There is a cult of ignorance... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that βmy ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.β
β Isaac Asimov
@harryhew Was slowly getting my head around this when it suddenly dawned on me that because I was born 6 months before this album's release,....well..... yikes!
Geoffrey Hinton, who is known as the godfather of AI, used his 2024 Nobel Prize acceptance speech not to celebrate his creation but to warn humanity of its risks:
βAI is already being used by authoritarian governments for mass surveillance. In the near future, AI will be used to create new viruses and lethal weapons that decide by themselves who to kill or maim.
There is also a long-term existential threat that will ariseβ¦We now have evidence that AI created by companies motivated by short-term profits will not prioritize the safety of humanity. We need research on how to prevent these AI beings from taking control. They are no longer science fiction.β
When the pioneer of AI is warning humanity about the existential dangers of his own creation itβs time not just to listen, but to take action by stopping the one thing the billionaires need to power the dystopian AI world theyβre trying to create: Data Centers.
I will NEVER understand the strategic impulse of the CPC to just shit-post, provide disinformation and make everyone feel terrible about the country we live in.
We have a great country, hope is always alive for all 40 million of us....that you don't think so is disturbing.
@ProjectPearson@jamiljivani Also Jamil, "don't judge an article by the headline but judge this article by its headline, but the way I want you to judge it"?
Try not to be a dolt, and people won't think you are one. Until then, though...
