I Was Offered Money to Tell You AI Will Kill Us

There is money in telling you AI will destroy humanity, and there is money in telling you it will improve your life. Both sides are quietly paying creators to make the case. Some of it is disclosed properly and some of it very much is not. Let’s take a look.

  1. I think the notion of neutrality is really outdated, even when it comes to technology and science. It is not possible to not influence political reality in some way, no matter what someone does. I think it is rather our task to align our actions with the benefit/well-being of others — not to get back to neutrality (which does not exist), but to incorporate more perspectives/lives.

  2. AI will kill us all is the claim, as there are naysayers about AI. I worked a first generation AI in the U.S. Air Force, years ago at the same time Cyberpunk became a popular genre: The 1990s were wild with Cyberpunk themes. It was designed to help solve maintenance problems on a piece of airfield equipment. The AI was simple, it was only good for troubleshooting, and it was always wrong. Despite attitudes about being wrong, the engineers said keep using it and report the troubles: I suspect we were a test case and the engineers were learning how to train the AI. Anyway, the point, the military will be there first for the killer AI. So, nobody has to worry about it, it will come. AI used in business and social roles will eventually attack us and control us, directed by the government and its political powers, that is possible in socialist systems demanding that the commie top committee be observed as our god: You know who they are, they are called politicians and they love to sit on committees. Government has so much overreach that they want to control dissent, like seen in the U.K. and its failure to support its indigenous people in government. The opposite of what we have been seeing in the U.K. is the American Elon Musk's "X," where pamphleteers (web sites), memes, parody, criticism, and satire are legal rights under the First Amendment. I was a high school reporter for the school newspaper, and the two rules are don't lie and don't criticize the school, so I learned about the First Amendment freedom, that is something that requires special authority approval in other nations. America lives in speech; the rest of the world lives in terror of speech, because popularity is at stake.

  3. Das ist genau der Grund, warum ich meinen yt client gehackt habe, um die Werbung loszuwerden.
    Sowohl Google ads als auch Sponsoren sind in der Mehrheit komplett unseriös, oft genug grenzend an Betrug.
    Ja, da sind unter anderem Werbung für VPN und Privatsphäre Apps eingeschlossen, wenn man die Werbung an den unbedarften Durchschnittsnutzer richtet. Nur der Profi versteht was die Dinger machen und wofür er sie vielleicht doch legitim einsetzen kann. Otto normalo wird einfach nur über den Tisch gezogen.

  4. Realizing who is behind pro ai content isnt hard, but anti ai content is harder, probably foreign ai-companies and nationstates. Aan ai companies who are trying to catch up

  5. China has a major surreptitious influence campaign right now that is using influencers, writers, and some members of TV and probably even radio Media to scare people about construction of AI data centers, using water and electricity consumption concerns and they’ve recently added noise worries to their scaremongering repertoire. Marxist ecofreak activist groups and others on the Left are more than happy to launder their money for them and send their freaks out to protest, for an undisclosed fee, of course..

  6. AI may accidentally help fools solve problems. That is an existential threat to capitalism. AI is not as good today as it was 1 year ago. They are nerfing AI and dropping anti-AI propaganda to protect capitalism. Rape and slavery is just too hard without it.

  7. Probably not only for or against AI. Last year's sudden surge of glowing reviews of the Thorium nuclear reactor model (so far not even constructed) very much looks like the product of a similar 'campaign'. At least in my eyes.

  8. Next time take the money, I don't care what side: then in the next video explain what they wanted you to say, it would be really interesting to see what lines get money.

  9. Someone that uses AI a lot, looking for datacenter investors.
    Its just a cool tool. Like you said, it gives me information fast af but people miss the think for yourself part.

  10. At the moment then humans are theorising about the potential threat of an Ai. Theres no actual risk yet. Just a perceived market angle that gets the mention of Ai out there in all sides of the argument. Theres no factual basis. But there is conversation to be led. Next the threat from Ai will hit beer adverts. The threat of invasion is however much more cogent but it’s not novel and it doesn’t carry the Kudos of winning an Ai debate about we’re all going to die. Neither does the weather. That climate bollocks is done now. Let’s move on and get aggressive about a non human entity. Think about it UFO anal probing. Alien donuting of cattle. Bigfoot actually existing. The Exorcist. Evolution. All still current threats but old hat.

  11. 65+% of youtube is AI GARBAGE. 80+% of comments are bots. Real authentic content is rare now. It’s all part of the programming and brainwashing and propaganda to control the minds of billions. Don’t think, just listen, absorb,

    Safer to be off-line these days. Pick your channels carefully. Doubt every new story.

  12. Any form of "power", will be misused. LLM's (fake AI) were being misused when they first came out by cheating on tests. If LLMs' can replace labor, you can bet your ass every company, especially corporations, will misuse it. You know the saying "garbage in, garbage out". If someone wanted to kill us with LLM's, they will attempt to do it. Just don't believe the LLM became intelligent or self aware to make that decision for itself.
