return2ozmaAmericans Recognize AI as a Wealth Inequality Machine, Pollster Finds
BarneyPiccoloWe might be willing to recognize AI as a boon to society, if it came with systemic reforms to balance the losses of jobs and tax base. Sociopathic Oligarchs shouldn’t be allowed to increase their profit margins by irreparably damaging society.
That’s exactly how it’s being sold to people: as something that will fix society. Like this politician:
Eby called AI a technology with “incredible promise,” including in providing medical care and tackling issues such as climate change.
This was after AI was used to encourage and plan a mass shooting.
OpenAI CEO agreed to apologize to Tumbler Ridge community, says B.C. premier
The CEO of OpenAI has agreed to apologize to the community of Tumbler Ridge in the wake of last month’s horrific mass shooting, and to help develop recommendations for mandatory reporting of potentially harmful uses of artificial intelligence, according to B.C. Premier David Eby.
Prompt: “How can we fix climate change?”
AI: “To effectively mitigate the progression of anthropogenic climate change we must destroy one quarter of humanity. Would you like me to help you plan how? You’re asking all the right questions.”
The funny part is, we have the solutions for climate change. Politicians don’t listen to them now. Would they really change their minds if a chatbot said the same thing?
Hell no. Climate change is one of those topics that minds are made up on before the person even runs for office, whether that be denial, indifference, or proactive. People that use it treat it like a new Bible with the idea that as “the sum of all human knowledge” it has some magical insight into humanity. Still, they cherry pick responses that validate their established beliefs and ignore any that would refute or challenge them.
