Commentary on the story splits between skepticism that warnings are financially motivated fear-mongering, and serious concern that regulation cannot prevent malicious actors from developing dangerous AI or that AI advancement is inevitable.

The possibilities are endless, especially as AI becomes more powerful and more advanced along with robotics. It could be told to find its own ways to destroy.

I would not be surprised if in 50 years AI and robots wipe out humans and then the world becomes robotic and they start colonizing the universe. It’s scary to think we might actually be near the end of humanity.

If anyone wants to understand where we’re headed the Ai futures project created an essay that’s been very accurate so far. https://ai-2027.com Some say the essay is slower than reality.

The outcomes were either extreme inequality or extinction of humanity. Neither of which are good outcomes.

Telling people this vague stuff isn't helping, the people don't know just hear "AI bad" ok, how???
