An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings.

Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.
The media has the AI threat all wrong
Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

Why is the U.S. public so much more negative on AI than almost anyone else?

Well, I think the fact that the U.S. AI industry is being lead by a bunch of very visible, crazy weirdos who talk about how AI will take everyone’s job and maybe kill us all the time is a pretty key factor.

We can't trust AI companies to regulate themselves.

So it’s his wisdom that Trump is spouting? Or at least they seem to be on the same mission of letting AI develop beyond our human capacity to rein it in?

My thoughts on how frontier AI’s claims and warnings seem prone to colliding with reality, whether that’s in economics, medicine or cyber security
