  • Wrong question.

    AI itself is neither good nor bad. It’s a technology, like knives and automobiles.

    It’s what people do with it: you can cook or stab someone with a knife, and you can go on vacation or plow into a bus full of children while drunk in a car.

    In the case of AI, a teeny tiny minority of use cases are noble things you’d want, such as cancer research, a larger minority is stuff that nobody wants like deepfakes, and a huge majority is stuff that people want, but that’s used to put people under surveillance or put them out of a job without any means of making a living.

    In other words, almost all of the potential good AI holds is squandered by late stage capitalists, who deploy it to make themselves richer at the expense of society as a whole and consequences be damned, rather than changing society for the better.

    I too regret buying a license for Grayjay now.

    It seems there’s just plain nothing good or innocent ever anymore. When you - rarely - find people or projects that seem worth supporting, they turn out to be tainted in some way or other and give you nausea.

    Even friggin’ Noam Chomsky, whom I held in high regard for decades, turned out to be one of Epstein’s pals.
