The #TESCREALists declare their #AI #pause open letter to be a success. #TESCREAList #MaxTegmark says: "The letter has had more impact than I thought it would. [...] I felt there was a lot of pent-up anxiety around going full steam ahead with AI, that people around the world were afraid of expressing for fear of coming across as scare-mongering luddites."
And indeed it has been a success; the same #GuardianNewspaper article from which I lifted the quote above goes on to use the laughable #TESCREAL posture of #hyperintelligent #AI to storm past the very real current societal harms of #AI as outlined by @timnitGebru, @emilymbender and others, completely muddying the water.
"Fears around AI development range from the immediate, such as the ability to generate deepfake videos and mass-produce disinformation, to the existential risk posed by super-intelligent AIs that evade human control or make irreversible and highly consequential decisions."
That was the intent of the letter all along
