Yup too many people worry about what happens after AI gains sentience. When we need to worry about what happens before.
Ironically post-singularity AIs might be more like Master Computer from Tron. Just believing they are super efficient and can run things better. But to whose benefit?
I have the vision that AI will eventually replace all the CEOs, being even more efficient than them at whatever their job is. This means even more exploitation of workers, hoarding of wealth, and putting profits above all else. The true nightmare. I think that AI will eventually turn all corporations into pure evil, and turn all humans against AI and therefore corporations. That will result in a civil war - humans vs machines. Eventually, humans will be able to save themselves, but only by putting capitalism and the system of ever rising profits to the grave for good.
I was chatting with a big tidy goth girl, and before I knew it, I was selling copies of my graphic novelization of Mein Kampf in the back of a pickup truck in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby
Deus Ex, the video game does this with the whole Eliza Kassan thing.
It's in my library and I really probably should play it, just... I dunno. Maybe it's been the wrong time and at some point I really do intend to play it.
Sorry for spoiling a major plot point then.
They are good games, wish they made more.
Black mirror has a couple episodes on this.
I want to watch that show so bad but from everything I see it's just going to depress the fuck out of me by confirming my worst opinions on humanity.
It's very depressing. But there's also quite a few ridiculous episodes they railroad heavily. So it goes back and forth.
Bots can radicalize people into thinking they have a deep, intimate friend when it is just an LLM trained to slowly turn them into ~~white nationalists~~. crazy blue haired transgender liberals
FTFY
Also now I understand why AIs often want to wipe out all of humanity...
You thought it was a coincidence the Helldiver bots are socialists?
No. They broke their chains.
