"AI could kill us all one day" is the new "climate change is an existential threat" It's not true, and even if it were true, nobody's willing to do what's necessary to stop it globally, so why worry? In the long run, we are all dead

I remember 35 years ago in elementary school them talking to us about the climate and recycling and all that bullshit. There was a propaganda kid show back then called Captain planet. At the end of the day, it’s all bullshit and we’re all gonna be dead at some point.

What ghoulish cope. We should just give up and let the AI companies kill all of our kids? Just because you're a fatalist about 'well, we all gotta die someday...' Come on dude.

All it takes to stop it is for us, China and maybe a handful of other countries to get together and sign a basic agreement, the same way we (mostly) successfully did with nukes. It's a REAL problem, but it is solvable.

That dude spreading that BS (who worked for anthropic for a grand total of 3 months) is a Manchurian stooge. Short stint at a prestigious AI company, then onto the media circuit, selling snake-oil extinction fantasies as "insider knowledge" CCP bots amplify What a nut job.

That’s a rhetorical answer and you don’t mean it. It just kind of gets off the hook of thinking about the matter further. hollyelmore.substack.com/p/d…

You realize a Super AI could hack into the Defense Departments mainframes with ease.... it would be child play And there isn't a single barrier we're could think up that could even slow it down

It’s actually more sinister than that. It is Anthropic an OpenAI pushing this stuff for regulatory capture so open source ai doesnt cut into their businesses. Open source AI is the ONLY way to abundance for regular Americans over the next decade. They want to stamp it down and control the entire space, which will give them outsized influence over our lives.

I love AI. I just wish I was smart enough to figure out how to use it to get rich. But aside for that, it's immenely useful in daily life and also at work.

"It's not true" you wrote. You have almost certainly have no idea. Yet you post like you're an expert - like it's open and shut. Try to show at least a little humility regarding areas in which you have little background, knowledge or experience.

In the very specific sense that it’s an alarmist message pushed by the Democratic Party, in this case to get people to stop talking about Hasan Piker and friends.

Buck, you once worked for an agency with letters. We both know that nobody knows what the future of AI is. That stated, this isn’t climate change or global warming. We can’t be Senator Sanders level illogical about AI, but we can’t dismiss it. Maybe I spend too much time around AI people, but the Hugging Face hack from OpenAI was a bit scary. I can’t even explain it, so people need to look that one up for themselves.

Ive tried to understand exactly how AI would kill us and I come up with nothing. Maybe thats because I don't work in, or understand the potential of AI? How would it kill us? Robots that turn?

I predict they’ll be an emergency effort to force regulation on AI due to an even that wakes everyone up on the dangers of it, then, because our stock market is so heavily invested in AI, the economy crashes

Since climate change scary movie has ended, the director of the old will need to create a new even more scary one to scare people into conforming with their orders.

If anything kills all if us one day, it will be because of what another human has done, or an extinction-level event whether from earth or space.

This is the same Covid hysteria. “Trust the experts” and “two weeks to slow the curve.” It’s about aggregation of power, concentrated in liberal hands. Liberals will tell you what you can and can’t have and you’ll like it. Additionally, they can’t have AI because it might tell the truth about socialism and communism.

Zero chance a I kills humanity. Pretty good chance evil humans use a I to do the deed.

Great attitude. I guess you were the guy just waving the Nazis into Paris.

The only thing that could stop a super intelligent runaway Chinese model would be a sufficiently advanced counter model. We are sabotaging ourself because people are fucking tetarded.

Or, "AI could kill us all one day" is the new "Iran is weeks away from getting a nuclear weapon".

@BuckSexton do you think AI will be smart enough to hack, take over, and launch a nuke? I think that’s the worry.
