I suspect it will go further: imagine giving an mp3 to LLM to clean up some noise. It detects it was illegally downloaded from youtube, deletes it and automatically fines you via attached credit card.
They could be happy to assist you with a task that they also then flag and forward to authorities, especially if their assistance doesn't break the law but has evidence of you doing so.
Ooo, have you read any articles on that happening? I missed them! Given that this is specifically a comment chain in a discussion about them working with authorities, that they'd work with authorities hardly seems like science fiction.
I had to move some games from C:\Games\RandomWarezGroup\GameName to my Steam directory, because Claude refused to reverse engineer an asset format due to piracy being incredibly immoral and illegal and blah blah.
Have you ever thought of doing something you wouldn't be proud of, and then not actually acted on that thought?
If so, or if you can imagine a journal or always-listening assistant hearing your muttering thought. Should you be charged with a crime for that? Who is the victim and what are the damages?
Level 2, the slippery slope:
Suppose you travel to a country where your sexual orientation is illegal. If your AI company or social media provider knows your orientation, should they be compelled to reveal your crime? Why or why not?
"According to the arrest report, a user identified as Carli made a statement on Sept. 26 saying she was going to 'shoot up' the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators say the same user made another statement the following day saying she had gotten a new gun."
At a certain point, intervention seems appropriate. This meets my personal threshold, and I'd hope a friend would do something if they came across that in my journal.
Unless it becomes a requirement to be licensed to be able to use any kind of ai model. You know, for safety and stuff. And of course with appropriate reporting to institutions.
I heard an ad on the radio this morning from the local Internet support/WordPress/website developer/seo company that they've moved from seo into astroturfing for _LLM_ input. They advertised that they'll make sure you're company is the one that gets returned and trusted when other companies search the web via agent. If this works for agentic search, it probably works for _training_ as well, so good luck finding an open LLM that's been trained to follow your interests.
Has there been any research into whether/how much LLMs are more likely to recommend companies whose names they saw in training over similar but smaller or newer command also returned in search results? Given how well advertising works on people, I can't imagine that it _doesn't_ work on LLMs too.
Or worse: downloading a picture of pirate ship and without any concern for the copyright asking the LLM to make a coloring page for your kid. BTW Chatgpt does that way better than Claude
Hey but you’ll be allowed to file a response that will also go to an LLM and deny you automatically. And you will be charge a NSE fee (no sufficient explanation).
Many Humans have platforms reaching hundreds of millions of people, from which they broadcast whatever batshit insane nonsense a 3 inch chimp brain can come up with. Why isnt that considered reckless?
Whether its a politician, a general, religious leader, judge, ceo, stand up comic etc there are hardly any consequences if enough people believe whatever crap they are spouting. Human intelligence is highly over rated. History books are fully of evidence that human rationality is bounded. And the only way we overcome those limitations, blindspots, biases etc is by watching others faceplant in bloody painful ways that it leaves a permanent mark on that little chimp brain we have been given to process the universe.
Also, Beta-Cyclodextrin apparently reverses atherosclerosis in the body and brain - by "absorbing" sugar-alcohol FWIU - and it's already approved but we don't know what dose is low enough to be safe.
If this argument was as solid as you say, then all routine checks would be pointless.
I don't know about traditional blood testing, but a permanent implant which checks HR, pressure, glucose, temperature & oxidation would be pretty useful, not necessarily to diagnose anything, but to provide data for doctor when patient has actual symptomps.
They kind of are. Spain doesn't have yearly physicals, and during a GP visit, they don't even take your blood pressure. Blood tests are extremely uncommon, unlike in British medicine, where they take your blood pressure every time and blood tests are so prevalent people usually request one from time to time despite having no symptoms.
Spain's example showed the above (or the lack of) doesn't increase all-cause mortality and even excelling in longevity statistics.

This japanese article found "No clear-cut evidence exists to determine whether undergoing health checks leads to greater longevity and/or lower medical expenditures."
And blood pressure is especially pernicious, basically every doctors office measures it wrong so the results aren’t particularly useful. Many use the wrong size cuff for example, or don’t give people time to relax before a reading. A ton of people have white coat hypertension, high BP only because they’re in a doctors office.
Our cats and dogs live on such a diet (until you learn what the supermarket cat/dogfood really is and take them off it). Vets have been saying about all those health problems resulting from that diet.
I believe that they made the "butter" out of the leftovers (paraffin) from making liquid fuel out of the coal. So, its not a straight 60:1 ratio, you'd need to add some more products to the equation.
