(OC) AI 'art' and the future

[u/SylvieXX]

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

The proponents of these laws are trying to avoid powerful AI that aren't controlled by any humans at all.

That's what they say. What they are building, in reality, is regulatory capture

Perhaps a bit of regulatory capture is the lesser of two evils when the alternative might be all humans dying to a rouge superintelligence?

I understand you are personally worried about this stuff but OpenAI isn't. Sam Altman is personally worried only about making his own net worth grow faster. And he is willing to use the rhetoric of AI safety if it means he can slow down at least some of his competition, but he is not interested in actually hearing AI safety experts and taking into account their input. And that's why Ilya left

True. He is a ***

Consider 2 worlds.

World 1) Strict AI regulations. OpenAI gets some exceptions that let them make somewhat bigger AI's. Blatant regulatory capture. A lot of A**holes make a lot of money.

World 2) Every idiot in the world can mess around with AI freely. Someone makes rouge ASI. Everyone dies.
