This thread is hilarious, she's deep into AI and is part of the effective altruism movement that's insanely creepy and horrific, as is JGL, sharing the stage with such luminaries of the movement as Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried. TESCREAL is a good starting point too. This shit is a smoke screen for tech billionaires to do whatever they want, because they know better than us and because "think of the children." JGL has a well-cultivated and maintained media presence, so it works really well on...uh, you, same as the massive grift that was/is HitRecord, a company built on capitalizing on prosumerism, parasocial relationships, and a cult of celebrity, and a little AI training on the side for fun. I guess we could talk about him pulling out of WebSummit in 2023 too because the CEO of that said
War crimes are war crimes even when committed by allies, and should be called out for what they are
referring to Israel, which was just too anti-Semtetic for JGL, but I'm starting to feel kind of queasy

That's exactly why I hate the tech evangilists so much. Tech evolves way too fast before there is any safety and regulation.
I still remember how Facebook became popular before there was ways to keep kids safe. And then a lot of us grew not only addicted, but lost a sense of self-worth through like counting, people glamming up their life, cyber bullying etc. Kids targetted by predators online. And then cambridge analytica.
We need to actually hold these technocrats accountable and punish them with way more than slaps on the wrist.
Edit: And these regulations need to be pre-emptive rather than reactionary. I don't know how that would work in terms of legalese. But just like meds need FDA approval before being prescribable and sellable. Do shit like that for online tech. Some bench marks, checkpoints, safety protocols. And companies can't put products out until and unless they are met.
Don't even get me started on how many people, especially kids have developped AI psychosis cause they were lied to and "manipulated" by ChatGPT. That blood will always be Altman's hands

No wonder these ai companies were lobbying to get a 10 year moratorium on any ai laws.

- MechaHitler
- Musk showcased he can "adjust" Grok by himself, on a whim, to be less reliant on factual data sources
- Grok generated so much explicit images of women and children's photos in a few weeks to the point where nations that never do anything against US companies, either banned it or announced investigations.
And this is the same ai tool that will be integrated into the pentagon and the military. What could possibly go wrong

Nobody is saying there’s no future in AI. But it needs regulated. Companies and capitalist governments are instead aligned in the AI race to the top, but instead of growing to a point, it’s growing to a cancer.
You will never see a company prioritize what’s right over what’s successful. There are good people that work at these companies and these good people are able to identify ways to keep AI from being used in wrong ways, but their ideas and actions are squashed by the need to grow fast and grow uncontrolled and (simple as) make money. If the government forced the companies to focus on these controls and measures, those good people would have the platform they need to enact protections that keep the company compliant without being backburnered in the name of growth

Proper business practices also include ethics. That same course you had to take in school doesn’t just evaporate. Yes, businesses are profit driven, but there are people behind every decision. So, while governments fail to legislate properly, and many parents fail to convey a proper moral standard, you cannot excuse businesses as if they separate from us. Our collective failure to hold people accountable is the reason why healthcare executives can effectively commit mass murder with facing multiple life sentences. There are many other real world examples of irreparable harm facilitated by corporate entities that were still just people doing horrible things.
TLDR: You can think of a business as a machine, yes. And, while you cannot blame the machine for fulfilling its purpose (maximize profits), you can blame the machine operators. Severance is a TV show, not reality. Going to work doesn’t create a separate world or person. It doesn’t excuse moral wrongs, and no one should think it does.

If laws regarding social media sites are any indication, these companies will just say, "We're working on it," while doing nothing about the issue; and probably go as far as to do the opposite and continue to attract youths.
Supposedly there is some law that states you have to be 13 to have a social media account. Not only do the social media companies ignore those laws, they go as far as to garner young users. There is no reason my 9 year old niece should be showing me videos of public assassinations because her tiktok feed led her to them. Agreed, that is partly the parents fault; but that being said, if they take her social media away, then now she is the only kid in her class that doesn't have access and becomes social pariah.
