I keep saying every time I talk to my friends about AI development … we’re like trailer trash 17 year old parents that just gave birth to a genius baby who will grow up to be smarter, faster and stronger than us by the time it fully matures. We’ll teach it how to hate, to be short sighted, arrogant and want to make as much money as possible while disregarding every living thing and person on the planet.
And the thing is, I think the reality is even worse than that.
Current AI models aren’t going to lead to general AI, we need something radically different. Actual AGI is still so far away that I doubt mass-scale industrial society has enough years left before either the climate or some other human-caused idiotic omnifuck kicks the chair away from under it.
