Comment on Houthis used Anthropic to develop guided weapons

AI is just a next word predictor. It cannot understand the development of guided weapons as it's not conscious.

One problem with well performed sarcasm is a noteworthy tendency to darken the text colour on hn

Indeed. My humble opinion is that sarcasm doesn't belong on discussion boards, even with the silly /s marker. Eventually it poisons everything it touches.

I'm only in control of what I do, not what others do. Thus, I only judge myself by my own standards, not of others.

Non sequitur. Can't live in a society and be free of it.

Category error. When it comes to judgement, I am.

I'm just a next word predictor too

Then society should have the right to end your life as soon as you're no longer useful as you've just reduced yourself to an algorithm, what value do you serve if you're just a next word predictor ?

Reducing your self worth like that is a very stupid thing to do.

How does describing something reduce its worth?

Its a grossly incomplete description. A reductive description.

We use incomplete descriptions all the time. Like I could say "I'm an early riser". Is that reductive?

All statements are reductive because language is injective to reality.

This argument from 2024? We are all next word predictors, what matters is what the next word is.
