I guess, but on the flip side there are potentially transformative positive applications that we already know about and have yet to discover. Fundamentally some people are more optimistic and risk-loving when it comes to new technology. I believe the "good" will overwhelmingly outweigh the "bad" that you're pointing out. I think it mostly comes down to personality.
- api 4y agoI can think of some positive applications. The thing that makes me cynical here is that all the evil applications seem like they're going to be far more profitable in terms of either money or power. This would be a continuation of what's happened to the Internet in the last 10-15 years. The Internet is amazing and has tons of incredibly positive uses but all the money is in mass surveillance, addictive "engagement maximizing" stuff, and gambling and scams.
