Somehow, AI is going to be responsible for both dystopia and utopia. But the good news is we have 18 months to get ready!
So the US will enter not the rest of the world Jesus the arrogance when us media talks like every country = US.

Lol, you think the rest of the world won’t be fucked as well?
DeathToUS@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It won’t unless their laws are made in the imperialist nation which isn’t.
Keyboard@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I really don’t believe
Buffalox@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Oh he means a dystopia that is even worse than the one we are in now. 😬

I hope they tell us when it starts because I won’t notice otherwise
HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
Rich, coming from someone responsible for it.
squaresinger@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s an “Einstein and the nuclear bomb” situation.

How do you think he knows so much about it
FauxLiving@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah, well Google Execs also assured me that email would be replaced by Google Wave which has very good integration with the future of social media: Google Plus.
BD89@lemmy.sdf.org 7 months ago
And as soon as it did they would have just killed it and split every single feature into different apps and then kill those too.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
I found Google wave to be very cool; and given the workflow now, witb chats and email messages mixing and docs flying around, I see where they predicted we were going: all day at work.
They didn’t give it time.
FauxLiving@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah, I thought it was a neat collaboration tool. I don’t think it would replace e-mail (way too complicated for grandma), but it was fun to use while it lasted
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Artificial intelligence was not developed to usher in a dystopia, in fact it had a rather utopic mission. By further automating mundane tasks, AI has the potential to ease the workload of millions of workers worldwide in every job and field, potentially giving them back their precious time of the day without sacrificing overall productivity.
Yeah, good luck with that.
In reality, everyone gets fired, the rich get richertge poor get poorer and 99.9% of humans will live in a dystopia, if AI doesn’t kill us all.
Yet the AI bros go like “that won’t happen to ME though!”

Every business that fires their employees and tries to replace them with AI ends up hilariously screwed over by it. It’s not going to get to take over the world levels in 2 years.
Anyway I’m safe, the company I work for still use a software written in 1995 so I reckon I have until at least 2045 before they introduce any AI.

If we had a proper social safety net for all the displaced people, I’d be more open to it. But as things are now with rampant greed and a government for the corporations, fuck AI.

We are already living in the worst timeline I am sure it will continue to turn to shit.
ripcord@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This “timeline” stuff is weird. It seems like a cop-out that there is some alternative one we could shift to that is out of reach but we’re just unlucky or something.
This isn’t the worst or best timeline. It is just what is happening.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
First, I’m pretty sure quantum theory literally allows for what you just described (aside from the “shifting” part, though I’m not sure I agree that’s part of the expression).
Second, it’s just a way for people to try to cope with the horrors of our reality with a little levity. That’s it.

We can take action. We can grab the die that Joel McHale has tossed into the air.
TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Only 15 years? That’s pretty good.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Only because after 15 years the AIs will have finished exterminating the human race.
floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
That’s just for the AI capitalism hell. After that we’re just distracted from it by all the climate hell.
griff@lemmings.world 7 months ago
so the current dystopia doesn’t count?
balder1991@lemmy.world 7 months ago
If you think about it, the majority of the world population never knew anything different than dystopia.
floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
With Sam Altman the “OMG I’m so scared that we’re building something terrifyingly powerful” is basically marketing and hype. Probably the same with all these other AI execs.
artifex@piefed.social 7 months ago
it's just practice.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
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.
kibiz0r@midwest.social 7 months ago
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.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
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.

So…. What’s the plan for the next 18 months?
meeeeetch@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Their plan? Bring it about so that Rocko’s Modern Basilisk can torture the unbelievers (as if hearing their inchoate speculation about what the-computer-that-can’t-even-do-math-consistently will one day be able to do isn’t already torment enough).
These dumbasses have reinvented premillennial dispensationalism.
For the rest of us, I guess Butlerian Jihad is always an option.

It will be a cakewalk compared to the thousands of years of climate dystopia.
