What people said

All of the talk about "AI Safety" and "Effective Altruism" cannot be dismissed as BS. As technology has become more and more integrated into the very fabric of society, some dangers are very real unless we explicitly use Human standards of Morals/Ethics to regulate them. Of course this should be no excuse to go off into la-la land. From [LINK] Scholars discuss current risks from critical systems failures, bias, and AI enabled surveillance; emerging risks from technological unemployment, digital manipulation, and weaponization; and speculative risks from losing control of future artificial general intelligence (AGI) agents.

Do you seriously think that the people that brought you pfas + other plethora of toxins and their subsequent effects across many systems really care about the dangers of AI? Please, enjoy it while it lasts. What they really need is big fat alien dick to come dick slap them across the face and bring them back to reality. Because of course there will be negative "known unknown" consequences and "unknown unknown" consequences just like there have been consequences with the rest of the so called "goodwill" advancements. It's suicidal to think otherwise. Pretending there wont be is just their historically proven strategy to play down your fears. It's just part of the run of the mill PR management tactic. Nothing new to see here. Tis a good one: [VIDEO]
