- chatmasta 4y agoNo, and I frequently encounter this analogy about AI, but it's completely absurd. AI is not a nuke. I don't see the point of even entertaining the idea of it.
- eternalban 4y agoGoogle and Microsoft (read: corporations) don't have nukes. But if they could and did, yes, why not Joe Schmoe? A little deterence for those days when your Google account suddenly stops working. Just send a stern letter to Mountain View. More seriously: Corporations have fiduciary obligations only to the shareholders. Civilization disrupting technology can not, must not, be trusted to sole custodianship of such decision making regimes.
- ajuc 4y agoRussia and China suck, but it's still better that only a few countries have nukes instead of millions of people having 1 each :) If everybody had nukes we'd stop living in big cities :)
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoThis whataboutism isn't a good fit for this particular issue, I think.
