Lemmy when gun death: “Gun proliferation was absolutely a factor, and we should throw red paint on anyone who gets on TV to say this is ‘just a mental health issue’ or ‘about responsible gun ownership’. They will say regulation is impossible, but people are dying just cuz Jim-Bob likes being able to play cowboy.”

Lemmy when AI death: “This is a mental health issue. It says he was seeing a therapist. Where were the parents? AI doesn’t kill people, people kill people. Everyone needs to learn responsible AI use. Besides, regulation is impossible, it will just mean only bad guys have AI.”

The way This Guy capitalizes Random Words drives me INSANE.

If you wanna be president of the United States, you should at least learn the language.

They already prosecute people under the unauthorized access provision. They just don’t prosecute rich people under it.

After his arrest, Roberts admitted to also stealing dinosaur bones and fossils from the Natural History Museum in Salt Lake City.

Checks out.

Because how to use it is baked into what it is. Like many big tech products, it’s not just a tool but also a philosophy. To use it is also to see the world through its (digital) eyes.

AGI doomers, yes.

I wouldn’t reject the label “AI Doomer”, myself. But I don’t have a strong position on utopia/dystopia when it comes to AGI.

Mostly because I think it’s so far away, that there’s a real good chance that we bet the farm on something much, much dumber than AGI.

Like a fancy autocomplete.

And hook it up to something unforgivably dangerous.

Like nukes.

I agree, and I think your points line up with Doctorow’s other writing on the subject. It’s just hard to cover everything in one short essay.

They don’t want copyright power to expand further. And I agree with them, despite hating AI vendors with a passion.

For an understanding of the collateral damage, check out How To Think About Scraping by Cory Doctorow.
