According to CNN, “On Tuesday, hundreds of top A.I. scientists, researchers, and others — including OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and Google DeepMind chief executive Demis Hassabis — again voiced deep concern for the future of humanity, signing a one-sentence open letter to the public that aimed to put the risks the rapidly advancing technology carries with it in unmistakable terms. ‘Mitigating the risk of extinction from A.I. should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war,’ said the letter, signed by many of the industry’s most respected figures. … Perhaps that is because it can be difficult to come to terms with the notion that a Hollywood-style science fiction apocalypse can become reality, that advancing computer technology might reach escape velocity and decimate humans from existence. It is, however, precisely what the world’s most leading experts are warning could happen.”
Really? How the f*** did we go from the “miracle of A.I.” to the “end of mankind” in a few short months after ChatGPT (and the like) launched to the masses? Jesus-f***ing-Christ-on-the-f***ing-Cross! I can’t with the stupid! This is so f***ing ridiculous, and clearly, the MSM has nothing better to write about. I expected nothing less than the MSM to gin up fears of human extinct a la Skynet in The Terminator. Only morons of humanity rush to think we’re headed for the reality of some dreamed-up Hollywood fiction. Weren’t we supposed to be all killed off by the atomic bomb by now? Humanity will not end by bombs or A.I. Climate change is the real danger, but I guess those headlines have become tiresome. Death by A.I. is newer and flashier. Welcome to stupid humanity! Trust me. We don’t need artificial intelligence to kill us; our stupidity is doing it well enough alone.
