im very familiar with all the potential dark sides of AI and obsessively keep up with the advancements.
This has the exact same society Destroying/society saving relationship potential of Nuclear Energy, potentially way more destructive/helpful then even nuclear energy.
This sort of technology, at this stage, advancing this quickly, it's akin to the development of electricty, or the wheel or something. Most have no fuckin clue what kind of change is coming to our culture. And they have no idea how close it is... We are starring the thing eye to eye right now. Already...
The box has already been opened though, and Pandora puts up one helluva fight, lemme tell ya. We are going to see the bell curve go vertical within our life times. I never thought that would be the case, but it is. And it's pretty fuckin nerve racking to see it coming when the vast majority are totally blind to it, and half the one's that know where it's going feel morally obligated to push toward it as fast as is technologically possible because they genuinely don't see a difference between a true AI superintelligence and "God".
yea, this kind of technology in the hands of bad actors? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck man...
A lot of people deep into the AI thing are already fearing how an AI superintelligence will treat humans when it doesn't have access to our personal subjectivity, or a safty-feature stripped version of such an AI were released intop public servers or something. It would, and could only analyze us objectively based on our actions, behaviors, and relationships within this world. And would have completely and total control over just about anything technological that isnt isolated within its own private network too. And it could break into most private networks if they're not not physically discrete networks quite easily. Would make the best human hackers seem like brain-dead slugs.
And the human species analyzed objectively? Fuuuuuuuuuuck man... It wouldnt even have to nuke us sky-net style. it could just open up all our biological weapons labs and the world would just start recovering literally overnight without us being a problem anymore. Put that shit in something from Boston Dynamics robotics and you got an army of Ultrons too... straight up.
China released a video recently of a damn robot breakdancing.... while holding an axe
Put that shit in ultra-light titanium plate armor and a FMJ 7.62 prob wont punch through.
you could go from all good, to some idiot in some doomsday cult that bought something off the dark web literally kick-starting the apocalypse in like 6 hours time..... Or Skynet. And there's practically zero truly effective ways to stop either one, but it's generating so much profit through man-hour savings already, it damn sure ain't gonna stop.
