You don't need AI to build a nuke in your garage. You need uranium. And if you have uranium, you still don't need AI. You need a pocket calculator, a library

You don't need AI to build a nuke in your garage. You need uranium.
And if you have uranium, you still don't need AI. You need a pocket calculator, a library card, and a death wish.
- NiloCK 3mo agoYes - persons with death wishes having arbitrarily powerful consultation is the crux of it. Apologies for the bad example. Replace w/ gain of function / whatever else, or just brainstorm with your local model, ect.
- CamperBob2 3mo agoIf you are going to do something evil, you're going to do it either way. The best (worst) an AI can do is put you ahead by a couple of years. Aum Shin Rikyo didn't need AI. Neither did WIV, if you believe the conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, decelerationism and secrecy cripple the rest of us.
