It has already manifested. All the dangerous uses of AI etc. are already there and used all the time all across the globe from China to the US.

Doesn't the AI act specifically says: document your foundational models, and gives preference to opensource? It's a much better approach than the black box of OpenAI.

That will be the main issue with EU AI Act, too: the industry will gaslight it, spread enormous amounts of FUD, will engage in years-long malicious compliance.

You think this isn't bad? Considering we've just started all this?
- robertlagrant 3y ago> You think this isn't bad? Remember I said "wasn't so bad". Compared to the speculations such as all jobs being eliminated and flawless AI impersonations leading to a total breakdown of communication, yes. It's bad, but it could be a lot worse. And governments can cause fantastic amounts of greater harm just by declaring war. No algorithms required. > Considering we've just started all this? Remember I said "if this is as bad as it gets"
- troupo 3y ago> It's bad, but it could be a lot worse Yes, and it's getting worse > Remember I said "if this is as bad as it gets" 1. How isn't this already bad enough for you? 2. How are you blind to the fact that it is getting worse? With companies like Deloitte already pushing for things like predictive policing [1] among many, many examples of systems already in place, and already causing harm. Yes, governments can go to war, but that's reductio ad absurdum. Whatever bad things happen you can always find worse things. Doesn't mean this somehow justifies or nullifies the existing situation. https://www2.deloitte.com/fi/fi/pages/public-sector/articles/urban-future-with-a-purpose/surveillance-and-predictive-policing-through-ai.html https://www2.deloitte.com/fi/fi/pages/public-sector/articles...
