For sure, and I agree. But that isn’t what happens around here. Instead we turn to panic rather than skepticism. We are cynical more than anything.

Do you disagree that AI presents an existential threat to our current way of life, and that a new way of life may be worse, and that we should therefore plan ahead before plunging in?

I’m going to ask you something and please think about it. I have a belief that media highlighted these dangers in the same way the right wing media highlighted the dangers of immigration. If I look at articles, the framework is the same. The details are different, but it’s the same scaffolding. That puts my hair up.
So to answer your question, yes I think AI poses a danger. That doesn’t mean I don’t embrace it or look forward to it positively. I believe we need to push the other way. Embrace and seize it. Force awareness of it and force legislation or cultural views that puts it in a better place for these tools to remain open Source. We have to be the primary consumers to influence it.
