Yeah. It's some if statements and some loops but with CUDA and matrix multiplication

    Great; that describes all functions, so we've nothing to worry about.

    No no we still gotta worry about people in power allowing the worst possible use of technology at everyone's expense for personal gain..

    What specifically do you want the people in power to do?

    A very good start would be people not having that much power to begin with. Especially not if they’re not democratically elected representatives.

    But for the people in power we’re seemingly talking about (AI company leaders):

    • Not presenting AI as something mystical/mythical
    • Not turning AI into a product tailored to be addictive
    • Not framing AI as a tech only they can be trusted to keep and distribute (see also point 1)
    • Maybe developing the technology towards what gives most utility, not what earns them the most money (fat chance)

    I just want these AI companies to be held accountable for openly trying to hack everyone. It's ridiculous they're allowed to hide behind "AI did it, not us" as if what their product does isn't their responsibility.

    Think of it as a game, the players are corpo, and gov.

    Corpo hacks planet, gov says, "Hm, that's pretty bad corpo, we could hold you accountable.. but.. that's pretty neat, maybe share a lil with us how you achieved this terrible incident (that we totally don't want to leverage against international peers) and we can forget this happened.."

    A game of incentives.

    If the gov comes down too hard, they could slow the development, the same development that they short-sightedly want to exploit in parallel with the accused.
