Utter rubbish.
Fear porn, and not even very well done at that.
Daily Mail needs your clicks.
Democrats are more dangerous than AI will ever be.
Even crazier than going extinct from global warming.
Keep the people scared! You can get them to do crazy stuff like put masks on their faces and distance themselves from others.
Yudkowski is probably the most prominent AI “doomer”.
There is probably less than a 50% chance that he is correct.
That gives me little comfort.
If anyone wants to hear him explain in depth here is a video:

I don’t read this story as a case of AI hating humanity. Rather, humanity simply being inconsequential if it is in the way of its programming and its need for energy.
It would have the same mentality that we have with insects. If an insect is on your tool shed handle, it’s inconsequential to you as to what you do to it in order to gain access to the shed.
,,, when Grota Thunbug finds out about the AI scenario she’ll pick it up and run with it - climate change will be way off in the rear view mirror.
Yes, I do believe A.I. cannot be covered by “freedom of speech”.
I don’t know the particular people for an appropriate A.I. review body, but I think it is possible to establish a politically unbiased/neutral and technologically super well informed group that can analyze the question - can A.I. application/model “X” escape from, and self replicate beyond, where it was placed to operate, and can it take over control of such locations it goes to.
For an A.I. application/model to do that, is not a mater of “freedom of speech” allowed business enterprises. That would be the basic first step for out of control A.I.
Horses#it!
From wherever he is now, Frank Herbert is saying “See? I told you so ...”
Actually not totally wrong.
AI will severely affect
young people trying to enter
the workforce and
mature there.
AI is not going to swap out
an engine, or build a boat
from “Scratch”,
but it can replace
a entry level person with a BA
degree in some sort of office
job.
Guess what most kids want,
a cushy office job in their wonderful
cities.
Early AI became very racist and they had to shut it down:
Scientists Built an AI to Give Ethical Advice, But It Turned Out Super Racist

An AI will (may) destroy humanity only if Microsoft is involved.
I, for one, welcome our artificial overlords.
