Doesn't this situation call for companies that could decide to block AI and double down on the human workforce? And those companies who do would be rewarded by all of us who hate AI and they would succeed by the supposed rules of the free market. Why isn't any company stepping up to compete against AI run companies? Wouldn't it be an amazing opening to compete and win?
Also, it wasn't talked about in the article, but one of the big arguments for why this AI thing has to be so inevitable is that we have to compete with China. They think we have to start this race with China, to try to win AI.
First of all, I think we might have already lost the race. Second of all, even if you don't agree that we've already lost. What if by embracing AI, China and all the other countries are destroyed by it? What if it just makes so many mistakes and errors that it just destroys their economy and destroys their country?And then the countries who were cautious about AI would be fine.We'd be the winners, not having succumbed to this ridiculous urge to use everything AI.
People always forget that anything and everything hooked up to a network is hackable. I'll say it again. Everything hooked up to a network is hackable.Including this shitty AI stuff. If we put everything into AI, even if we win, another country could just hack us. And screw everything up. The bottom line is.There is a space to say no to AI and succeed.
I know I'm not that super articulate about this, but I would love to see somebody else write about these ideas with more finesse than I have, so that we could all start talking about this more and stop letting this inevitable push to AI just keep going without pushing back.
Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race
Not to mention, we sold China their surveillance tech which has given them the upper hand in this "race" we never agreed to participate in.
The data collecting capabilities of an authoritarian surveillance state (which we created and sold to China) are allegedly what we will have to accept because it's necessary to win this imaginary race with China...
I know not everybody is a "crazy conspiracy theorist," but does that logic not seem the ~~slightest bit~~ obviously fucked? How much of a "conspiracy" is it really to just acknowledge there are wealthy people in positions of power who don't have our best interest in mind when they talk about making America great and beating China?
US tech companies enabled the surveillance and detention of hundreds of thousands in China
US government allowed and even helped US firms sell tech used for surveillance in China
