AI is going to be a bigger deal than the extinction of the human race due to infinite amounts of corporate greed?
You think there is something MORE pressing than literal extinction? That’s quite something
Yes, because the extinction of the human race due to a catastrophic AI scenario could happen even sooner than climate change could kill us all.
That’s ridiculous. How would that even happen
It’s not unrealistic for a dipshit fascist to put an ai in charge of a nuclear arsenal and for it to destroy the world because of a passing red balloon. That said, the ai is quite a few steps down the line of things that need to be delt with in that chain.
What, is the AI going to dump a trillion tons of carbon dioxide into the air to cause a catastrophic runaway greenhouse effect, making huge swathes of the earths prime agricultural regions uninhabitable and forcing hundreds of millions of people to flee to other countries, emboldening fascist movements that seize on the fear of migrants and the strain on local resources, while increasing heat means more frequent super storms that destroy infrastructure while much of the global coasts are submerged, crippling international trade and driving famines and resource shortages on critical goods like medicine?
lol AI (even if we get anything approaching AI) will be in the hands of capitalists. they’re the ones to fear. hell doesnt come from outside, stop with this nonsense. we already have hell at home.
You don’t know what the terms you’re using even mean. We have AI. We don’t have AGI or ASI. Since you don’t even know what those terms mean, it’s pointless debating you.
Yeah this isn’t a debate, this is us making fun of some nerd who is absolutely CHUGGING that snake oil.
Good luck with your future, bud. Thank you all for letting me know hexbear is a toxic fucking place.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Don’t worry, there’s no computers inside it so you don’t have to be scared of an AI closing it on your fingers
Have fun with your future driving a flying car to the nutrient farms administered by the great omni-mind!
