@davidakaye.bsky.social

this hits for lots of reasons/laughs, but one serious/obvious point: these CEOs & their cults are the authors of the growing cynicism ag them & oppo to AI. they espouse convictions (AI risk) but have absolutely no intention of doing the obvious things in response.

Surprised anyone, really?

The cover-up is sometimes more telling than the harm itself.

@mattweiner19.bsky.social

great piece

would add that one big dange is The Powers That Be putting a system that *isn't* capable of running things in charge of it, and trusting what it does because it is The Machine God

the "the supercompetent AI will kill us all!" doomsaying makes that more likely, because Machine God

Most crucially, the real problem with this narrative is that there are real reasons to be afraid. Not in a “Skynet superintelligent AI turning on humanity in a sci-fi judgment day scenario,” but in the incredibly banal “as soon as the powers that be find AI models sufficiently capable to be put in charge of defense, weapons development and guidance (including bioweapons), and information, they will do it.” Smiling serenely and saying (correctly) AI is not super intelligent or sentient will not stop it from being used as though it is.Therein lies the real existential threat: not Skynet, but Shitty Skynet.
