    I don’t understand this weird game of AI companies saying their product will do the worst thing while asking people to give more money to them. But hey, apparently it works 🤷

      1.They are trying to get regulations passed to cut the competition.

      Only they will have the resources to make sure their AI is secure.

      Can’t let anyone else run any AI.

      1. They want to pretend the AI has its own motivations and so it’s not on them when it’s used to blackmail or hack people/organizations.

        Not remotely the same lol. Human beings have been fighting each other since there were more than two people. That is never going to stop, which makes weapons profitable.

        When a company is telling you their product might go rogue and kill all humanity, that kinda puts an upper bound on being profitable

          Even worst, not ending humanity but getting sued for damages caused while almost wiping it.

          Dunno, we’ve been making nukes like crazy even since the whole nuclear winter thing was figured out.

        Sure, but those companies are selling war that is profitable. AI companies are selling the end of the world.

          Like a collection of nuclear warheads that can end the world, but if it’s your collection of nukes you can threaten others with it.
