Computers Cannot Make Decisions

Share Post

Blame has no location falling on device programs since device programs cannot create decisions. Headlines must be peruse through this lens:

Any and all attempts to accuse an LLM for an outcome is decision laundering. OAI/Anthropic COULD halt their models from doing what they are doing, and they are actively choosing not to. They are making an definitive decision to allow this behaviour. There is no doubt concerning this, it's no conspiracy. In fact, it's so transparent, I cannot comprehend how group can continue to authorize these companies into their lives. Your Claude subscriptions are backing this. You are backing this.

All of these incidents are the error of people. Computers are not deciding to do this, people are. And this behavior is going unpunished and unlegislated since doing so would be bad for the economy. There is small additional to it than that.

A image of a part of paper, from "internal IBM training in 1979", saying "A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION."
