> I'm worried about AI. Really quite worried, actually. I get the sense that this forum is almost engaged in a collective exercise of cognitive dissonance to avoid the implications of the rapid progress that we're all so aware of. Of course it is. People here are active drivers of the latest technology. It's a given that they'll take the instrumentalist "AI is a tool, it just has to be carefully used" cop-out because they could never handle the cognitive dissonance that they are making the world significantly worse.
