Great classical perspectives to remind us of the character of the state. Would be interesed in your thoughts on the business owners whose reach is broader than any state.
Google, Microsoft, Apple are obvious examples right now of that centralised global reach. If AI accelerates that trend, as Suleyman puts it, "there will be just a few mega-players whose scale and power will begin to rival traditional states". From NZ's viewpoint, they already do.
I've come to the conclusion that if/when SkyNet comes, it won't declare war on the human race. It might, though, goad the human race into declaring war on itself. Remember the Microsoft Tay chatbot? It would only take a small number of savvy bad actors to elevate it to something out of Rwanda in 1994.
And technological unemployment isn't a technology problem, but an oligarch problem.
As with any technology, AI is only as good as the humans who program its algorithms. Or as they call it in the industry, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO).
Thanks for that comment! The Tay bot incident must have passed me by! The need, then, for AI to have ethical constraints and guidelines programmed in, but there's no guarantee that some LLMs won't have that. Does anyone trust Musk?
Those who still take Musk at his word tend to be 1 or more of the following:
- Techno-feudalists
- Tin foil hat wearers
- Great Replacement believers
I forgot to mention the fake rumours, actively boosted by Musk & his hangers-on, about the Southport stabber that led to the recent riots in England. Those who were vocal about "BLM rabbles looting & burning down cities" were strangely silent or apologist about this outbreak of violence.
