Why do people keep posting AI articles without understanding them?

Or are you really advocating for the fix being a couple thousand tech ros making the calls for everyone instead of a handful of techbros?

Even if this happened, people like Musk would just pay his employees more so they say it's ok. If they won't say it's ok for any amount of money, they're not employed anymore.

Why would anyone whose job is training AI, say we shouldn't have AI?

It gives the illusion that it's ok, without changing anything.

The solution is the democratic process, not slightly enlarging the circle of unelected oligarchs making decisions for us.

Like, if these workers gave a fuck, they wouldn't have taken these jobs to start with,they're not gonna save us anymore than people working in a coal mine will save us from climate change

Seems their actions are only as significant as to the perceived risks to themselves. They had zero problems "disrupting" everyone else.

No, the article says their problems are with surveillance and automated weapons...

Which are valid concerns for almost everyone...

Which is why everyone should have a say in it, and not just the people the AI companies choose to employ.

If their employees get to decide it, they just won't have any employees that are willing to say AI shouldn't be used for that. Employment would be predicated on saying AI should have no limits.

Which is why if this happened, it would overall be a bad thing.

they might be "afraid" but are still doing it anyway, and collecting a paycheck periodically

No. Those are things that affect them. Find something these fuckers won't do to others that doesn't also affect them before contradicting my statement.

I'm sorry I couldn't explain it in a way you can understand

I'm not scared of it I'm bored by it, it's boring technology. It's good for research it's not exciting by any means. I don't care what kind of digital chimeras this thing can regurgitate it doesn't make anything it's just a mishmosh of inputs from extraordinary and not so extraordinary people. Why race to replace the one thing that makes us so special to begin with anyways? These people are anti-society and anti-human.
