It already has negatively effected our brains for the past four years.

…and it seems, the brains of CEOs too.

It now takes me four weeks to “write” and debug a test case with Claude Sonnet that I could have written and executed manually in five minutes, but this is what management wants. Yay AI.

Shitty self-driving cars kill people.

It's not a "tool" when it makes autonomous unpredictable decisions to take actions.

So far, the shifty self driving cars are turning out to kill a lot less people per mile driven than the shifty human drivers out there.

Waymo's kill less people. Not the other shitty ones.

AI will one day be good for efficiency. But it will be a nightmare for most of the 9 billion people living on this planet that work for a living - especially the middle and upper middle class.

Nah, AI is a stupid pipe dream for management that wants to treat us like machines. Anthropomorphization of computation is purely bad.

I've been in computation for a while. I'm very well exposed to this.

I ask you two things, what happens when the AI that I prompt makes a mistake am I liable for that? What happens when I automate an eliminate a task that takes and organization the equivalent of several people to do? Do I get credit for that are they going to give me a bonus? So, far I have not seen this. So, increased productivity, but no bonusses or anything just increased responsibilities. AI sucks for everyone.

Though one interesting thing is it's really got management on edge. I think it's funny though, they go to all these lengths to make sure I don't, you know, hack their systems, ah but AI, go ahead let's get them hooked up on service accounts so they don't have to bother with these proletariat security measures. Ah, I see, they had our computers locked down not because of hackers, but because they were afraid of us, and now they are even more afraid.

It's sole purpose is for them to get richer, and they will destroy the planet as a means to an end.

If you don't like that reason, push back on it.

Yep. They are investing in AI because it can reduce labor cost. The more people it can replaces the more money is invested.

Exactly this. Why are so many people willing to hand power like that to billionaires and greedy nutcases is beyond my comprehension. We are marching right into our own demise.

Easy to imagine regulation could entrench existing AI leadership

But that’s a terrible excuse to not try. First step is making the existing US AI leadership aware that their companies exist at the pleasure of the US government.

Well, it’s a risk to bear in mind and try to be thoughtful about

So is the risk of not regulating.
