All this talk about AI outstripping humans is beside the point.
The immediate risk is that unscrupulous corporations and governments will use it as a tool to further entrench their power. AI might or might not be seriously dangerous on its own in the far future, but it together with humans is going to be dangerous quite soon, if not already.

- brg 3y agoIt seems historically, unscrupulous corporations and governments entrench their power by holding back technology from wider adoption or further development. As long as technology can be used by a significant portion of the populace, they all seem to lead to a more egalitarian society. I would hope AI is no different.
