    I don’t think you’re listening. Assuming all of that is true doesn’t make me want to stop fighting it with every breath. In fact its the opposite. The fact that this is just the pipedream of people who want to steal all your money just makes it sad.

      It’s unfortunately not that and there is a wider context here. I personally wish it was all flimflam or that the development naturally hits a roadblock. The problem is there’s no evidence currently to suggest either of those statements are true of the current approach towards AI. I’m saying this as a computational mathematics academic. I would much prefer for us all that you were right. So far though I only have reason to have extreme worries about what is happening and what is being built. There really should be a global armistice on AI development, but there won’t be.

          I have noticed a particular vibe here. I’m really into the mission statement of the fediverse and there’s not many other reddit duplicates on the fediverse. I get that there’s some sort of consensus here and that people generally dislike views aka will downvote people to hell the mob disagrees with. I do believe though there’s space here for differing opinions and amicable debate. It would be sad if it became just another lifeless echo chamber of a bunch of people who all agree with one another about everything.

          For the most part I’ve appreciated our discourse. Obviously we disagree and that’s alright, in fact it’s refreshing. I hope you feel the same.
