Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

I voted no, and very excited about the possibilities.

DeepSeek just pulled the carpet from underneath the AI robber barons. Not only did they get the job done on pennies, they even bypassed Nvidia's CUDA bs.

The market is being busted wide open with possibilities right now.

The problem is someone will try even if 'we' don't.

While true, and amazing, it scares the crap out of me. The is some much potential for misuse and abuse that it boggle the mind, and I'm not a mind easily boggled.

As far as I see, it's just a millionth chatbot (for now).

There is so little advancements in wisdom compared to technology... Playing catch up when a problem arises doesn't always work

What you may not be aware of is the remarkable cost of entry for the above DeepSeek, it's cheap! And it's work well, so well that it's is genuinely scary.
What's even scarier is that MI5, NSA, CIA and TSR all had access to this kind of thing more than a decade ago. Let that sink in... And no, this isn't Tinfoil-Hat crap..

That's cool... But it's still just a chatbot. I see it as of little to no use.

Until AI isn’t retarded we have nothing to worry about.

Thant being said, there is nothing from keeping someone or a government from creating a normal looking item from having starlink internet, an explosive device and the ability to move when not observed get into secure areas fed by AI.

Or from AI assisted terrible bots from using peerless VOIP to call your number since it’s on a website for the non profit you chair…..

car warranty
IRS scam
In debt
Police donations
Firefighters donation
Etc

It's just a chat bot ...
It's going to end the world ...

No, it makes accurate worksheets for my Junior high classes I teach. It assists me in my corpus projects, that otherwise would take half my lifetime to do on my own. It's a tool, that the everyday man should have access to. Let's calm down and get back to earth.
