John Oliver, succinctly sums up the state of where we are

It's often the case that more sense is spoken in satire than in countless papers and column inches. A case in point is John Oliver summing up where we are at with the AI hype. It is a well paced piece, getting into the heart of the many issues faced after around 15 minutes. The TayTweets example was both funny and alarming, showing that AI can easily fall for populism/fascism. This is going to be an issue with alignment, as whose values will alignment actually embrace? Human values are still a contested topic, and will remain so, giving national interests. The three laws of robotics will not suffice.

'The right to human review of decisions made fully by computers should not be removed ‘while AI is still in its infancy’, the professional body for IT has warned. Regulation needs to go far beyond this.

I've noted that GPT5 is now going to be an incremental roll out, so by the end of this year, or early next year GPT 4.2, rather than 5 may be rolled out, giving rise to the '6 months freeze' as has been called for, in appearance at least. We should all know from experience that 6 months is akin to mere minutes given the pace of reactive legislation.

An added bonus, but this is about Sydney:

The Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

Can We Build a Safe Superintelligence? Safe Superintelligence Inc. Raises Intriguing Questions

Safe Superintelligence Inc . (SSI) has burst onto the scene with a bold mission: to create the world's first safe superintelligence (SSI). Their (Ilya Sutskever, Daniel Gross, Daniel Levy) ambition is undeniable, but before we all sign up to join their "cracked team," let's delve deeper into the potential issues with their approach. One of the most critical questions is defining "safe" superintelligence. What values would guide this powerful AI? How can we ensure it aligns with the complex and often contradictory desires of humanity? After all, "safe" for one person might mean environmental protection, while another might prioritise economic growth, even if it harms the environment. Finding universal values that a superintelligence could adhere to is a significant hurdle that SSI hasn't fully addressed. Another potential pitfall lies in SSI's desire to rapidly advance capabilities while prioritising safety. Imagine a Formula One car wi...

The Hidden Environmental Cost of AI: Data Centres' Surging Energy and Water Consumption

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives, powering everything from smart assistants to complex data analysis. However, as AI technologies continue to advance and proliferate, a concerning trend has emerged: the rapidly increasing energy and water consumption of data centres that support these systems. The Power Hunger of AI According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global data centre electricity demand is projected to more than double between 2022 and 2026, largely due to the growth of AI. In 2022, data centres consumed approximately 460 terawatt-hours (TWh) globally, and this figure is expected to exceed 1,000 TWh by 2026. To put this into perspective, that's equivalent to the entire electricity consumption of Japan. The energy intensity of AI-related queries is particularly striking. While a typical Google search uses about 0.3 watt-hours (Wh), a query using ChatGPT requires around 2.9 Wh - nearly ten times more en...
