Ooh, scary once again. First, let me give you some credit and take the description for face value: How is this omnipotent system going to be created? By humans who err? By current LLMs which dream up names of libraries and functions? And most importantly, how is it going to become capable of manipulating "anyone to do anything" when even "I" do not always know what it is going to take for me to do some arbitrary X, and this is true for almost all humans, save sages/buddhas etc (can't deny they are possible, so count them as existing)?

Your proposed threat looks like a conspiracy theory. Some of them have proven to be actually true, and this is no reason to believe anything

My monkey brain keeps hearing of non-linear progress, and things keep staying here:

Besides that, since you insist on being fearful: why AI of all things and not a handful of rich assholes who actually make our lives hard every damn day?

I didn't read it that way. In this case - yes, we most definitely should

Oh, that I can, and thank you for your message, really. With that said, here is the differences: cars did work as a transport, and AI as it is marketed (magic replacer of all) does not, and even in the narrow use case of programming - no, it does not. It can produce heaps of lines of code, it cannot do the work of building a reliable software that does what is required of it. It has also failed to replace artists. So no, I am not afraid

And here I thought to have heard the funniest joke you can make. Farming. With current climate change dynamics. If I could do that, I would rather do something funnier, like bets.

And about who would be where: if Lemmy still stands ten years after, chances are I will be here too. But I feel safe to count on "bubble has burst, it's in the news. How ya feel there" within a few years. Will ping you for sure

Here ya go: in US someone has the audacity to ask people to use less water so that AI can function. Yet the whole city has been growing in population just fine for quite some time. A mystery, right?

Ooh, scaary. Wake me up when I get my unemployment certificate

There are people for whom this is news? Cheesus chroist
