Might not be unusual now to get an identity theft alert that your name is on 5,000 new accounts.

+1 It hasn't hit yet, but the scale of damage can be astronomical.

Remember a couple of years ago when OpenAI execs were openly fretting about achieving "AGI" soon and it destroying the human race or something?

“Duuuuude it’s so powerful and dangerous we can’t even release it. Give us another trillion dollars for more data centers plz”

This is getting so tiring

The first time I heard of this supposed possibility was a New Yorker profile in summer 2022 about "Effective Altruism". The concern was that these supposedly optimizing people had to push more funds into preventing outsized potential long term issues like AI going bonkers, and focus less on current problems they might want to fix.

It then goes on to talk about the philosophical supporters of the movement like:

Sam Bankman Fried
Elon Musk

So...yeah probably not as ethical as they would make themselves out to be.
