> It is one and the same.
Wrong. I have a hugely negative opinion on cars that I express often. Still, I think streets should be complete, and roads built for all modes of travel, and more restrictive laws on car use.
> Is that a threat?
No. Do you feel threatened? Rest assured, you won't be the billionaire and I won't be a part of the mob, but I'm warning that is what will happen when ordinary people are pushed too far. China taking over the country would be a massive improvement, but they're going to do that by prompting, "Chat take over the US"? Unlikely.
> The people should be asking for basic assistance benefits
You have resigned your agency as a free human being. We are just a bunch of humans on earth. If we all decided AI was bad enough we could ban it. The people don't want basic assistance, they want a say in the direction of their lives. At the moment, their lives are being directed by billionaires and those who saw a fancy chatbot and decided to willingly become a serf.

- mekdoonggi 5mo agoI didn't say I wanted to ban it, just that we could. Human beings have collectively regulated all kinds of maths, ideas, and ideologies. I am not a Luddite. I am saying that humans collectively have the power to control things for our benefit. Thankfully I've already passed on my genome :)
- OutOfHere 5mo agoWe actually do not regulate mathematics. In the United States, any such regulations would also expressly be unconstitutional under the First Amendment. AI is as much an idealogy as is using a computer, which is to say that it isn't. AI is for our benefit. You know what isn't for our benefit -- stupid jobs that even an automaton can do. We just have to pressure the government in the way I noted earlier, then use any free time to explore our passions. This freedom actually is the precondition of creativity and self-realization.
- adrienne 5mo ago> We actually do not regulate mathematics. Counterpoint: ITAR. DeCSS. People have literally been arrested for publishing numbers.
- standardly 5mo agoLOL what a conflation. Legitimately laughed out loud when you said "ban mathematics". Totally not a strawman at all. Typo maybe?
- OutOfHere 5mo agoNot really, and your comment goes to say how poorly you have thought through your comment. AI can be created using many algorithms, all of which correspond to the use of substantial branches of mathematics. A clean delineation will never be possible. If you don't agree, propose your specific definition of AI, and I will find a way to keep counteracting your ban. And if your definition is vague, I will argue that my tech is not AI.
