of course the AI will be designed not to help the caller get to their ends, it will be designed to maximize shareholder value. ie, say just the right things to get you quit, and to upgrade, ie manipulate you.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoIn the limit you get one shareholder who owns the entire planet, a compliant AI consort, self-replicating production machines that are the AI's hands and eyes - and everyone else is disposable. And probably dead. Except for some tiny proportion of slaves who are entertaining and/or useful. The one shareholder will be the most aggressive, narcissistic and psychopathic son of a bitch, because those are the qualities competition selects for. I thought this election cycle was bad. It's almost reassuring that much worse horrors are possible.
