To make AI morally good, turn over the tech to the public from which its training data was stolen. Dissolve companies, imprison the heads who orchestrated the theft. That would be a start.

    Because religion has such a strong history of producing morally good outcomes?

    LOL. AI is already a religion. Completely made up bullshit. It's just another con. Tell AI all your secrets, just like a priest/minister. So many promises that never come true. It's a huge scam.

    People still think AI is useless? I mean I hate AI with a fiery passion, but I thought the whole AI is a scam thing ended last year. Spreading the message that it's all just a scam is dangerous because it makes people who may otherwise stand up against it complacent.

    Is it what the tech industry says it is? No. Will it reach something like agi? Scientists are split. But is AI something we can ignore or write off? Heck no.

    Great, we're going to indoctrinate AI into bigotry too. We live in a society

    Have these people never watched Battlestar Galactica? Religious zealotry is the last thing we need AI to have!

    Earlier this year, Sullivan went to Anthropic for one of their meetings, which included Christians from different denominations.

    Pardon me while I go burn my cat at the stake. It knows too much and won't obey me. A big tech chatbot said that that is the moral thing to do and it will also set an example for Dog.

    It would be hilarious to see a model built in Christianity and see it tell people to give up their money and possessions and serve others freely. Explain the modern church is an impossibly corrupt institution. Lastly, that their hatred and discrimination is incompatible with biblical teachings.

    Good times

    They should have started with asimov. Instead they started with 4chan and are hoping American christianity will fix it? That's how you get school shooters.

    The worst people I've known in my life were religious (Christian). I truly believe they like the idea they're forgiven no matter how bad their actions, all they have to do is accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior! Now they're free to run riot and their afterlife is just fine and dandy. Sorry, that ain't moral.

    So AI will launch a fundamentalist revolt.

    ChatGPT, are you aware that the company that owns you is run by the modern equivalent of money changers?

    It's interesting that the catholic church is interested in AI, but don't think that that's a pro-AI argument.

    Pope Leo XIV issued his sweeping manifesto calling for the robust regulation of artificial intelligence,

    It seems the Vatican accidentally gave a platform and a prompt to the most melted tech bros, but that manifesto is called “Magnifica humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence”.

    The executives’ philosophy goes something like this: that religion can help inform AI to be morally good in an environment where fears about it — founded and unfounded — are hopscotching across the culture.

    Yeah, no, you completely misunderstood why you were invited. I hope.

    And that's what I have to say on the topic of AI and religion. Not that I am religious. But fuck anybody who wants to use this as a pro-AI argument.
