A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm reminded of the apocryphal Ghandi quote "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." It seems like the general zeitgeist is in between the laugh/fight stages for AI right now.
It’s just too scary to acknowledge. Same thing with aliens. They’re both horrifying literally beyond imagination, and both for the same reason, and so it’s more natural to avoid acknowledging it.
