You're right, but We'll get what we deserve when it comes to that.
The one thing the greedy tech bastardizers have never been able to do is shut down, not for lack of trying, the benevolent open source and human knowledge belongs to the world movements. The seven seas are still free and the most motivated thinkers are still the open source ones, matey.
They have nothing that isn't already being extrapolated and tinkered with on private servers. If they use the soon to come AGI to make the peasant's lives even more bleak, they might not like the damage in kind that can be done with some militant engineer's homebrew anti-cap AGI. What could that do? Engineer a plague? Mass delete banking records? Who knows but it's increasingly likely we'll find out!
If wealthy "winner" humans continue to insist on making most humans live's increasingly desperate, solely because they are never getting richer fast enough and without regard to the concept of Mutually assured destruction, then our species will have to experience the inevitable consequences of that choice. They have the capital, so its on them.
What's even worse, a lot of people are going to get what just a handful deserve
It’s just a movie, relax.
Staphylococcus kills thousands of people every year, this is a good thing.
We have PLENTY of negative places you could go here on Lemmy that really really hate all things futurism and technology, please try to save your dooomerism for those places, we just literally don’t have many positive spaces left and it’s so frustrating to come from the good news of the article only to see silly comments like yours that make it seem like we are all going to die because AI found a way to help us.
Sorry, you seem to have lost the thread. We're talking about scary things that happen movies, not current daily real-world issues which could really use our focus but we're to involved in the media.
Focus on the media, join our ignorant dance.
There is a massively conservative movement lurking in the left, which opposes any new advances and wants people to return to subsistence farming and shit. Same kind of people that argue against having kids to gut the population worldwide
Those people aren't even worth arguing with. They're not the people that will show up to do any work to accomplish policy objectives. They aren't serious, their objections will never be listened to, and they don't actually want to make anything better.
It's just tradwife-homesteader fantasizing, just with a different economic view and less (but not 0) racism.
Maybe things will work out for the better. Maybe they take over. Worst case scenario I blow my fucking brains out so i don't have to live though the apocalypse.
I'll roll those dice.
Same!
Either way, It's main event time and we're both fortunate enough to have tickets! I'll even stay for the apocalypse and see how I do, to a point.
I look at it as the AI we build is humanity's child. It will outgrow us. And we will age out and die.
On a cosmic scale, an AI can operate in ways humans never could.
Even if you use the augmented humans path, eventually, all the human will be augmented out of existence until only the AI is left.
and, like many peoples parents, imma fucking kill myself.
You can't unopen Pandora's Box.
In this case I'm glad. We are close to achieving the technology to let technology self-iterate and propagate.
The direction our species chooses to apply this technology will be a reflection and measure of who we are with commensurate rewards and/or consequences.
Will some voices of sanity let us harness the power of this atom to enlighten the world? Or will we follow tradition and use our newfound power to make big boomie boom rival tribe over there, yet again?
I'm just glad I can mess around with it at home and it's not all locked up. People resisting Ai don't seem to realize it's not only here forever, but it's quickly going main stream.
I mean, honestly, probably the latter, BUT this time, the atom gets a say too.
You, I like you.
Honestly I'd be surprised if we didn't do both with it
