Discussion/question Please someone explain to me (and not explain away) this doomsdaying rhetoric about AI.
While i dont think there is an actual physical danger like extiction to robots and etc bs. But there is more and more legistlative and industrial talk about slowing stopping of this whole AI thing.
I dont see clearly and actually noone is offering a coherent reassuring narrative.
Its either
1. the danger of too fast development and come the hakings, cyber security, privacy self replication issues
or
2 The problem of too slow development and having an other nation( dont want to point fingers) researching the “ai nukes”, killer robots etc.
I think the technocraty just spit in numbers like 10-20 percent of destruction, the politicians just worry of security issues or loosing the initiative but more importantly while everyone is telling we must go like hell, there is not a reassuring narrative that maybe we should just do something.
While i think its overly mediatised and maybe everyone exegerates there is possibility that the threat is real but there is noone who could say calm the fck down. Was the the 50’ s nuke paranoia like this? A kind of mindblowing thing that a semi science fiction scenario is unfolding and we dont have a fkn clue where are we. What we now is that a few tech giants lay the rules of the game and the government just stands by and tries to get the best from it instead of concieving SALT agreement.
Do you guys have some good source to actually get some educated opinion on the topic?
