AI will not harm humanity. Nuclear weapons will not harm humanity. Bad humans will.
- pentaphobe 2y agoNot sure if ironic or not, but wild how often I'm hearing people paraphrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people" line lately. I guess any group can become the NRA when their controversial interest comes under scrutiny.
- TheNewsIsHere 2y agoI think this is a strong argument. Just as you cannot hold a computer accountable, you can't hold any piece of technology responsible. Of course some technology is created to harm or destroy as its outcome, but that isn't most technology. If someone inside OpenAI had said something like "I predict there is a 70% chance our current corporate culture and leadership will harm or destroy humanity", that would be a much more compelling argument. It's what you do with the technology that counts.
- MattPalmer1086 2y agoHeh, the problem with AI may be what it does with us.
- pupppet 2y agoYes, we know that it is ultimately bad humans pulling the trigger, but we also know for a fact that bad humans exist. So why are we arming them?
- tivert 2y ago> Yes, we know that it is ultimately bad humans pulling the trigger, but we also know for a fact that bad humans exist. So why are we arming them? Because tech people want to build, are paid to build, and "it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
