How people think AI is going to kill them: terminator robots.

How AI is actually going to kill them: by destroying their habitat and drinking all their water.

@aral In any case that means these LLMs are being used for something they were never meant to do and aren't ready for prime time.

@aral will be used to justify crimes against minorities as well, after all AI said it was best from some opaque utalitarian–inspired reasoning disguising racism, seksism, ...

Johanna Janiszewski

@aral you need to make another one where its badly paid humans under the hood 😅 (for clarification: youtu.be/huu_9rAEiQU?si=ZAC0-V)

@JohannaMakesGames @aral the main problem is well described by Ed Zitron. Humans under the hood are very bad but are not the main badness about ai.

@aral the greatest trick AI ever pulled was creating the cultural perception that it would be the „slaving machines“ that kills us, instead of the indifferent wills of the money-men who built the machines…

And of course, now they keep recycling the same fears with classism and racism.

And so many sci-fi writers have been blatantly uninformed and ignorant Ito these issues throughout.

@aral No time travelers will come back and kill him because we only have like 10 years left

@aral And by polluting all the information they need to prevent it from happening.

@aral

And "assisting" internet searches, so we know we should eat:

- petrol in our spaghetti sauce
- glue in our pizza cheese
- rocks
- those mushrooms that melt down your liver

@aral I’m prepared to bet people have already been killed by AI giving them really bad advice. But your story is so much worse.

@aral Also terminator robots on top of that if you live in Middle East or Africa.

Bob Jamieson

@aral And by inducing people to hate and murder each other by feeding them misinformation as "news" or in search results. Can we rename AI as AS: artificial stupidity!

@aral
I Believe in the end AI can be more subtle than we can detect. Think butterfly effect like a traffic light takes a few seconds longer and a country collapses.

BS hyperbole.

Techonlogy develops all the time and the AI resource demand is going down.

OR, is it like #Bitcoin where the resource price is the bottle neck throttled by Bitcoin price? 🤔

@aral
But first AI will take away all viable employment

Mireina

@aral so funny how people think like that

@aral

Don't count out the killer robots. They are coming along nicely. Just because they will be deployed by humans and not by SkyNet and won't be self-replicating doesn't make them not a threat.

All those "human in the loop" systems are being developed with the knowledge that it would be more profitable to take the human out of the loop at some point. Palantir drools about it.
