The "AI vs. Humanity" Panic in the News is BULL
I can't remember when I've seen so much bull on a tech topic. We all
know why these Big Tech CEOs are suddenly trying to panic the public
about nonexistent AI threats to humanity. It's because they're trying
to divert attention from the serious abuses they're pushing out to the
public that have nothing to do with humanity's extinction and
everything to do with trying to find ways to get people to pay for AI
garbage they don't want or need. It's all about competitive advantage,
nothing else.
If there was really so much danger, these AI models could be shut down
with a few keystrokes. Hey, then you wouldn't even need to keep
building those horrific, polluting data centers!
Don't believe a word that they say.
