AI doesn’t need to build Skynet to destroy humanity. There are more insidious ways. Less obvious. More harmful. It isn’t clear that AI will provide a net benefit to society. Even if it does, it is already obvious there will be a lot of harm.

I agree. I really don’t understand why society tolerates, let alone promotes and idolizes, billionaires, while median net worth remains below $200,000, and probably much lower in most of the rest of the world. I don’t think everyone should be forced to be exactly equal but the current disparity between median and Elon is more than 6 orders of magnitude, depending on the day of the week, and even to your average barely a billionaire it is more than 3 orders of magnitude. It’s excessive, and looking at how society is going, fairly clearly unhealthy for everyone involved.


To me it means: the kids are healthy and secure, and coping with the world with a reasonable prospect of a good future. But I agree that it’s a good thing that they aren’t entirely duped by the abusers of AI, if that’s what you mean.


AI is just one of several serious existential threats the kids will have to deal with. They’re far from alright.


Liability means very little in the context of networks of limited liability companies.


I get the 404 error on this page and with most links to removepaywalls.com. Disabling uBlock doesn’t help.
What is their definition of “poach”? They use the term in the headline, but it doesn’t appear in the article. Nothing in the article comes close to being evidence of poaching.
