you miss the point, the problem isn't the message in itself but signalling these from a moral high ground in a patronizing manner.

Nuclear weapons have a very tangible negative outcome which everyone can imagine. Existential AI risk has no meaning right now outside of a blurry vision of something like Skynet. The issues are not alike.

Sounds like you just got burned by using the same IP twice, but your point does stand. There's some interesting fingerprinting software out there, and I've personally seen compute on things like typing cadence and other more cland

How about news? Look at what Paris looks like right now with a small minority of "aimless youths" and multiply that by 1000x

>Arguable paints a different picture - that the AI in the hands of the masses would be too threatening to the status quo. That is 100% what the whole AI panic is about.

I disagree with the last part in your scenario. It's going to be waves of murder and anarchy, not depression and suicide

Whether or not the existential risk around AI is real, governments, corporations, NGO's and others will twist this to their own purpose to build censorship, entry barriers, and other unpleasantries. We should be mindful of that.

Can you provide some tangible examples of existential risk materializing?

Its a completely unproductive answer. Why do you assume a non-profit set up for a cause will predominantly exist to pay it's directors bonuses? Lets deconstruct the three options on the table: 1) for-profit private -> exists to make

any government system is too likely to be corrupted by politicians in relatively short timeframe

So why not a private non-profit instead of government?

Fake news is such a tired term. Show me "true news" first and then we can decide on what is fake news.

Fully agree. It's such a pain to Uber back and forth multiple times a day to Moscone (can never get a hotel close by since the prices are beyond insane during large conferences), plus that's about 100 USD of Ubering daily if you d

Capitalism is just a system where industry is own by private entities and is for-profit. Corruption or laws have nothing per se to do with capitalism.

I think it's not a margins issue - plenty of good money making machines doing this - but definitely a not-enough-competition issue.

The intent was not to take a stab at NASA but rather provide a dumb counterargument to the parent poster's immature rant which would still make more sense than his positioning. Juvenile and counterproductive in retrospect.
