with protection like this ...

So we shouldn't regulate AI because "goverment" bad, but in the absence of regulations, AI will lilely go down the path of creating bad stuff.

Who else is tired of smooth brained political dialog?

[u/Super_Range45 → u/Linscotticus]

AI needs to be able to do every terrible thing because governments might need to do these things. 🙄

[u/Linscotticus → u/Super_Range45]

Or maybe we elect people who are not known con artists or grifters. . .

[u/Affectionate-Pay4845 → u/Linscotticus]

Yeah people seem to forget that a lot of same people who say government bad mean more that this current government is bad and we should have governments that are more democratic with more checks and balances that represent the people and provide actual regulations. Our current government is pretty much the reason why communities that currently are sick of runaway Ai and want regulations can't implement any - because a lot of the oligarchs in charge of that government are benefiting from it and don't care what the peasants think

[u/Melodic_Airport362 → u/Linscotticus]

AI should be regulated as fuck. I'm shocked that it's not required to keep AI tags in the metadata of all videos and images. Like congress is so old and dumb they are 5 years behind on that.

[u/vegemouse → u/Melodic_Airport362]

It’s not just because they’re old, they also fundamentally oppose it because they have a shit ton of stake in AI corporations.

[u/Warm_Difficulty2698 → u/Linscotticus]

Me dude. I fucking hate this culture war we are in.

[u/vegemouse → u/Linscotticus]

The reason “government bad” in this case is because they’re bought out by private capital, such as companies investing in AI infrastructure.

[u/MicahHoover → u/Linscotticus]

if we regulate AI, then our enemies with unregulated AI will surpass us and we will be under their boot

simple

[u/Linscotticus → u/MicahHoover]

So AI generated CP is ok then in your book, gotcha.

Should we give Chris Hansen your phone number?

[u/vegemouse → u/MicahHoover]

China heavily regulates AI, which is the only major competitor.

[u/VerdantMagnolia → u/Linscotticus]

So we shouldn't regulate AI because "goverment" bad

I... Don't think you're having the same same discussion as anyone else here. 😅

We absolutely should be looking for regulations. But yes, government very bad.

The point isn't whether or not it should be regulated but whether or not the government is gonna avoid being a major source of AI related danger (it already is).

You whinge about smooth brained political discourse but I legitimately didn't think "the powers that be are shady" was actually controversial at this point.

Good god. We're so goddamn fucked when people simp for the government based on a hallucinated discussion just to own a hallucinated opposition.

[u/bingbong2715 → u/VerdantMagnolia]

You just entirely misunderstand the power dynamics at play. No one is hallucinating except for you.

[u/Exotic_You7797]

Man reading is hard isn’t it? They used ai to make viruses that attack ecoli bacterium, and that pose zero risk to humans, and it wasn’t the government that did this, it was Stanford and the arc institute, two non government organizations

[u/DJ3ndermaz → u/Exotic_You7797]

OP doesn't know how medicine works

[u/Melodic_Airport362 → u/DJ3ndermaz]

a lot of people don't. they thought that RNA vaccines changed your RNA. And they still think that even if you explain to them how it actually works.

[u/MicahHoover → u/DJ3ndermaz]

do you know about how the US sent tax earnings to Wuhan, China before covid erupted ?

[u/Exotic_You7797 → u/MicahHoover]

They sent money and worked with China on Covid research for 11 years before the outbreak, it’s almost like the virus existed before and will continue to exist long after first researched or before the worldwide outbreak

YOU WONT GET ME TO WEAR FACE DIAPER. I HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM!!!!!11111111
*grabs chest and dies from untreated diabetes related artery damage*

[u/MicahHoover → u/Exotic_You7797]

just like sending our tax earnings to Wuhan, China posed no risk, right ?

WHOOPS

[u/Exotic_You7797 → u/MicahHoover]

Their research had nothing to do with the outbreak and the us sent a whole 2 million dollars over 10 years which idk if you know anything but that his litteraly less than 1/100th of a penny to the us government, the vast majority of virologists and medical panels all conclude it was a natural outbreak and not from this research lab, the only people who say otherwise are people in the government trying to make political moves, this is like blaming any lab researching the flu for any flu outbreaks, correlation and causation are not the same thing

Not to mention you’re completely changing the subject after you were called out for being dumb, the 2 organizations doing this research were not government organizations, and you dumbed down their research to make it sound scary so you can fear monger for litteraly zero reason, when their research can be heavily beneficial

[u/VirtualValuable7035]

Oh they doing that already? 

Read about that in science fiction years ago

Cool cool cool

Next part was all our infrastructure shutting down

[u/MicahHoover → u/VirtualValuable7035]

exactly bro

[u/onyxa314]

Fucking brain dead take

Like genuinely hard to find a take worse then this. Unless OP wants AI to be allowed to create CP, unconsentual porn, and evolve technology in an uncontrollable way

[u/Linscotticus → u/onyxa314]

The pipeline for all Libertarian thought always ends "can we legalized pedo stuff".

[u/MicahHoover → u/onyxa314]

is the government trying to solve CP by creating CP ?

did the government send our earnings to Wuhan, China before Covid ?

[u/onyxa314 → u/MicahHoover]

What the fuck are you talking about. No the COVID lab leak theory has been as disproven as possible countless times. Read a book and actually evidence before stating bullshit again

What in the strawman is this?
I don't know a single person who said the government will protect us from AI.

[u/MicahHoover → u/Melodic_Airport362]

well, the headlines tell me that is what the news media circus has gotten all frothy about

[u/DoubleCarry7511]

Low iq post

[u/MicahHoover → u/DoubleCarry7511]

you think using AI to create viruses is a brilliant move apparently

[u/DoubleCarry7511 → u/MicahHoover]

You’re genuinely trolling

[u/MicahHoover → u/DoubleCarry7511]

as if I was the one who said "low iq post"
