    I don’t mind AI. It is simply a reflection of whoever is in charge of it. Unfortunately, we have monsters who direct humans and AI alike to commit atrocities.

    We need to get rid of the demons, else humanity as a whole will continue to suffer.

        I mean yes, but it can be VERY useful in these narrow laboratory use cases

            Why shouldn’t they have long term benefits for researchers?

            Reminds me a bit of when CRISPR got big, people were worried to no end about potential dangers, designer babies, bioterrorism (“everybody can make a killer virus in their garage now”) etc. In reality, it has been a huge leap forward for molecular biology and has vastly helped research, cancer treatment, drug development and many other things. I think machine learning could have a similar impact. It’s already being used in development of new drugs, genomics, detection of tumours just to name a few

      If it wasn’t exclusively used for evil it would be a wonderful thing.

      Unfortunately we also have capitalism. So everything has to be just the worst all the time so that the worst people alive can have more toys.

        Thing is, those terrible people don’t enjoy the everything that they already own, and don’t understand that they are killing cool things in the crib. People make inventions and entertain if they can…because it is fun, and they think they got neat things to show the world. Problem is, prosperity is needed to allow people to have the luxury of trying to create.

        The wealthy are murdering the golden geese of culture and technology. They won’t be happier for it, and will simply use their chainsaw to keep killing humanity in a desperate wish of finding happiness.
