- No societal benefit. - Actively harms global culture. - Reduces jobs for many industries without opening up new ones. - Massively increased political misinformation. - Increases cost of electricity in surrounding areas and takes all drinking water. - Noise causes notable health detriments for surrounding residents. - AI makes corporations unaccountable for decisions made.
i just don’t think there’s any stopping it. like the best we can hope to do is push it to benefit but i think there’s so much division on it rn that it’s being allowed to run wild. the fact that Anthropic pulled out of a potential government deal shows that we could still help find the place we want it to have in society. but we need to start moving on that bc squabbling about whether is should or shouldn’t when it already does it pointless. it’s here, let’s get a handle on how we utilize it
Yeah, what I’m saying probably isn’t realistic. But what benefit could it possibly have? I can think of nothing but niche uses that would benefit from AI. And with AI companies pushing for deregulation, we’re never going to get a good framework for a regulated AI industry. There is no world where AI companies are regulated at a federal level. It’s just as unrealistic as my pipe dream that every single datacenter is nuked off the planet.
The “water stuff” is an excellent argument against AI. I can give you a whole bunch of examples of residents who no longer have water pressure thanks to AI hogging the municipal water supply. The problem is that we’re putting the cart before the horse. UBI needs to happen *before* AI destroys the job market. Otherwise, you’re left unemployed. Even experimental UBI is probably still several decades out policy-wise. You really think we’ll stall AI long enough?
