I believe there are many more optimistic pathways for AI outcomes than pessimistic.
Yet, all we hear are the depressing sounds of a sad breed of defeatists.
Do you really believe a techno revolution is going to provide more power to the top-down governments,
when every single CPU ever made has only worked to do the opposite?
This reminds me of nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z interviewing Kevin Kelly about his new book, which contains his thoughts on AI (8:00) and this fascinating bit of wisdom:
"Fear is fueled by a lack of imagination. The antidote to fear is not bravery; it looks more like imagination."

Reminded me of this amazing scene;
“I believe there are many more optimistic pathways for AI outcomes than pessimistic” …
…until there is not.
Moore's law divided by 2 would be a good rule of thumb to allow AI the ability to mature enough to show if it is going in a direction that could lead to trouble
However the biggest problem with AI is not the AI itself but rather the people making that decision.
AI wouldn't be AI if they just took inputs from humans with an always predictable output.
It's either artificially intelligent or it's just a really well thought out artificial assistant.
