Raw LLM Responses

to cry wolf that some vague, unspecified AI will murder us all in a vague unspecified future in a vague unspecified way is essentially deflection tactics to ensure Sam Altmans of the world get free pass at hoarding wealth and power. It's not the fault of the inhuman machine malice of ChatGPT that it is used to churn disinformation at frightening rates, it's the fault of OpenAI who assumed a business model of releasing tech without guardrails and oversight. It's not the "uncontrollable increasingly autonomous" superintelligence beyond human comprehension that makes deepfake abuse material, it's crooked humans using machinery, that was released or leaked from developers who prioritise short-term financial return off an investment into servers over ethical conduct. Ultimately it will be a human decision to allow any kind of AI into our critical systems, it will be a human decision to refuse to police anyone who cedes ultimate decision making to machines. I get that it's exciting to indulge in Skynet fantasies and get paid 1000s of dollars for it and I get these AI researchers may never again get this much spotlight. But in the end their critique of theoretical sci-fi villains is a somewhat desperate attempt at not critiquing the very practical and very contemporary capitalist order.
