    You are the one acting foolish by assuming that because you can imagine something becoming existentially dangerous when it has shown zero evidence of doing so… that we should prioritize focusing on it when we have things like Climate Change that are actually existential threats.

    Yes, anything could become an existential threat, I will however focus on the realistic most likely existential threats because otherwise I will spend my whole life worried that sky is falling while propping up the value of snake oil salesman tech companies.

    I would suggest ingesting less scifi slop about AI and taking an interest in actual existential issues threatening us.

    Where is my strawman argument?

      it has shown zero evidence of doing so

      Like were you born in 2022? You’re so angry about this. Exactly what I’m afraid of. That a lot of people who aren’t hopping on board with AI will just sit on the internet and gloat about their limited perspective until it’s too late for us to do anything collective that doesn’t involve violence.

        Again, stop trying to fear monger about a perceived existential threat while providing no evidence when there are ACTUALY existential threats like Climate Change we are facing.

          fear monger

          Calm down. This is lemmy. Like 8 people are going to see this and all of them can form their own opions. unlike you.
