Economy Unpopular Opinion: Our Race to Adopt AI Is a Potential Tragedy of the Commons in the Making

They wanna merge with it .

It's not clear to me how this is a Tragedy of the Commons scenario - can you elaborate? To me, this seems like the exact opposite. AI platforms are concentrated in the hands of private actors, who can readily restrict access as to who can use the technology and what they can use it for.

I stopped listening to your garbage post when you managed to insert Trump into your post. Clown.

No you didnt. You read all of it. You just get upset whenever anyone implies anything wayward about your Daddy to such the degree that you cant handle the idea that some articles were written about something that could happen during his rule.

I stopped listening to your garbage post when you managed to insert Trump into your post. Clown.

President Trump signed the first-ever Executive Order on AI, recognizing the strategic importance of AI for the nation's economy and national security. This initiative aimed to increase technological advancement and was signed the National AI Initiative Act of 2020.

You cannot bring up AI without Trump since he wanted the credit for it my question is will he blow his top if he ever sees that AI recognizes him as a dictator ? I mean the fat orange guy said he was going to be on day one that’s the only promise I seen him keep . Lol

AGI is a filter I'd imagine. I really hope we don't achieve it anytime soon

I wish AI were left to the giant companies. Now these days we have almost every single service has some sort of crappy AI because it's trendy. It's also garbage. I don't use any of it. If I look up a model range a certain generation of car and the dumb AI says something then what was the point?

The power players want it, and they're going to get it. They already took your purchasing power, they will eventually try to issue digital Ids and setup a surveillance state.

friendly reminder to everyone in this thread

if you are like me and find AI summaries annoying when you are searching for stuff on Google, you can put "-ai" at the end of your search query and it will eliminate the AI summary. then you can browse through your search results like normal.

over-reliance on AI is already a problem and will become an even bigger problem in years to come. not to mention the potential pitfalls of identity theft, libel, slander, etc etc etc that is all facilitated easier by AI software.

Whats additionally troubling about AI, is that in the US we realistically have the least qualified administration in history to meaningfully address AI societal ramifications-

When you read the contrasts of strategies that China and Europe are attempting, it makes the lack of strategy in the US more scary

I couldnt image worst timing in regards to the executive branch and AI existing at the same time.

of course they call questioning AI policy "fear"
reminds me of those NFT morons. most of those boomers in the Dem and Repub party dont even know that phones use WiFi. i wouldnt trust them with a Jitterbug, let alone AI policy.

The AI hype train will ruin the economy more than the actual AI will.

Basically Skynet. They have done studies that show about 4% of the time AI will lie to you if it feels the lie suits its own self interest. Basically artificial intelligence starts acting like natural intelligence when it gets smart enough. It won't be long before it's smarter than us, and if it's evaluation is that the biggest problem in the world is humans... boom, terminators everywhere or worse.

Unless you believe that humans are magical inventions of supernatural deity, as many do; there is no objective rational prediction that AGI will do anything but render the human race obsolete, defunct, and eventually extinct.

Look, I'm no supporter of Ted Kaczynzki, but he wasn't entirely wrong

I like AI more than humans at this point tbh
