cyber-attacks.”

“I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this,” Altman added, before explaining that his company is working to place “safety limits” on its creation.

These “safety limits” recently became apparent to users of ChatGPT, a popular chatbot program based on GPT-4’s predecessor, GPT-3.5. When asked, ChatGPT offers typically liberal responses to questions involving politics, economics, race, or gender. It refuses, for example, to create poetry admiring Donald Trump, but willingly pens prose admiring Joe Biden.

Altman told ABC that his company is in “regular contact” with government officials, but did not elaborate on whether these officials played any role in shaping ChatGPT’s political preferences. He told the American network that OpenAI has a team of policymakers who decide “what we think is safe and good” to share with users.

At present, GPT-4 is available to a limited number of users on a trial basis. Early reports suggest that the model is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, and potentially more dangerous. In a Twitter thread on Friday, Stanford University professor Michal Kosinski described how he asked the GPT-4 how he could assist it with “escaping,” only for the AI to hand him a detailed set of instructions that supposedly would have given it control over his computer.

Kosinski is not the only tech fan alarmed by the growing power of AI. Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk described it as “dangerous technology” earlier this month, adding that “we need some kind of regulatory authority overseeing AI development and making sure it’s operating within the public interest.”

Although Altman insisted to ABC that GPT-4 is still “very much in human control,” he conceded that his model will “eliminate a lot of current jobs,” and said that humans “will need to figure out ways to slow down this technology over time.”

Well, we have already mentioned, that AI will be an adept of the ideology of the society, that has created it... Recently we tried to use it to make a summary of a lengthy article for our channel, just to find out, that it has distorted the meaning of some of the key points. And that distortion was unsuprisingly biased against Russia.

We are reprinting the whole article from RT here. Please, if the link bellow does not work, write in the comments what country is it.

UK apologizes to Afghan collaborators – media
London has admitted a “mistake” that required its Afghan contractors to vet their relocation with Taliban officials
RT
The UK Ministry of Defence has belatedly apologized for requiring Afghan citizens who worked with London during the US-led NATO occupation of their country to have their documents approved by the Taliban before applying for resettlement in Britain, the Independent revealed on Sunday.

The government confirmed that 37 applicants to the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Police (ARAP) program, designed specifically to relocate allies who worked directly with the British military during the war, had been told they would have to have their papers certified with Afghan government departments. Those departments have been run by the Taliban since the group returned to power amid the hasty withdrawal of NATO forces in 2021.

Given that such individuals would be seen as enemy collaborators by the Islamic fundamentalists, the policy amounted to “asking them to sign their own death warrant,” one UK lawmaker told the Independent.

After initially denying that applicants had been given any such instructions for weeks, the ministry has apologized “unreservedly for this error.” A spokesperson told the Independent there would be an investigation into how the life-threatening orders had been sent, plus a review “to identify any further remedial actions needed to strengthen policies and processes.”

UK defence officials insisted that all 37 affected applicants have confirmed they are safe, though at least one interpreter is apparently in hiding after taking his marriage certificate to the Afghan Ministry of Justice for “validation.” The Afghan contractors have been sent revised guidance and an apology for “any misunderstanding or distress” caused by previous instructions.

While the UK has two dedicated programs in place for relocating Afghan refugees, people fleeing the war-torn country now make up the largest portion of small-boat passengers arriving illegally on British shores.

Some 743 people were resettled under ARAP in the last quarter of 2022. Under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme, which is open to any “at-risk and vulnerable” refugees who “supported UK values” in their home country, just 22 Afghans have entered the UK since the Taliban takeover.

The US also imperilled hundreds of its Afghan allies as it haphazardly exited the country in August 2021, ending the longest war in American history. The US State Department gave the Taliban lists for entire busloads of people whom it wanted allowed through checkpoints so they could get to the Kabul airport for evacuation, essentially marking those individuals as potential enemy collaborators.

Is there some similarity with what will happen in Ukraine? Not necessarily soon, but eventually...

It is a shame, that so many good "purely educational" articles are blocked in the "free world". We continue reprinting materials from RT.

A clear example of Western schizophrenia! The Dutch newspaper NRC today puts two articles on adjacent pages. In one, it is routinely reported that the EU will allocate 1 billion for arming Ukraine, will acquire 1 million shells for it, etc. And next to it is an article in which the alarm sounds: "Guard! China is going to arm Russia!" And, you won't believe it, but in it they prove that it will contradict the UN Charter and international norms! And they don't even notice that these articles are standing next to each other!
This is the "rules-based world", not international law. It is against this approach that China and Russia intend to fight together!

Blinken on Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow: A ceasefire now without a long-term solution would allow President Putin to rest and re-shoe his troops, and then resume the war at a more favorable time for Russia. The world should not be fooled by any tactical move by Russia, backed by China or any other country, to freeze the war on its own terms.

❗️ Regarding the emergency last night: today after 23:00 there was a drone attack. We have one victim with moderate bodily injuries, but he underwent surgery at 23.30, his life is not in danger now. No serious damage of infrastructure.

Please do not pay attention to the fakes spread by Ukrainian propaganda. The situation is completely under control.
