Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast … as it gets better, we’ll become too dependent.

    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.
