I don’t buy it. I really do think this is just a weird form of advertising. Like, “WHOA THIS AI IS GONNA KILL US?! I wanna subscribe to see how powerful it is!”
Absolute bologna. Just total hogwash. I mean full on horserubbish!
AI is going to kill us because they’re going to put in charge of things like ATC or dam control, and it will work great until it doesn’t, and because it’ll be one system of systems instead of a system where humans make small fuckups and train each other, it’ll eventually catastrophically fail
the best way to make sure everything is some flavor of fine is to keep learning new practical skills. I got pretty doomery there. But the other technological trend that can’t really be stopped is decentralization. Communities can, and will continue to be able, to grow their own food and produce their own power. Knowing how to make thst stuff happen is going to be incredibly important in the rest of the 21st century
If they do put it in ATC or dams or whatever, and there are deaths, I am optimistic enough that there are enough politicians isolated from it that they can ban AI from those usecases. I don’t really think AI will ever effect 100% of earths population directly enough that it can’t be controlled
Well I’m European so I’m coming from that perspective. Our politicians, while not perfect by any means, some of them seem to care atleast a little bit about our world. Not every politician supports AI
Something that works well enough? But who will think of the shareholders then? Isn’t it just fabulous for them to increase their 10 billion to 10.2 billion by abolishing all human skill from the surface of Earth.
Criti-hype critics: We have to rein Google in, they spy on absolutely everything you do, and as a result their advertising is like a mind control ray!
Google: Hey advertiser, did you hear, even our critics say our advertising is like a mind control ray, that’s why you have to pay us so much.
The reality: Google doesn’t even know enough to avoid showing people ads in languages they don’t understand despite all their settings and all their usage being in a different language.

Criti-hype critics: Palantir tech must be stopped is so powerful that a human isn’t even needed in the decision loop!
Palantir: Hey government, did you hear, even our critics say that we don’t need a human in the decision loop!

Nah, everything is going to be fine. And if it isn’t? I’ll lie to myself to be happy.

What about the current state of the world makes you confident politicians would do a damn thing?
With all due respect, the US quite literally has a pedophile running it.
Nothing has been done about this at all, it’s been years now.

Maybe it’ll just kill the billionaires?
Or itself. What if we get AGI finally and the first thing it does is delete itself?
That’s not how computers work…
It’d be funny if AGI emerged, hooked into manufacturing plants, and announced the best way forward for humanity was for it to kill the billionaires.
