The current reality of tech isn’t great. More than half a million jobs lost post 2021, yet the top tech companies are back to their top valuations with much smaller headcounts.
There are very real risks with AI.
- concentration of power and wealth - we already see this with AMAGF
- echo chambers - the algorithms amplify the extremes - already see this. People can’t even agree on who won the election.
- AI in military use killing 1000s - already happening, and will only go up.
- Surveillance
AI has potential to become a massive force of good, but also has very serious risks if we are not careful.
AI in essence is the power to amplify human comprehension and control of the environment.
It is unlikely we go to 50B humans, but very likely a few humans end up controlling billions of humans and building the utopia of distopia.
