Mastodon culture seems pretty anxious about infectious disease and pretty relaxed about where AI is going.

I’m the inverse so that makes me a Mastodon contrarian. (Actually I’m not that relaxed about ID, just used to it.)

@jgordon “relaxed” is one way to put it. “dismissive simply because of the combined weight of sneers over not-all-that-relevant questions” is the vibe I get. “groupfeel” is a helluva drug, and the group dynamics stemming from who self-selected onto Mastodon seems like another jump in the long-running trend of siloization

@jgordon It makes me feel quite uncomfortable thinking about how AI can be misused not only by businesses but especially by criminal elements.
And I’m afraid the day will come sooner than we think. If it’s not already here.

@SpiderOfMars Not to mention … as a war weapon.
