[Scoops Novel]

Dodgy control seems very realistic to me in the face of new technology.

Novel your vision of the future must be terrifying and I'd like to know what grounds you base this vision off of.

Imagine how the Native Americans felt when a bunch of white people on scary animals the size of them with fire sticks showed up, covered in shirts that deflected the native's weapons.

They did write it as fiction though.

Hey, at least he hasn't been reading Lovecraft.

[Scoops Novel]

Who needs Lovecraft when you have AI?

[hector13]

AI isn’t Skynet, and there’s no evidence it ever will be outside of Hollywood.

The worst thing AI is going to be is an ethics issue.

[Scoops Novel]

Effective Altruism is a whole humanitarian institution which these days is pretty much focused on AI. There are whole research institutes dedicated to minimizing risk which are not optimistic. We already have a growing stack of AI fuckups. Come on.

Who needs Lovecraft when you have AI?

You n Lovecraft have plenty in common, like being afraid of literally anything.  Might disagree about how to name cats, at least I hope.

[hector13]

What do you mean, come on? You come on, guy.

Worrying about misanthropic AI is basically people being worried about the next step in human advancement, which has been the case since the dawn of history. Christ, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ug the Caveman was trying to stop his contemporaries from using fire or tools.

[Il Palazzo]

What has effective altruism to do with anything here? How is choosing the most effective charity to give resources to going to bring about Skynet, or universal prison break?
