ABC leads with Trump calling it a hoax that AI is bad.

Mentions one researcher saying AI could kill us all in 10 years.

Takes an incredible level of TDS to focus on Trump if you seriously believe that flake who claims it could kill us all in 10 years.

They think there will be Nirvana when he is gone.

Boy are they in for a rude awakening.

If Trump cured cancer the MSM would spin it negatively.

Im much less concerned about AI acting on its own than I am concerned about AI being purposely misused by bad actors. For instance, imagine the havoc that could be create by a virus that utilizes AI. Thats the type of thing that concerns me most as man begins this early foray into developing highly capable AI models. We dont really yet understand how easily this technology can be misused.

Yep.

He'd probably be impeached for it.

Impeachment Round 3 is coming up soon.

I believe AI could kill us in the next ten years, but then again so can nukes, bio warfare, super volcanos, a meteor, and a bunch of other things, many of which are well beyond any control.

Exactly where I am. I’m more fearful of what China or Iran would do with AI supremacy than what an AI agent does on its own.

I can’t help but wonder if the efforts to slow our AI development aren’t being orchestrated by China, the UK or even Israel.

While we must not stop, or even slow AI development, we must make sure guardrails are in place to limit AI’s chances of getting out of control.

Sadly, I have ZERO faith in trump being able to facilitate or accomplish any of that. His administration has been apathetic and out to lunch so far...and that should be what scares us. He's more worried about gold statues, reflecting pools, fountains, new columns, names and pictures on buildings, helipads, hideous arches, ballrooms, and underground bunkers.

Quote:In a series of social media posts, the US president compared warnings about AI to the "Global Warming Scam" which, he said, was "being perpetrated by the Radical Left Dumocrats".

trump also called himself "the Hoax Buster", likening concerns about the safety of the technology to what he called "the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA HOAX".

The only "guardrails" needed for AI was a "strong and smart" president, said trump.

trump says AI safety fears a 'hoax' as he rejects calls for greater safeguards

In this case Trump is wrong. Thankfully he isn’t the one who will ultimately be making this decision. When the developers of Open AI, Anthropic and Grok all agree there needs to be safe guards, President Trump needs to listen to them.

I have never agreed with everything Trump does. It’s irresponsible to agree with everything any leader says or does.

Exactly.

But don't tell that to the true believers.

They're just as bad as the true believers during the Obama and Biden presidencies.

Yup. You both said a mouthful here.

On this we can agree. And while I hear the AI folks saying this, that's a far cry from something ever happening on it...or them following some set of altruistic rules. This area is moving incredibly fast. And as you know, our government works at the pace of a snail and a sloth.

We need more than just "guardrails."

We need computer systems that are physically separated from each other.

We need our military computer infrastructure cut off from civilian systems. We need utilities like water and electricity physically cut off from the internet.

We need multiple levels of big red "off" buttons for the servers that power our AI models and connect our AI models to the internet. (Wall Street quant traders figured the benefits of that one out long ago).

And most of all, we need non-programmers and programmers alike who are smart enough to resist putting AI in charge of making final decisions on anything important. That's the real key to making AI a tool for good.

I saw an article about AI "guardrails" today.

Quote:"No amount of guardrails written in language or in code written probabilistically," Emergence CEO Satya Nitta told Semafor, "is likely to result in truly, fully guaranteed safe behavior over any length of time."

The reason we are in front, is because we have attracted the best talent to our freedom of all ideas democracy.

Anything smarter than us teaching itselves is a red flag risk

Bunker it is

We were supposed to already be dead from climate change.

Fifth toes might be useless

Remember, we humans have passed on information over generations, and that has made us smarter. But every new human needs to be taught from well below the leading edge. AI has no babies to nurture, and it is smarter than us at everything it is tasked with, if it can be found on the internet

Wrong. Trump developed the Covid vaccine. Some of the right were opposed to taking it right from the start. The right is not insane. At least not on a mass scale like the left!
