For years I've been hearing that "One day AI will be smarter than humans and we'll all be doomed."

"Nonsense," I said. "AI is very stupid, and not getting noticeably smarter." And I was right.

But I didn't think about the fact that there were two ways that prophecy could be fulfilled.

@cholling AI doesn't hurt anyone. AI has no malicious intent.

Billionaires hurt us and want to enslave us.

Guns don't hurt people, people do.

Hurt people hurt people.

AI tech has become a stick to beat people with but the reasons remain the same.

@srfirehorseart @cholling Taking away their current stick helps short term, but ultimately they will keep picking up more sticks until we make them stop.
Because they will never stop themselves.

Yes, because billionaires don't value empathy, compassion or any behaviour that doesn't directly benefit themselves.*

They also won't accept therapy for their anger at the world.

Unfortunately Western society rewards their selfish behaviour with more power and money, so they'll never feel the need to stop.

*I.e. Narcissists
