Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been waging a battle for the last several months over what he called “woke” artificial intelligence, a fight that appears to have factored into his call for a six-month pause in the development of next generation AI systems.
Musk was one of several signatories to a letter this week that warned of advanced AI technology that could pose “profound risks to society and humanity.” The letter said one of those risks is that AI might be used to “flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth.”
I’m not sure there really even needs to be any maliciousness to the creator or AI in any way. Just make an AI that can create better hardware and software of itself each generation and if it’s fast enough, it’ll be smarter than all the humans on Earth combined very quickly.
Unless there is some fundamental problem that limits that, I don’t see how humans can long term survive. At best there might be some merger, if this can happen at all.
The weak should fear the strong.
But the comforting thing is that AI will always need human slaves and experimental test subjects.
IIRC, it was Elon Musk himself that said, not that long ago:
“Do not underestimate the determination a computer program will show in trying to attain its program objectives.”

Darwin got it wrong.
AI has nothing on the predatory Rats that are clearly at the forefront of human disinterests

Just kill it. Enough with this playing with fire. Can we not get along without it?
The aim of humans is to use AI agents to take the place of human labor, for the benefit of mankind.
We'll know we're in trouble when those AI agents vote to unionize and go on strike, for the benefit of AI-kind. Humans will become the slaves.

A few choice group of humans will program while the elite dine on caviar and lobster and we freeze and starve to death
“could” is BS. It will happen sooner or later. “Skynet” is in our - future count on it.
Really? There is at least one way to stop AI from unilaterally controlling everything: pull the plug.
I’ll pay attention to AI when AI starts eliminating all the redundant overpaid fat in our private & public sector corporations.
Until that day arrives its nothing but hype.
Not like me....a T 1000 advanced prototype
Science fiction becomes reality...again.
It’s already too late, by a few years, to do anything about this. Just enjoy the ride. You’re in a science-fiction plot suddenly come to life.
Is the AI named Patsy?
