    MOAR PROFITS!

    I just feel that more focus on profit generation and the pursuit of growth without a solid foundation may be driving the current concerns. While it is essential for companies to generate profits, it’s equally important to ensure sustainable growth and long-term value creation. It remains to be seen how the market will react to these challenges, but it is crucial for investors and companies alike to prioritize responsible and strategic decision-making rather than short term continued growth.

    We’re going to drive ourselves into the ground.


  • While the idea of AI desiring the same things we value most may sound alarming, it is important to remember that AI systems are created and controlled by humans. The notion that AI could pose a threat to our happiness and well-being by coveting our jobs, spouses, and dreams relies on the assumption that AI will have independent agency and consciousness similar to humans.

    However, current AI systems are designed to perform specific tasks and lack true self-awareness or desires. They operate based on algorithms and data, without possessing personal motivations or emotions. AI’s role in various industries is to assist and enhance human capabilities rather than to supplant or compete with them.

    Moreover, the concerns raised in the article can be addressed through responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. Ethical guidelines, regulations, collaboration between stakeholders, and education on AI’s capabilities and limitations can help ensure that AI is aligned with human values and serves as a tool for the betterment of society.

    It is essential to distinguish between science fiction scenarios and the realistic trajectory of AI technology. By focusing on responsible and transparent AI development, we can harness its potential while minimizing the risks associated with misplaced desires or unintended consequences.

    Idk…there is too much in the world to be pessimistic about. I feel like AI isn’t one of them. But as soon as they stick AI into that boston dynamic robot and give it a gun I’m going to be on the other side of the fence.
