    And monkeys could fly out of my ass. Before we start hand wringing about AI someone would probably need to actually invent one. We’re probably closer to actual room temperature fusion at this point than we are an actual general purpose AI.

    Instead of wasting time worrying about a thing that doesn’t even exist and probably won’t in any of our lifetimes, we should probably do something about the things actually killing us like global warming and unchecked corporate greed.

    Large Language Models are nothing but very advanced regurgitation machines. That’s the AI these articles are hand wringing about - not a real Artificial Intelligence.

    These articles remind me of the bitcoin articles we used to see.

    Shit i dunno, everyone dying the same instant doesnt sound so bad. Quick and painless is certainly better than the options most of us face ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    As long as AI doesn’t go around financing wars around the globe and sanctioning opposing or outright bombing them, I’m fine with it.
