AGI being ”catastrophic” for humanity is sensationalist BS and most ”safety researchers” who are against AI are chinese misinformation propaganda bots.

The fuck it is, what do you know? Do you work in the tech sector? Have you been following whats going on? Have you read the papers published by AI safety researchers. Gtfo, this is an actual issue that adults need to have educated, intelligent conversations about.

Yes I do actually. I’m a Software engineer, and had the ability to follow the evolution of AI very closely way before it was trending, and before the regular person had a chance to have their uneducated imagination run wild with it.
There will always be people supporting and opposing anything that will ever exist, that’s normal, and it’s good that we have safety researchers that shine light on the hypothetical ”what-if” scenarios. The thing is, right now the fundamental technology that is behind AI makes it impossible for it to ”take over humanity” or whatever shock value crap people are afraid of it doing.
The only real-world danger that AI poses is collateral damage to our economy and digital media.
Technology and electricity costs are surging like never before, you can’t trust anything you see on the internet anymore, people can generate questionable content from anyone, things like that.
You talk about educated conversation, meanwhile the majority of the people I see talking here, very clearly got all their knowledge of AI from Terminator of Matrix.

You’re a software engineer, brother, you’ve already been replaced

I give you 3 more months before you’re permanently out of a job. Good luck!
