@siracusa I do, but I was born a hundred+ years after those things became an essential part of life.
AI’s not there yet, and I don’t fancy helping it along the way when the people pushing it have neither a plan nor a care to address the problems they openly talk about causing.
I realise I’m being hopelessly naive. I’m just sick of the rich getting richer and the rest of us always having to deal with the fallout.
Anyway, I’ll stop now. Thanks for continuing to make my favourite podcast.
@atpfm The AI ethics section hurt to listen to.
The industrial revolution example: that may yet lead to the end of habitability for large parts of our planet. The negative externalities affecting people right now are presumably not affecting you all that much yet. “There are huge downsides yes, but we need it for our work” does not feel like an ethical argument when you are well-respected folks with an audience, and when these companies have done absolutely nothing in good faith. I’m sorry.
