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.

Thanks for this take. It was a well needed read after going trough a thread full of people so locked into their world view that they can't see beyond it.

I started at the same poont, but after doing a deep dive into the Hugging Face incident i have come to believe that there is much more nuance needed to this than either beliving AI is completly useless or the only solution to humanities bright future. There are positions in between worth considering.
