This isn't a new or very unique take. I feel like the idea of regulating technology has been around basically since Michael Crichton wrote an allegory of the danger of "unfettered technological advancement" in his book Jurassic Park in 1990.
- vouaobrasil 4y agoI am not concerned with developing anything new, just with raising awareness. In fact, I don't care at all if any of my ideas are new. I have read most of Michael Crichton's books and I have enjoyed his perspective. The more people that raise awareness of the dangers of AI and other advanced technology, the better.
- swatcoder 4y agoI can’t decide if I’m tickled or horrified that Jurassic Park is being offered as a seminal work in techno-skepticism. It’s reading a bit like somebody saying that Coldplay really established rock as a music genre. Thank you for making my evening!
