I understand that no one can over power you unless you give in to it. However, I don't believe this is what we are trying to advocate here.
Political agreement to control nuclear power started when we saw collectively the dire consequences of it — crossing my fingers it will stay that way. But the innovation of AI, super intelligence, is too fast without brakes, no guard rails, no safety net.
I am not against AI, I believe it is useful. It has its purpose. I also believe that AI like any other tools, it can be used to change lives for positive or negative. But it does not mean you become completely ignorant of the possible catastrophic power it can have if we are not careful. This is not your doomsday conspiracy, it is already here. Otherwise, these creators of AI would not come out to warn us. You do not give Swiss knife to a kid and we are doing just that. 🥺 I'd suggest make time to listen to the podcast and let know your thoughts.

btw, did you watch or listen to the podcast? It's what the note is about.
could I ask what made you believe that ALL of the AI creators are 'deluded materialist'?
Are you referring to the AI god fathers or the silicon valley creators like openAI?
I can see plenty of generalisation in there and I wonder where it is coming from? I'd be keen to know.
Lastly, so what do you suggest we do of the dangers of AI? Or do you NOT believe that AI does not pose a threat at all?
correction: I meant, do you believe if AI pose a threat to humanity? If yes, what do you suggest? If no, what made you believe so?
I am curious of your thoughts. ☺️
I’m thinking more of how life for those with the access to the compute will differ to those without, if progress for those people is exponential, along with steady decline for those without I foresee violence.
I can be zen and pretend it’s all in my mind but history often shows a different outcome when the general population is majorly stressed.
It is what it is.
Low-end models for "the compute" are coming out with lesser and lesser hardware requirements. Granite-4-350M is surprisingly adequate.
I foresee political violence, too, its already happening at the margins, but I don't think AI changes the dynamic. Maybe a slight acceleration if those middleclass sinecures start popping for realz.
