AI has had like 14 Chernobyl moments. Wasn't the US using AI to bomb Iran? That include a whole school of girls IIRC. And guess what? No one cares.

All of these articles are for ai companies. Ooh, look at our scary powerful ai's. We're defenitly super close to agi. Please giv e us more money.

Chernobyl blew up because they were dicking around with an unsafe design.

This analogue is very apt.

How about they stop building the torment nexus?

This take is a denial of current reality.

They're already using "AI" for genocide in Palestine, etc.

This is how capitalism always develops and uses "technology".

Delusional take. We, the people pretty much hate AI already. We hate how it‘s utilized against us.

Wait, so its not the actual event and ensuing casualties that have AI researchers spooked, but the fact that it might cause the public to turn against AI?

Are these "top ai researchers" real people?

This "AI is inevitable" mindset is the most rapey shit ever.

AI vibecoded nuclear plant. What could go wrong? You just need to add "no nuclear meltdown" at the end of the prompt.

I’ll worry about ‘AI’ when something that can legitimately be mistaken as intelligence is demonstrated.

In the meantime, these explosively imprecise, statistically luke-warm, grey goo extrusion sphincters need to be exclusively opt-in, and not forced on anyone who hasn’t explicitly consented to a lobotomy.

"Top AI researcher" I can no longer read those words without Doofy voice 😂

Probability of unhinged techbro bs is around 115%

The thing about Chernobyl was that it was, ultimately, an unwanted mistake.

The thing about AI is that the shitty mass casualty outcome seems like the intended outcome.

Was double-tapping a school not enough?

Top AI researchers should go fuck themselves right to hell for handwaving away and ignoring the inherent problems with their work while plowing ahead full steam so they can get personally rich.

That implies an actual AI when the truth is in current form human error using the tool behind it.

Personally I am more concerned by it will be used by design of the techbros who are pretty open in their desire to be rid of some of the masses. Supporting emerging wars just masks their part….for now.

It’s a probability machine, not actual intelligence. If it’s given too much power it’s bound to happen sooner or later.

That’ll happen when they turn over some piece of critical infrastructure or something over to AI. Power, stock market, something that will affect tens or hundreds of millions of people and wreck lives or even kill people.

Nonetheless these clowns will push for it because profit, and some fool politicians will OK it because campaign money.

No worries, it seems companies are very eager to make this happen sooner than later 👍

buttlerian jihad?

There is a key difference, that makes the genie impossible to bottle: People can run local AI on their own machines. Fans of nuclear power can't easily build nuclear plants in their backyard. A pity, the world could use more nuclear energy. 😔

Anyhow, I am looking forward to someday using frontier-grade AI on my PC. Just need the AI bubble to pop, so that I can afford the terrabytes of memory that would be needed to comfortably run it.

Sounds like what Alex Karp is saying to retail investors. A lot more people got killed by AI than by Chernobyl by the way.

Only a matter of time. We don't need to worry about Terminator and Skynet. We need worry about everything going from engineered to automated cargo cult slop. All run on massive datacenters controlled by a few mega corporation that everyone is hopelessly dependent on and can't imagine working without. The trillionaire owners of these mega corporations are hiding in bunkers waiting on one of coming calamities to happen, or just from us unwashed masses. While they buy governments and media to keep and increases their riches.

This future sucks. Can I try another one?

Edit: slopocalypse is the term

"turns the world against AI forever"?? It already has, you don't have to be a "researcher" to come to that conclusion.

The majority of the world is already against AI. These jackasses need to pull their head out of their ass and come up for air.

It could already be happening. The likelihood could even be higher than not.

It doesn't necessarily need to be a single event. There are already AI systems being sold in healthcare. Even pre-LLMs. Who's to say these system are being closely monitored and studied. There could statistically be patients who have died or been maimed who otherwise wouldn't if they had real human professionals instead of someone who used a system that was sold on the doctors office.

Already used in ukraine war, palestenian genocide rtc. See autonomous drones.

We should already be against AI but mainstream media and class consciousness are suppressed to serve our billionaire overlords
