     @pointlessone @rysiek I figure someone's gonna do it, and if it does decided to kill all humans, maybe it'll eat me first out of appreciation.

     @ryanc @rysiek And that’s, kids, how Skynet became conscious.

     @pointlessone @rysiek In all seriousness, if something like this is all it takes to let skynet loose, we were already doomed.

     My previous comment was intended as humorous reference to waking Cthulhu so as to be eaten first.

     @ryanc @rysiek If that's your wish I hope it’ll come to be but what if… it decides to spare only you and worship you as you're technically its creator? These days it's not easy to get what you want from an AI, not on your first prompt, anyway.

     @pointlessone @rysiek I don't think AI even needs autonomy to destroy humanity. What we have today can already be weaponized for psychological manipulation at scale.

     @ryanc @rysiek Well… Waking up The Great Dreamer to be consumed first is basically the basis of AI accelerationism movement (they call it themselves).

     And to the point about safety: it’s basically the main argument of AI doomers (they don't call it themselves but seem to get into the name as of late). It's important to get AI right the first try because we might not get a second chance. Where AI is often AGI (which is a stated goal of OpenAI and Meta, at least) but doesn't have to be. Bringing an existential threat onto everyone might be not as easy as 7 words but all these AI systems are released as if it's completely impossible.

     @viq @pointlessone @rysiek Really, the hyperconnectivity enabled by social media is a huge problem on its own. Microtargeted ads and algorithmic feeds make it way worse.

     @ryanc @pointlessone @rysiek "psychological manipulation at scale" - I think that may be describing the whole rush *towards* "AI", which contributes quite a bit to the destruction of our planet, and that's without any activity on the part of "AI"
     (sorry, I can't get myself to use that marketing term without the quotes)

     @pointlessone @ryanc @rysiek without quotes it's a term mostly from sci-fi books. Or would that be AGI?

     @viq @ryanc @rysiek AI even without quotes is a marketing term. We have a perfectly serviceable term for useful AI systems: Machine Learning. ML reflects the nature of the thing much better, in my opinion. We throw a bunch of data at a machine so it learns the patterns and produces similar output. There’s very little intelligence in matrix multiplication.
