AI doesn’t even exist yet. We can’t even stop a catastrophe we haven’t created yet.
Here’s the issue I have with your position… AI is such a generic term it’s difficult to have a fulfilling conversation using it but in my field a form of AI like machine learning is going to eliminate an entire sector of manufacturing… Boutique precision machined components have been thought as an impenetrable wall against AI but it’s basically the same lackluster defense used not long ago about Generative images couldn’t produce hands properly… It’s not a matter of if but when.
Imo, the catastrophe happens when a successful AI scales. Or perhaps rather how suddenly a successful AI model will bury the existing system into irrelevancy. Boeing and most aerospace manufacturers have a machinist union but none of that will protect against a future where people are no longer necessary.
I don’t think it’s wrong to have AI eliminate jobs but it shouldn’t come without warning. I think it’s rather forward looking to be monitoring ongoing AI projects and establish contingencies for folks who will become displaced by it’s rapid spread.
But, let me guess, the billionaires don’t want them to.
Bevause they are doing something for the climate?
Ohh okay, so the AI is free to prosper 😁
I’d like to ignore it until it goes away too, but I don’t think that’s an effective strategy for either issue.
So do nothing until it’s too late? got it…
Problem resolved itself… ChatGPT is down.
So none at all…
AI: “Put glue in your pizza.” UN: “Ow no! It’s sentient.”
So… a convention every 4 years?
I heard they’re drafting a resolution to sheepishly ask the US ‘why the big cars?’
“We should do something about this” - COPXX
Ineffective policies for the poor’s that has a negligible effect while giant corporations make billions and exacerbate the problem?
Sounds same as always. Maybe they’ll do it now with a sense of urgency?
So, do nothing for 40 years while it gets progressively worse and allow countries to sign useless feel good things like the Paris Agreement?
Each one of these “initiatives” is just another 20 year delay in policy shift.
« creating an AI fund to back projects in these [poorer] nations, establishing AI standards and data-sharing systems, and creating resources such as training to help nations with AI governance. »
So basically burn money and energy on some hallucinating algorithm should be as important as investing in green energy and reducing CO2 levels. That makes sense. Like, yeah, totally onboard. What could go wrong?
those ai projects will be countering the climate change projects! government at its usual
IE regulatory capture and soothing bullshit?
Ugh, my issue is AI is a pandas box, we already opened it. Now it’s an argument of regulate technology and banning people from doing certain things on their own devices like running foss LLMs, like if we do that we can also allow bans of end to end encryption
Yeah, but those pandas sure are cute.
But then they got into that damn box, and now we’re doomed.
my issue is AI is a pandas box, we already opened it.
The big difference is that there is no “AI” box, it’s never been opened, and nothing has happened except wasting energy and foolish money.
Upvoted for “Panda’s box”…lmao!
It’s Pandoras box.
“AI” is a scam that’s contributing to planetary destruction. But it’s nowhere near a problem on the same scale. This kind of political theater only fuels the “AI” BS.
Given the amount of electricity training and running all these LLMs requires, they might, like cryptocurrency, become drivers of climate change as they cause polluting generators to be built or unmothballed.
