I’m growing increasingly terrified. And I don’t think I’m being melodramatic about it. This is required reading.

Over the Course of 72 Hours, Microsoft's AI Goes on a Rampage

I thought the AI story was bizarre last week, but that was nothing compared to this

The Honest Broker

My intent was misunderstood because I didn’t take the time to explain my fears. Let me be clear:

I’m not scared of the current state of #AI bots like #ChatGPT or the #Bing incarnation. I’m scared about the powerful profit-driven mega-corporations having any control over their future and the influence they will have over a population.

Not sentient now, no. Still capable of causing real harm even in their infantile state? Yes. What does 2030 look like, then?

@killyourfm I currently see three groups of "AI" tools:

- the ones we hear about on the news and in the media. Mainly showcases or technical demos.

- the emerging services or those already in tools we use. Think M365 Editor, Google Assistant, GH Copilot.

- the "industrial" tools, those that we do not see but automate server actions or manage bulk data.

I do not think that AI is a bad thing, but that controls and codes of practice are needed - possibly similar to open source licenses.
