GPT-4 and the AI Revolution

[The United Penguin Commonwealth]

there’s now an open-source project called AutoGPT that enables OpenAI GPTs 3.5 and 4 to break apart tasks, remember, and interface with the internet, which allows them to get current data and perform multi-stage tasks. it still has a lot of problems with focus and complex goals, but that will only get better as time goes on.

additionally, researchers created a small town of autonomous AI agents who were provided with backstories and were able to interact with each other and their environment in a game engine reminiscent of the RPG genre. this shows off the capabilities of even current AI models and could be used to make less important game NPCs much more interesting, unique, and real.

A framework that, it should be noted, was used by a chemical engineering professor to get ChatGPT to suggest a suite of new chemical weapons and even places to have them manufactured:

After Andrew White was granted access to GPT-4, the new artificial intelligence system that powers the popular ChatGPT chatbot, he used it to suggest an entirely new nerve agent.

The chemical engineering professor at the University of Rochester was among the 50 academics and experts hired to test the system last year by OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed company behind GPT-4. Over six months, this “red team” would “qualitatively probe [and] adversarially test” the new model, attempting to break it.

White told the Financial Times he had used GPT-4 to suggest a compound that could act as a chemical weapon and used “plug-ins” that fed the model with new sources of information, such as scientific papers and a directory of chemical manufacturers. The chatbot then even found a place to make it.

“I think it’s going to equip everyone with a tool to do chemistry faster and more accurately,” he said. “But there is also significant risk of people . . . doing dangerous chemistry. Right now, that exists.”

Also the guy on GitHub who is developing AutoGPT specifically to create an ‘AGI’ goes by the handle Significant Gravitas, so I am unfortunately forced to take the position that we need President DeSantis to ban the Culture novels as people seem incapable of understanding what those books are actually about.

Fuck me, that's not even doing the gravitas joke properly!

Has the name “Annie Altman” been uttered yet in this thread?

Goddamnit the robots were meant to eliminate manual labor so we could all be intellectuals in a post manual labor utopia where everyone was a poet or author.

And now we still have factory workers while artists are being replaced by the AI fucking Picasso? Come on man. False advertising.

Sucks when you get replaced doesn’t it yall were cheering robots and offshoring jobs for guys like me because we were dumb low class folk. Now all of you bohemian urbanites get the short end of the stick. Welcome to being disposable get in line were all going to the same paupers coffin
