Me today: shocked pikachu face
- madrox 4y agoThis isn't a matter of smart vs dumb. If the sillier startup ideas of the last 20 years have taught me anything it's that entrepreneurs are really down to try anything, and all it takes is one mistake of the wrong kind.
- olddustytrail 4y agoAh, the "only good guys get AI" fallacy.
- n8cpdx 4y agoLess good vs bad more careful vs reckless.
- olddustytrail 4y agoYup, it's a general observation I've made that some people think only good/kind/careful/concerned about the fate of mankind people will have access to AI. You hear it in things like, "we could just unplug it". How would you unplug the Chinese military AI. Or the US military AI if that's more your nightmare. I need a snappier name for it though. "Nice guys get the AI" fallacy? I'll think about it. Edit: I should ask ChatGPT!
- n8cpdx 4y agoIt’s not about good vs bad but careful vs not careful. Whether or not the Chinese military will use AI is a completely different question to whether they will use it in a way where they lose control of it. Giving an AI shell access is uniquely reckless. You can’t collapse good and careful onto the same spectrum, they are completely different dimensions.
