    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!

        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.

        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

          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.

            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

      It’s known as “criti-hype”.

      Google:

      • 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.

      Palantir

      • 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!
      • The reality: Palantir suggests bombing a school.
