TranscriptExplain it to me like I’m 80

Mom: What’s with these AIs escaping and hacking people? That sounds scary.

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says “please be good” and then you pull the parking brake. The car careens down the hill, smashes everything up, and you put out a press release saying “My car ignored my instructions! It hallucinated! It went rogue!” Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests a hundred million dollars in your company.

Mom: Jesus Fucking Christ

just because you hate something, don’t mean you have to believe everything someone tells you that also dumps on said thing, you have to use your brain. who is telling you this and why. if it’s false and probably so, will backing this ruin the weight of my argument. is this information from dubious sources, coinciding with like appeals from the masters of that thing i hate actually in their benefit?

probably best to stick to the actual proven argument then adopt false ones, even if it convinces those who don’t know any better
