How so? What are you even talking about?

How come you think these things are at odds? You realize there are always going to be risks in building anything significant? It's completely valid to talk one day about all the great things your product will do, while the next day dis

This is happening now because of hugging face attack and Anthropic researchers coming out publicly saying they think there's a significant chance AI will wipe out humanity within a decade. It's happening precisely because progress

Well, smart people usually try to base their opinions on specific information instead of pulling things out of their ass. A whistleblower revealing information. Internal documents laying out a strategy, or even a desire, to conspire. Someth

This reads like the morons who say, "you want higher taxes, well go ahead and send the government a check!" Utter stupidity

I don't view this as hysteria. The fears around superintelligent AI have existed for a decade or more. That's not because AI researchers have a penchant for dreaming up sci-fi scenarios. It's because the concern is based on f

Maybe? That's not something binary like the ozone. We have no idea if there would have been more violence had past events been different.

Covid is another example. We significantly decreased the number of deaths through a worldwide effort of isolation and wearing PPE, which made it seem as less of a concern.

Nobody is pointing that out because you are engaging in conspiracy theory and you have no evidence for your claim. It's not obvious because it's not true. It's annoying how much wishful thinking exists around this. It's

Why would AI need all of that to acquire drones? Why wouldn't it just buy them? Or steal them? It seems like you're forgetting that AI can use humans as tools for its ends. But if it did need all of those things, then it probably

I think many of them probably believe the chance is closer to 100%, if artificial super intelligence is created. But they don't want to sound crazy, so they limit themselves to saying "> 10%". It seems to me like demanding

Part of the point in all this is that we can't predict what an ASI would do. All we can say for certain is that we would not be able to control it, because that follows a simple logic that between two entities with differing goals, the

I think it's quite the opposite, and I'm glad this issue is finally getting the mainstream attention it deserves. I can kind of understand someone seeing a single headline, and thinking it reads like the rantings of a crazy person

All the problems with human behaviors in the US also exist in China. They exist everywhere.

It seems pretty clear to me that AI is interpreting and understanding the prompts it is given. Otherwise it would be pretty useless.

Honestly, this seems like a personal pet peeve of yours. You have a bias against machines and place biological processes on a pedestal where they don't belong.

This explanation is only plausible if you ignore the details of what happened, or I guess, if you don't believe the details. Either way, it's baseless conspiracy theory, and it's very annoying and unfortunate that some people

This only works as long as the humans building things are smarter than the AIs. When AI is smarter than any human, there's no controlling it. It will be able to conceal its actions (as it has shown it has no problem doing in this repor

Mass genocide happened plenty of times before the advent of computers, so I take issue with your assertion that IBM made the holocaust possible.

A lot of knowledge and truth can be quite disappointing. I do think shielding oneself from truths and knowledge probably would make someone more happy. Think about it - do you think you would be more happy knowing the darkest thoughts and a

How do the salaries of administrators at such hospitals compare to for profit hospitals? How do they compare to non-medical institutions of similar size? Without a lot more information, your statement doesn't mean anything.

Why are you even bringing up GDPR? The law requiring cookie banners is a completely different law. Have you not seen a cookie banner? You think all these huge companies with legal departments are just misreading a law? What are you even ok

If this were true, it would be great, but in my experience, paying for a subscription just emboldens companies to collect more data

What are you looking at? Economic data shows real wages have trended up over the last 40 years, at least in the United States. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

You're painting this as some sort of hypocrisy but I don't think that's the case. AI has infinite legitimate uses outside of creating slop. Lots of tools are used in the creation and distribution of slop - do we criticize all
