so the current dystopia doesn’t count?
If you think about it, the majority of the world population never knew anything different than dystopia.
In a sense, the article is tailored to a certain public that has a reasonably good life now and is naturally afraid to lose it.
But the truth is the world is (and always has been) very shitty for the majority of people on the planet when you consider the distribution of wealth.
I think it’s important to think about who are the winners and losers in this whole thing. Are these execs so altruist that they’re worried about the average person or is this doom prediction something that serves their agenda?
With Sam Altman the "OMG I'm so scared that we're building something terrifyingly powerful" pose is basically marketing and hype. Probably the same with all these other AI execs.
it's just practice.
