It's so nice to see these kind of posts. Because I keep thinking I'm the only one who thinks ai has turned incredibly evil and will only get worse.
“One Program to rule them all, One Program to find them, One Program to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.”
Don't worry, the Internet keeps telling me that AI is a useless stochastic parrot that hallucinates everything it says anyway.
Both of these things can be true. It still works if it occasionally throws a few innocents in front of the bus.
Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.
Mate, where do I even begin here.
People have different opinions.
AI can make horrifying mistakes and still on average do its intended purpose. If you catch 90% murderers and 10% innocents, that is apparently good enough for quite a few governments.
You literally just said you held both.
Alright, have a nice day
Hold on, let me adjust that fedora for you
