If anything we should try to use AI to help fight the menace. It appears the powerful are the ones farming the AI fear. And their only motive would be to keep us from using it against them. Or at least not to defend ourselves against them.
The insanity is off the charts. And we're expected to keep functioning like nothing is wrong. Seems like virtually everyone is falling for the AI doom story. Thanks for all you do, Jim.
The part of this absolutely insane fuckery that fascinates me most, is the fact that IF the AI revolution somehow leads to massive human death and destruction, AI won't be to blame. Rather, the megalomaniacal, billionaire pieces of shit who created it to be capable of killing us all by choosing to remove every guardrail and allow it access to critical infrastructure, THEY will be who killed us all.
Wanna know how we could solve it real quick? We could go round up every one of those billionaire pieces of shit and the politicians they own, strip them of all their wealth, assets, and power, throw them on one of their space rockets, and launch them on their own one-way trip to be the first humans to colonize the sun.
Then, we take all that newly acquired wealth and redistribute it equally among the masses. We take public ownership of their businesses and bring in whole new slates of employees, train them, unionize them, and then let them further revolutionize the technology with proactive security measures and safety being first and forefront.
In short, AI is NOT gonna kill us all. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Dario Amodei, Donald Trump, Howard Nutlicker, and every other billionaire on this planet is gonna kill us all. Let's just nip that problem in the ass now...
As it stands, there are humans - and some very, very evil ones - behind every algorithm and prompt. I don't care what the AI companies are boasting about to inflate their already ridiculous valuations, there is not (yet) any such thing as an autonomous agent. It's not AI that will kill us, it's the maniacs controlling it and they're doing a very fine job with or without algorithms and prompts, Jesus-take-the-wheel.
I’m a bit confused on the putin control factor given putin sits on a throne of corn stalk ready for a Molotov ignition . I’m not a geopolitic expert or amateur, simply a pedestrian with some academic credentials from 50+ yrs ago. Many things are entirely different while human nature seems static. Russia is teetering further to economic collapse of the civilian sector. I follow Prune on BlueSky & indicators show diffuse financial aneurysms accruing & ripening. Bleeding with no secure resupply & no domestic resources or reserves. The persistence of this unholy alliance baffles me. What’s the glue holding it together? American naval & bombardment power is thinned. russian army is down about 1.8 million soldiers with little working equipment. They’re both cheapskates so no reinvestment. It’s down to nukes? Who’s in charge? Does putin have trump under an old KGB trance? How does this make any sense at all. Russia is nearly on its knees. And they’ll be short on diesel…winter is coming. I know, let’s ask Claude!
You put your finger on it the other day. It's Pizzagate2. Vegas house always wins and yet people still gamble. I'm still hopeful,I can't say why I continue to hope, but I do. We are not the only nation on the planet coping and fighting back. Keep hammering the truth. Make it louder than the lies.

OK. I'll take a great depression instead of apocalypse.
Well, when you put it that way.... 😲
I thought the same thing about the congress recess.
We don’t need AI to kill us, this administration is doing a fine job of destroying us, all on its own.
