    All this AI doomer talk is pointless. AI isn’t the problem, humans are.

      I agree. It’s great to have machines do the work we don’t want to do so we can do other things with our lives.

      We just need to get over this mentality that those who have more deserve more and those who have less deserve less.

      Capitalism is the problem. Humans use language, learn and can change behaviour over time. We’re not pre-programmed automatons. “Humans are the problem” is doomer talk.

      Here’s the issue I have with your position… AI is such a generic term it’s difficult to have a fulfilling conversation using it but in my field a form of AI like machine learning is going to eliminate an entire sector of manufacturing… Boutique precision machined components have been thought as an impenetrable wall against AI but it’s basically the same lackluster defense used not long ago about Generative images couldn’t produce hands properly… It’s not a matter of if but when.

      Imo, the catastrophe happens when a successful AI scales. Or perhaps rather how suddenly a successful AI model will bury the existing system into irrelevancy. Boeing and most aerospace manufacturers have a machinist union but none of that will protect against a future where people are no longer necessary.

      I don’t think it’s wrong to have AI eliminate jobs but it shouldn’t come without warning. I think it’s rather forward looking to be monitoring ongoing AI projects and establish contingencies for folks who will become displaced by it’s rapid spread.

      i mean the global un is pretty good on it; it’s just that the larger world powers (especially the us every time they have a conservative who goes backward on it) tend to drag their feet on it

        I mean I don’t think it’s the UN’s fault they can’t get shit done about climate change, but I still wouldn’t use it as a model

    Given the amount of electricity training and running all these LLMs requires, they might, like cryptocurrency, become drivers of climate change as they cause polluting generators to be built or unmothballed.

    « creating an AI fund to back projects in these [poorer] nations, establishing AI standards and data-sharing systems, and creating resources such as training to help nations with AI governance. »

    So basically burn money and energy on some hallucinating algorithm should be as important as investing in green energy and reducing CO2 levels. That makes sense. Like, yeah, totally onboard. What could go wrong?

    I’d like to ignore it until it goes away too, but I don’t think that’s an effective strategy for either issue.
