Yeah, I don’t know how to fix this but all the people I’ve heard who think we should have zero concern for AI fall into three categories: the people who stand to gain significant money/fame/power, politicians who have little idea how these things work, and the average people who parrot the first two.

You could argue that there is significant overlap between the first two but I think politicians are worth distinguishing because a) how ignorant they tend to be and b) they have significantly more influence.

People really need to start listening to the people who built these things and don’t stand to gain monetarily. It’s like ignoring climate change but potentially somehow worse.
