I really hate how people who have always thought AI research to be an existential risk for humanity, now are apparently bundled to be on the same side of the Sam Altmans and Dario Amodeis that are using the existential risk as a sneaky form of marketing for their products.
You cannot discuss existential risks of AI without being seen as a booster, and that is very unhealthy for the discourse around this tech. I hate how AI ‘doomer’ is now used to indicate pro-AI sentiment. The “moderate” person now is the one that just shrugs and scoffs at the deep societal changes this tech will bring, head deep in the sand.
- Mr_Minderbinder 28d agoI have been wary of the risks surrounding AI since watching Robert Miles on Computerphile more than a decade ago. Since then I have paid at least some attention to developments coming out of AI safety research. Even back then the discussion was fraught with doubt which, given the nature of this topic, was to be expected. It is unfortunate that it is worse now, when the stakes are much higher.
