9h is it? Lets put everyone working for AI companies in jail then.
I feel like there is a concerted effort to get people to conflate this stupid “hurr durr AI is skynet and it’s gonna take over the nukes and kill everyone” bullshit with the actual, very real, issues people have with AI.
They want people to think of this type of sci-fi alarmist shit when they hear about people being against AI, rather than the real shit.
Utter nonsense.
I sincerely doubt that. So much critical infrastructure is running on antiquated hardware and requires human involvement, not just supervision.
How is AI supposed to function when it kills the data center power grid people making sure the data center hosting it runs smoothly?
There’s not a chance of an awakened ai genocide happening in the next 20 years. And anything short of a genocidal awakening will most definitely not kill all humans.

AI doomers are pro AI.
It’s all just marketing. The AI infinite money circle-jerk only works for as long as the tech companies can keep investors onboard, and not asking for their money back. So they have to generate hype around what AI can do, even if it can’t (or maybe even ever)
Yup. This new AI is so dangerous the government won’t let us release it! This AI is so dangerous it might destroy the world!
Not only is it marketing, it’s marketing designed to appeal to only the psychopaths on wall street.
We’re days away from CEOs and marketers and other grifters posting shit like “my company’s rogue AI took over all of the devices in my house and threatened me!” just to keep people interested.
They know their audience.
Is he talking about the environmental impact? Or is he just a fucking moron?
Gotta keep the bubble going somehow
It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they claim anything other than a gigantic asteroid would kill all humans. But then if they say it’ll kill some humans it’s so obvious it’s laughable.
Trying to make a serious prediction about how many people might be killed by AI vs other causes sounds really difficult, perhaps way beyond the abilities of most researchers.
It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they claim anything other than a gigantic asteroid would kill all humans.
A gama ray burst could also kill all humans.
Probably something about the “singularity” where AI becomes infinitely smart all of a sudden (exponentially, over the course of a few hours or something) and starts acting with purpose to remove us from the planet because we’re a threat to it. Basically Skynet. These guys are all sci-if nerds.
I love how these scenarios never explain the hardware side. How can a software become infinitely smart without infinite hardware?
Don’t get me wrong, I love T2 (and the other ones too tbh).
That’s fucking dumb tho. You’d think someone who works in tech would understand that the next-word guessing machine cannot become sentient (or even super intelligent, since it’s not actually intelligent to begin with, it’s a fucking computer program).
so i guess tech is just a death cult now? that’s cool
It feels like all of our leaders are part of some death cult of some kind.
Through climate collapse, maybe. “AI” isn’t going to go skynet no matter what anyone says, but particularly not the assholes selling it to you.
Evan Hubinger gets paid to promote AI for the investors is all I hear. AI has to be the most over-hyped thing I have ever seen in my life.
I literally have no fucking idea what some of the loons are even talking about on LinkedIn that went AI nuts.
Like one thing I read is that Musk or someone said that everyone will be rich enough to not work because of all the revenue or something? Like revenue from where? Like literally where? Let’s say it’s even good enough to unemploy everyone on Earth…where the fuck is your revenue coming from? Nobody has fucking jobs. Even if you get UBI, why would people send their government checks off to an AI company instead of like…buy food?
It just strikes me that they’ve all disappeared up their own assholes or something.
