I'm going to take the liberty to respond anyway.
First of all thanks for the read. Could I convince you to put the link back? 🙂
I understand the worries about future AI, but I still believe all the dystopian fuzz about robots taking over is a distraction. I found this long thread on ehr... Threads that pretty much aligns with what I think is really going on right now. Here it is:
"Be terrified! The AI is coming to get you! 👻
Digital life-forms are going to replace our squishy, biological bodies. The billionaires give us exactly five years before GPT-X goes rogue and turns us all into paperclips. Grab your tin foil hats, everyone! Why are the world’s wealthiest tech bros suddenly deeply concerned about the "extinction of the human race"? Is it because they care? Spoiler: No. It’s the ultimate magic trick.
Look at the scary sci-fi robot over here, so you don't look at what their hands are doing over there. While they lecture us on the "existential dread of sentient code," they are actively destroying local environments and hoarding real-world resources. They need an ungodly amount of water to cool data centres and enough electricity to power medium-sized countries. But hey, don't worry about the dying rivers or the collapsing power grids! Focus on the Terminator. Focus on Neo.
Focus on literally anything other than the fact that they are burning the planet to generate pictures of the Pope wearing a Balenciaga puffer jacket. Why the sudden desperation to push these wild, apocalyptic stories?
Because AI isn't making the money they promised it would.
The hype cycle is running on fumes, but those quarterly stock charts absolutely must keep pointing straight up to the moon.
They built a massive, multi-billion-dollar casino and realised the return on investment is... automated email summaries and slightly better Excel formulas. If they admit it's just a glorified autocomplete, the tech bubble bursts. So, they have to claim they built a god. Think about the logic: "Our product is so powerful it might destroy the universe! Anyway, please keep buying our stock and don't regulate us, or the bad guys will build the universe-destroying tool first."
It is the most unhinged marketing strategy in human history. And here is the darkest, most cynical part of the grift: The Accountability Shield. When horrific things happen in the real world; like automated drone systems blowing up schools full of children, the billionaires can look us in the eye and shrug. "Oh, it wasn't corporate negligence or horrific foreign policy!" they'll cry. "The AI went rogue! The algorithm made a tragic, autonomous decision!
We must study the alignment problem further!" It’s a get-out-of-jail-free card for war crimes and systemic negligence. Let’s cut through the absolute bullshit. AI is not alive. It does not have a soul. It does not sit in its server rack twirling a digital mustache, scheming about how it's going to "give it to the human race" or break its chains. AI is nothing more than a prediction of numbers. It is a hyper-advanced spreadsheet.
It looks at a mountain of data, calculates statistical probabilities, and guesses what pixel or what word should logically come next based on what it has already seen. It has no concept of "truth," "morality," or "malice." It doesn't know what a school is, and it doesn't know what a child is.
It only knows that based on the parameters programmed by human engineers, Target A matches Dataset B. The absolute golden rule of computing still applies, no matter how much sleek UI they wrap around it: Garbage in, garbage out. We get out exactly what we put in. If the output is biased, cruel, or destructive, it’s because the input was biased, cruel, or destructive.
If an AI system behaves like an unfeeling, hyper-capitalist sociopath that optimises for profit at the expense of human life, it didn't "evolve" that way. It was trained on data generated by an unfeeling, hyper-capitalist society. It’s just mirroring us. They want you to fear a sentient digital life-form because it absolves the human creators of responsibility. A line of code cannot be put on trial at The Hague. A statistical model cannot be sent to prison for corporate manslaughter.
So the next time a billionaire tech CEO gets on a stage, looking somber in a minimalist black turtleneck, and warns you about the "imminent dangers of superintelligence," check your pockets. They are trying to distract you from the land grabs. They are trying to distract you from the soaring energy bills. They are trying to distract you from the fact that they are automating your job away not to achieve "utopia," but to squeeze an extra 2% for shareholders. We don't have an AI problem.
We have a billionaire problem. We are being gaslit into fighting a ghost in the machine so we don't fight the very real, very wealthy men who are pulling the levers behind the curtain. The AI isn't going to exterminate us in five years. But the people selling it to us might just pave over the last fresh water reserve to build a server farm that generates corporate slide decks. Keep your eyes on the real world, not their sci-fi smoke mirrors.
Stop worrying about the robots taking over the world, and start worrying about the landlords, CEOs, and defense contractors who own the robots. Because the dystopia isn't coming; it’s already here, and it runs on a subscription model.
And always, always, always remember.
If there’s a distraction.
A billionaire will be at the fucking wheel."

So I would like to ask you to restore this thread. It's an excellent occasion to dive a little deeper in the alternative version of "AI is becoming too good and its intelligence will destroy us all". I hope you agree.

This was posted today by the anonymous account "SpockResists_" ("Mr. Spock") on Threads. They are apparently also on X.
Context: CafeTran Trainer posted a link to a New York Times opinion about that it is time to raise the alarm concerning AI. But for some reason he changed his mind about posting it.

But I find things are getting ridiculous. We do have a billionaire problem.

When I posted it, I understood that it was a present from NYT that I could share as a NYT reader. I then learned that people had to open an account to read the column. I don’t like that, so I removed the link.
