Karl Bode nails it again: "But I keep repeating these two points because they're foundationally true and get lost in the hype: your software has not gained human-level awareness, and the real problem with 'AI' is shitty human beings and ordinary human ignorance...We are very much are at risk, but this isn't really a story about Skynet, it's a story about corruption and ordinary human greed. It's a story about a country full of political dipshits dead set on self-immolation across a wide variety of fronts, while a bumbling kakistocracy dismantles all remaining public interest guardrails...If you're not talking candidly about how corruption hollowed out the regulatory state, with the full and enthusiastic support of the fascism-enabling tech industry (both the executives and the employees that only just now somehow found the courage to speak), you're not really talking honestly about AI accountability at all.
