What bugs me most about pop discussions on AI is how little critical thought seems to be applied. Now I know this is no different than any other topic but its so blatant how most people are being duped.

There are these stories about AI doing some scary thing in testing and zero mention that this all just happening in a chatbot. A bot that is designed to produce output that seems like a human.

So all the fear is on the machine side yet the danger is the same as with any technology. The people making it and using it. The average person doesn't understand this and I don't hear enough people calling this out and the dangers of this at scale.

I don't care that much that Scam Altman is pumping his bags. I care more about scaring people into surrendering more freedom to the state and the technocracy. I care more about people being black pilled. People thinking we need to just go to a UBI (socialism). That will kill massive numbers of people.
