All of that is because the incentives are coming from those with the most power/money who are the most psychotic cancer cells in the history of the world. You're only aware of such a tiny sliver of it because that's the most problematic and gets the most news. Those are all huge problems that need to be solved, but the cause isn't AI. AI is just an accelerant for a sick hypercapitalist society that is doomed to collapse. AI itself has been used for millions of great things that improve all of life on earth, but in the hands of these psychopaths it's just being used for the ultimate triumph of Capital over Labor, at the expense of literally everything else on earth.
I had, like, a bunch of paragraphs lined up because I thought you didn't understand this. But as it turns out, you seem to be perfectly okay with the world being raped to death.
I hope your academic field is entertaining, at least.
...I work in earth science...
All those things being true is enough for me to hate AI.
Edit: As my dad says, One aw shit wipes away a million attaboys.
Do you hate the concept of iron alloy? Because it was used for hundreds of years in swords and weapons to kill millions of people. See how silly that sounds?
Iron alloy doesn't convince people they shouldn't have their noose visible in case someone might see it and intervene. You're not going to change my mind. Once the bubble is popped and all our lives get worse and 3 people control all the technology it's not going to matter that it saves people time, or it creates efficiency.
You're not um... you're not even reading, but ok. Keep living in your echochamber I guess.
Just because you don't like my points doesn't mean I'm arguing in bad faith, and I find it a little insulting that you're trying to dodge instead of responding to my point by insinuating I am.
No I'm saying you're not even trying to understand, you're just saying you don't like it no matter what. To that I said, ok keep living in your echochamber. I'm not saying that's bad faith, it's just not trying to reach truth.
