posted something like this before but: when AI guys say AI is too dangerous and needs to be regulated, it's not fear. it's an ad.
the ad pitch is their product is too good.
and way too many journalists are falling for it, completely
yeah I made this product. it's errrrrrrrr so powerful that it could put the whole world at risk. it's so powerful they're gonna need to make new laws to keep it under control. invest now
it's like if a magazine in the 90s put out an ad that had like a picture of a kid with spiked hair and electricity shooting around him, game controller in his hand and it says "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ON SEGA GENESIS WILL "BLOW YOUR HAIR OFF" " and then after this ad is published, all the world newspapers put out front page stories saying "SEGA SAYS SONIC THE HEDGEHOG NEEDS TO BE REGULATED" and boom you wrote the ad for them. the lack of research and questioning on this story is staggering
