Also add Netflix and any media conglomerate that posts content online.
Regarding the assertion of control. Even if there are people in charge of these things, they cannot control them.
How was Facebook in control of all the data that Cambridge analytica took and used?
How is IG in control of all the bots that post and like content?
How is google in control of SEO spam?
Unrelated to AI, here in HN there’s been multiple stories about nuclear weapons being lost, mis-handled and mis-fired. How is that being in control?
Its a mess out there, it’s always been like that. There’s no one in control. We just pretend to be so we don’t freak out.
- PaulHoule 4y agoThis old and obscure book foretells the "loss of control" scenario we are experiencing now https://www.amazon.com/Eco-computer-Intelligence-Geoff-L-Simons/dp/0471913405 https://www.amazon.com/Eco-computer-Intelligence-Geoff-L-Sim... in explicit opposition to the scenario from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project I usually avoid posting links to YouTube because they don't work in all geographies but this trailer is great if you can see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyOEwiQhzMI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyOEwiQhzMI
- nico 4y agoFascinating! Thank you for the links. It's crazy to me that in the 60s-70s there was an AI revolution at the same time as a psychedelic revolution. And now the same thing again. Very interesting times. How do you see AI impacting farms in the US?
