The AI train is going with or without you, if you can be part of it and improve the situaton, why not.

Interesting disconnect from AI people saying AI is inevitable, but if we’re involved we can mitigate the harshest negative outcomes. Not sure that follows and I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that.

It’s just a kind of lazy fatalistic nihilism. I worry about the world and think that these adult children who were told “no” during the pandemic have let their worst misanthropic tendencies flourish. They are indoctrinated in a belief that “you can just do things” for “you can just do things” sake.

Same thing was said about crypto.

  • Same thing is said about peddling drugs. Profit doesn't push ethical problems aside, though, or at least shouldn't.

    At least nobody peddling drugs tried to convince anyone they're doing it to "save the planet".
