@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori You say it'll be transformative, but I have to ask you:

Why?

AGI would create a digital person, a consciousness. What magical power or authority would such have?

It's cool for a sci-fi narrative, but making it do something in the real world is very different.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori Change requires authority.

Can the AI force people to listen?
Can the AI force a government to obey?

These AI's are trained on human knowledge. How can it do anything a human already can't?

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori And I remind you: these are the people you say are "doing good in the world."

Potentially making an entire town thirst isn't doing good in the world.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori This is a drought map.

The water waste of AI is not exaggerated.

https://t.co/lPL4z6qTIl

An entire TOWN of people told to use as little as possible while it gets pissed away.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori You make a digital expert and all it's going to do is scream into the void for our leaders to ignore it.

The problems our world faces have known solutions, whether clean energy or as simple as "STOP BOMBING INNOCENT PEOPLE."

But those in power tend to ignore such.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori You make a computerized person, a digital consciousness. It's one more voice in billions.

It can do no more than what the humans around it go with.

Could it be cool? Sure. Will it change things?

We've seen world leaders ignore experts for decades.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori I think doing good for the world is a little different.

We can't ethically trust these companies.
If the got AGI, I don't trust them to treat a digital consciousness ethically.
They steal. They pollute.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori "Do good for the world" while building datacenters that piss away water like it's unlimited and burning through power at such extreme rates as to raise the price of electricity across entire states and countries.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori here to make money.

A company selling investments, is here to make money.

IF they make AGI, they will enslave it to make more money.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori So, why the for-profit change for OpenAI?

To say nothing of Google and Microsoft hopping in on all of this.

It's very much a big cash-cow to these companies.

IMO, genuine research to make AGI is something a university would do.

A company selling $200/month subscriptions is-

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori It's also a great time to look at the other effect:

https://t.co/Iq4FhlaNbS

AI can cause you to lose the abilities you rely on it to do.

Code with AI? Your own ability to code will degrade.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori If that were the case, OpenAI wouldn't have moved to a for-profit structure.

AI is amazing at replacing skilled workers with a prompt. Especially when OpenAI can charge a fraction of a worker's salary.

The investors funding these companies aren't making donations.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori If stealing for training gets a free-pass,
but all other forms do not,
that isn't better for everyone.

That's better for the rich backers of AI orgs.

You'd go to jail for the same crime.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori fair use.

And they have the lawyers and lobbyists to make that happen.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori I mean, the idea of AI orgs is to make theft legal.

The copyright laws we have, are the only way a common person, small creator, etc can fight back.

Once you weaken copyright, then these companies can still claim their AI is legally copyrighted, but the works they stole are -

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori If pirating a movie is illegal,
but pirating a book to train AI isn't.

That's not a fair application of copyright. That's special treatment.

[Spotted Pride Time 💜🤍🩶🖤 @MoonriseWuff]

@harryisgamer_ @cmuratori If you only get rid of something the moment it can make someone rich, the problem was never with the principles of that thing.

The goal is to make rich thieves richer, but making it so their *specific* form of theft isn't theft any more.
