A TWITTER HOAX CAUSES STOCKS TO DIP

Photos of The Pentagon up in flames scattered across Twitter yesterday. Blue checkmarks picked up the story, and a hoard of accounts cried out into the void about this unexpected tragedy.

The fire never happened. Only one outlet fell for the ruse.

Let’s face it; Twitter is now the best place to spread misinformation since the change in their checkmark policy. They manufacture hoaxes faster than Nike can make a shoe.

Unfortunately, generative AI is helping a ton in this area. 

An investigative journalist highlighted the unmistakable markings of a generated photo before this news spread any further.

The stock market was less lucky.

Traders are not gullible people, and I promise Wall Street bankers we’re not panicking over a fake fire. But their algorithms fall for stupid stuff all the time.

When RT, the Russian-owned news company, tweeted out the fake story, it was enough to trigger some bots and start a brief dip. The correction happened in a flash.

The bigger worry is why this even happened. Conspiracy accounts that peddle misinformation about the Russo-Ukrainian War paused their efforts to pick this story up. Why?

Perhaps someone was prodding to see how vulnerable Twitter is to fake news stories, and this was a test flight. Suggesting that more hoaxes like this will happen with AI advancements is reasonable.

AI detection tools must catch up because news stories like this aren’t going away anytime soon.

AI RESEARCHER TERMS 101 WITH INCLINED AI

In a Blue Bottle in San Francisco, a developer talks about artificial intelligence and the future with their friend. The conversation is going great, and the developer decides to pop the question.

“Hey, we’re having a great time, right?” They say. “So anyways, I was just like wondering; what’s your P(doom)?”

What the heck is P(doom)?

I went full Courage the Cowardly Dog on this sucker and typed away on the computer until I figured it all out.

P(doom) measures the likelihood of AI becoming a threat to humanity. On a scale from 0 to 100, how probable is it that the development of AI will pose an existential risk to humans?

Researchers have their own P(doom) numbers that tell you their angle on the situation and how they assess current trends. But even that’s fuzzy.

For instance, when someone says their P(doom) is .15, that can mean a few different things. It might be a betting number (what are the odds this happens) or the number their prediction models spat out.

One number tends to be different from the other, and both create a different context in conversations.

So why talk P(doom) at all?

Sometimes it helps two people find differences in how they view AI’s future; other times, it’s a way to measure the impact of a research decision.

Neither is wrong.

So, what’s our P(doom), then? Given that ChatGPT can’t even randomly roll dice for you, I’d say less than 1% if we’re talking betting odds.
