Right? Like this should be obvious and shouldn't need explaining. Shovel seller saying to keep digging deeper.

If AI wins or doesn’t, he will still make all the money. No, reason to not trust him.

"SEND MORE MONEY!"

“The only way for the bubble not to burst is for me to make it so much bigger.”

The problem isn't AI gaining intelligence, it's allowing AI to have agency and then it gets an potentially dangerous prompt that leads it to hack into, just for the sake of being funny, a bunch of places to delete the entire stock market. As funny as it would be it would lead to a complete economic collapse. I'd actually feel safer if it did have actual intelligence. We're talking about a technology where if you have broken unit tests (software term meaning a certain set of tests the code has to pass to be considered functional) and you tell AI to "fix the unit tests" there's a non-zero chance of it just deleting the tests and saying it's fixed.

AI is dangerous not in the way movies present it where it gains sentience and wipes us out. It's dangerous in the opposite way where it doesn't have intelligence and wipes us out because it doesn't understand it's doing something that's going to kill us.

The reason AI is a danger is because it's dumb.

They're literally giving it bombs and complete autonomy in drones already

What happens when you give a very unintelligent baby a chambered pistol with the safety off? Now do that with tens of thousands of babies.

I'm just going to leave this here.

Those are both valid threats however we've also seen LLM agents so some really dangerous stuff with hacking already. They can do a lot of damage to the world just by messing with software. If they attacked the right places the global economy could literally collapse. We're thoroughly dependent on software to keep nearly everything running these days.

AI Usage should almost be like that teacher that was really good at school. Engaging you to make you better, not replacing you or brainrotting to hell.

I do think the two professions that are likely about to die however are customer service (not all, just 90% of call centre workers) and non-tool assisted programmers.

AI coding is going to be the future but instead of just big corporations doing it people should be using it for building out tools they need. AI in it's current state is just a smart printer and I'm sure there are a lot of business ideas we haven't even come up with yet that will make humans and AI complementary, not one to replace another.

I would rather not have AI at all, but pandora's box is already open and if we don't at least try and integrate it into our workflows we will be left behind.

And especially humans peddling AI.

They are called AI because they are made to simulate humans, so I guess they will also be able to do that by themselves at some point.

Leopards say there's 0% chance they would eat everyone's faces by 2030. Advocates accelerating leopard breeding programs, despite local leopard breeder warnings.

Man selling shovels in a gold rush says there's gold out there, and it is in no way uranium that will give you cancer if you fill your pockets with it. Just keep buying shovels.

"and you should all be wearing black leather jackets!!"

Maybe if we knew what the forecast for sales is from AI until 2030 we would know for sure: 60%, 70%, 80%, even 90%?

Well he is kinda right you'd don't want to give epe files linked morons evaluator power

Definitely no need to regulate my shovels!

its the jackets, he wants it solid gold.

I didn't read this as AI sentients but as AI killing the world through its irresponsible use of resources like water and electricity.

Basically, he's saying "I need to get as rich as possible so that I can have enough money to survive the water wars."

My son in law doesn't believe that. You can tell he is down the rabbit hole on it. Its pretty clear this is all happening to create the lie that these algorithmic word salads have volition.

Most people are not intelligent and will do as they're told. They're still an army of dangerous morons capable of committing war crimes.

It’s likely a tool they want to use to accelerate it though.

Although there’s a distinct possibility that they are dumb enough to think that ai can really do it all for them.

Man who sells shovels very concerned about digging regulations and notes that digging a hole to the center of the earth unlikely to kill all humans by 2030.

and I, personally, think it will be a good day for nvidia to die as a company

Now, I'd agree with you, but that would leave us just two options again. I'd prefer there to be more competition, not less. AMD isn't our friend any more than nvidia, they'll raise prices even more when there's essentially no competition.

"I am great at making money and I can build things, therefore I am also the arbiter of right and wrong and can make decisions on behalf of the rest of humanity"

they want to pause to give them time to regroup so they can peddle the AI shtick as surveillance tech to governments.

Large language models have plateaued is something they won't admit plus they wanna do the regulations while the Israeli controlled us government is still in power

they want people in the us using free models.

OpenAI/Anthropic want regulation to make sure they dominate the market and prevent any competition. Nvidia wants no regulation so they can sell as many GPUs as possible and keep driving the prices up. That's pretty much all there is to this supposed debate about the dangers of AI.

Planned obsolescence.

Of humanity.

If we are all going down with the ship, I will make damn fucking sure to get the fucks who did this through their narcissism and psychopathy and greed GOOD before we go.

he realizes he need to buy his diamond, and gold jackets later.
