government already manipulates everything, so if anything you should be hoping AI moves as fast as it possibly can, it might be the only chance for human survival. maybe sci-fi got it wrong. maybe humans have a tendency towards destruction and eventually will have nuclear war (Ukraine/Russia stuff is bringing us closer and closer to that), maybe we need super advanced AI to save the species.

I say, let the AI companies run wild, lets toss the dice baby.
Not all tech is good tech especially when it's weaponized.

I can never decide between the "could it get any worse?" and the "it can always get worse" statements. It doesn't help that every media depiction of powerfull AI's is a terrible dystopic world, be it books, movies or whatever, it's always a nightmare on one form or another.
I'm an old skeptic and firmly believe it will get worse sooner than we may realize.

I agree, but I don't think it will come from AI, it will come from mass famines due to crop failure.

Thankfully I live in the Midwest where we have plenty of farming and livestock so if it happens it won't hit us first. Due to my current medical issues I don't expect making it another 10 years anyway.

Yay more machine learning chat bots that can form grammatically correct sentences... But who don't understand context and frequently dispense false information.

Yes because the government colluding with big tech in order to suppress free speech isn't big deal .... said no American ever.

I think me and you have different definitions of AI. If an AI was truly AI like ChatGPT7 ends up being super advanced, it won't be able to be controlled, it will be smarter than everyone combined (even downloading itself without permission to everyone's PC/Phone). So good luck government.

I think instead of calling your version of AI, you should instead call it machine learning and algorithm advancement.

That's not the end game.

but that's how they are talking about it in this particular thread, in which case we need clarify terms.

Social media was weaponized by Musk, Alphabet and Zuckerberg. All tech gets weaponized, and most dont even want to see it. Forget the government man, the real power struggle happens in the conmercial space and presents a far bigger threat.

Its about control of information and corporate is all in with no democracy or trias politica to protect us.

How did Musk weaponize social media when he was the one who exposed US govt. - big tech collusion.

The one to fear is the USA government that control all medias and social medias with propaganda, deleting of news and hidding information. This is the biggest evil on the planet

Is it just me or is it really weird to write a short article about Musk venturing into AI, but not even mentioning Elon Musk's call to put a stop on AI development for at least half a year - less than two weeks ago?

Attention. Its narcism, everything else is secondary. Fits right in with Bezos, Trump, Putin, etc.

Lets agree to disagree :) That 3% of the worlds population in top wealth isnt government though...

In my country we have many such politicians, I would not think twice about replacing them with a non-corrupt chat-AI.

feeding the ego is indeed the most dangerous thing a man can do, as the ancient philosophers warned several times.
