I don't. Instead I pray and hope that our Sun gives us a Carrington event and ends this... "civilization".

Reporter: Mr. Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilization?

Gandhi: It would be a good idea.

Some people worry that researchers may create an artificial intelligence that is genuinely intelligent. They worry that, cleverer than humans, it will be able to manipulate and scheme and get to do whatever it wants to. And what exactly will that be? Scary!

I have a different concern. Researchers think that they are working on "artificial intelligence". Actually they are working on "artificial looks intelligent to humans". We are going to end up with computer programs that are a kind of super-politician. They look really clever to normies but are actually stupid. Then we put them in charge because they understand what makes a human think a computer is intelligent. Then things go to shit because that is the only thing that they understand.

Yeah, I worry that AI could become our new overlord if we let it.

No, it's a long, probably impossible way from what we can do now to True AI that could actually be a life ending event.

Machine learning is shit. Go try Google Lens for just about anything. Yeah, it's handy, but it's not nearly as good as a human.

The algorithms we write just don't hit what they call the Singularity, the point when it becomes self aware. It's just code. Like Frankenstein's monster but we don't have that spark of life we can inject.

AI might be used for some dastardly shit, but we aren't going to create Skippy the beer can.

my bread toaster oven contains a computer chip that processes artificial intelligence agendas.

last weekend, my toast smiled and winked at me.

that is some really deep shit man...

have you ever been winked at by a piece of buttered toast?

i foolishly play along with the toast, i winked back.

and now there are four loafs of bread on my kitchen table, and they are blackmailing me. THEY MAKE ME PERFORM IN PORNO VIDEOS WITH MY HOUSEPETS AND MY GOLDFISH.

never trust the brown toast.

BROWN TOAST DONT MATTER.
