Ex-Google Officer Speaks Out On The Dangers Of AI - Mo Gawdat - E252

Can we build AI without losing control over it? - Sam Harris TEDSummit Banff, Canada, June 29, 2016

 

[cosmicway 1,333]

If we give the nuke codes to AI I don't know.
But this is a material world.
AI without limbs to move around can't do much.
In the form of robots maybe, I don't know, but are humans going to allow this ?
Incidentally what was the title of that film where a group of soldiers go to another planet to put down a robot revolution and they find a little boy who they thought was human and then the little boy turns out to be a dangerous robot and then all the soldiers are massacred by the robots ? Must be a 2000 film. I saw that on tv years ago but not from the beginning so I don't know the title.

However with AI as I have already explained the state will acquire ultimate economic control and they will grab everything we got, from Beverly Hills mansions to pennies.
The communist parties of the world have no idea and in the future they may well even fail to win a single seat in local elections but communism is being introduced through the back door.

Bit different from a load of nob heads sat in a room bobbing up and down like a arcade machine to a country going nuts, smart arse.

WARNING: ChatGPT Could Be The Start Of The End - Sam Harris

WARNING: ChatGPT Could Be The Start Of The End - Sam Harris

 

Internet can't die.
It has changed our lives dramatically.
Think of this:
A sports paper announces a competition some time in the sixties and the question is "have Wolverhampton Wanderers ever won the English league".
What do I do ?
Take the bus to the centrum - 15 minutes if there is no traffic.
Walk the distance to the British council library where they have Rothmans football book - 10 minutes.
Find the answer - 2 minutes.
Walk to the bus stop back home - 15 minutes because for the other direction it's a bit further.
Travel home - another 15 minutes say.
That's almost one hour.
These days there can be no such competition of course, but to find the answer I need 20 seconds.
But suppose I was out of town, somewhere in the country - it would remain a mystery to me forever.
No, internet cannot die.

The internet wont die, but it will change fundamentally.


The good thing is, we have lives through multiple iterations of the internet. I am old enough to remember how different it was even this century before social media took over.

What is more realistic is that AI will kill a bunch of jobs. Fields like technical writing, web development, quality assurance(code testers), copywriting, and even business consulting are in the firing zone of being replaced. This will fundamentally change the global economy. You are already seeing ripples of it in Big tech. Back when I graduated from College ~10 years ago you could literally apply for a software engineering job the week of graduation, and the next week walk into an entry level job that was paying 60k back when average household income was 50k. you were middle class from the start. Now? These poor kids are entering a saturated field and going up against machines that can easily take away jobs from many. AI programs very well so when we used to need 10 or so undergrads to work on a system we can hire 2 and use AI to make up the difference. Same story happening in design, writing, data entry...ect.

Prices are going up too.

AI will not enter data/technology industries for a very, very long time. If ever.
