Was listening to an ai guy on the Peter McCormick show the other day, and people say 'AI will extinct us' etc, but they never say how.

Do they mean a Skynet situation? I mean, if ai went sentient and launched nukes or trad weapons, it would destroy itself too, so presumably it wouldn't want to do that.

What about low-tech communities like the Amish? How are you going to do anything to them when they are literally still rocking a horse and buggy?

People basically can't function without tech now, sure, but it's not like we'd all die without wifi.

Now, if ai were really smart, the move would be to get people with a sex robot or vr headset with a haptic dick attachment + an AI gf module, and people would basically just matrix themselves. Wouldn't even need a nuke!

What do you stackers say AI will extinct us? How do you imagine the apocalypse?

I think AI is going to have an absolute direct line to our dopamine production. It's going to figure us out completely, and we, as a species will become hopelessly addicted.

Could be sex robots, video games, movies, whatever. It will know exactly how to give you what you want or need, and we are going to go the way of the panda.

Are you trying to give it ideas? It would have been funnier if this came from a bot account

i dont buy into narratives of ai Armageddon.
algorithmic ai is already doing lots of damage, just look in the average classroom. so far i believe this is the most pressing challenge, not asi or agi.

Nope. We just have to remain vigilant and not be lazy.

sadly, when 90% of humans are Honny Boo boo level retards, i have little hope

Here's hope: it's never been up to the 90%, or even the 99%, to change the world.
