All the negativity really is an understandable response to so many negative changes to the status quo way of life, but I can't help but take a step back as a realist and say that Pandora's box is open.
That is not to say we are powerless to regulate aspects of how this technology is legally utilized, but this sort of quasi-luddite "turn it off" response is totally infeasible.
The best bet we have for making the AI future suck less is by building things which make life more compatible with AI. That means a revamp of how we handle intellectual property, how we handle education, how we manage an economy humanely in a world where human labor potential is comparatively diminished.
We need to focus upward toward the things that can make humanity able to handle the transition. Not downward toward the sand where we can pretend it isn't happening.
EDIT: please respond if you're going to take away my karma for my honest opinion. I use AI almost every waking hour but we have to be realists about the impacts on society
- spacemadness 1y agoYeah I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted so heavily. I don’t fully agree but you’re not trolling in any sense.
- cadamsdotcom 1y agoWhy is this downvoted? Unfortunately when well reasoned comments get downvoted, people leave HN. Maybe it’s just me. But I hope the folks who manage this community are paying attention.
- ciwolex 1y agoThis has happened to me a couple of times. Any post you put on hacker news that's critical to AI, gets downvoted. I think hacker news has a vested interest in AI via Altman. The moderators don't like AI being criticized. I won't be surprised that my this comment gets removed.
- spacemadness 1y agoIt gets heavily criticized, I’ve done it plenty, and I don’t get heavily downvoted when I do. There are posts all the time about people being fed up with the industry in its current state. It is odd this one is being targeted.
