The AI hype is starting to make a lot more sense. AI is just how Musk and other leading techbros experience the world right now.Consider this: Elon Musk doesn't do any work. He has people for that. All he has to do is give those people vaguely-worded instructions or "prompts" and they come back with the thing he wanted. He doesn't know how they do it, nor does he care. If something doesn't work the way he wants it to or doesn't meet his specifications, he supplies his people with a more specific prompt. That's how he "works"
edit: from @mcc in comments:
And they're terrified of AGI "getting out of control", I.E., the faceless entities that the prompts are attached to suddenly acting independently and making demands instead of just passively returning requested thing on demand.All that nonsense stuff about accidentally creating computer hell god is just sublimated fear about their employees unionizing
The original robots in the Czech play were mass bred cybernetic-organic slaves.
The robot uprising was the first story ever told about robots because the entire point of the story that invented the word was that you can't kill the soul of the worker. They will rise up for their rights.
I for one welcome or new robot overthrow of the billionaires.
