Yeah, that is clear as day to me...Honestly, fear is what makes others react poorly and benefits corpo sleazeballs. Which is why I am trying not to be distracted by their stupid doom talk as this fucking chatbot is in no way powerful enough to doom the world. Only the economy due to irresponsible spending and investment, environment due to data centers, and breaking some minds of that will be future workers through too much chatbot LLM engagement. Some of it we can recover from, though some damage will need some serious measures put in place to heal from...

"All the Doom Talk is meant to distract us"...

...from how AI is going to kill us all? I feel like this is a distinction without a difference.

The "AI companies" themselves proudly claim their 'child' is "too dangerous" when they tell it to play save but walks right out of the door they "did not" left wide open with all the credentials they told it not to use hacking all kinds of 'unsuspected' systems.

*why are they heavily investing in solving math problems? The story that OpenAI wants you to hear is, this AI did this incredible thing, and it’s super intelligent. *

Sure. And not that the total cost exceeded about a hundred times the price money. And that it possibly have scanned the results of another researcher who asked AI for advise, in the hope it will not cause too much controversy.

Why are we spending so much time talking about this idea of AI that people have been talking about since the ’40s and ’50s?

Because Sci-Fi writers from that period, like Asimov and Orwell for instance, understood the dangers of autonomous rule observing emotionless servants. We actually had a World War teaching us that too, leading to the invention of the UN and UDHR for example... but somehow and for some reason we still manage to steer towards 'outsourced' control anyway (while under the impression it's a mere assistant for funny stuff).

Timnit Gebru argues that AI companies are stoking fears of extinction to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons.

It's the same thing. Just desensitizing the public by normalizing the talking points.

If the leaders of AI development are saying AI will make humans extinct in the next ten years, the immediate and universal response should be to restrict AI to heavily regulated and restricted research only. With cross monitoring by multiple governments and Guantanamo Bay level repercussions.

Unless of course its just bullshit.
