Comment on The World Will Enter a 15-Year AI Dystopia in 2027, Former Google Exec Says

AI boosters and doomers fundamentally believe the same thing.
They collectively agree is that AI will be Great and Awesome, in the old sense of the words. In their minds they are building God and so it can bring about either utopia or dystopia, because it is so Great and Awesome that all hitherto history will cease to matter and the godmachine will recreate the world in its image.
AGI doomers, yes.
I wouldn’t reject the label “AI Doomer”, myself. But I don’t have a strong position on utopia/dystopia when it comes to AGI.
Mostly because I think it’s so far away, that there’s a real good chance that we bet the farm on something much, much dumber than AGI.
Like a fancy autocomplete.
And hook it up to something unforgivably dangerous.
Like nukes.
The role of the doomer is to declare that, actually, AGI is juuust around the corner. And it’s scary! They’re doing the same hype as the boosters are, just from a different angle. It’s all the same crap, though.
But, yeah, realistically they’re going to put a chatbot in charge of something important and it’s going to fail and the bubble will pop.
Hopefully it’s something small and not the nuclear arsenal, but uh, these cultists really want to put chatbots in charge of the nukes.

Our techbro leaders are so wise they can’t tell the difference between God and a statistical plagiarism machine.

Yep it's horoscopes for techbros. Come into it with unreasonable expectations and read whatever meaning you want out of it. Infinite validation machine.
