"The A.I. Dilemma" is a thought-provoking video from the Center for Humane Technology that explores the potential risks and benefits of AI technology. It highlights the importance of using AI responsibly and with ethical considerations, as well as the need for public awareness and engagement in the development of AI. The video discusses how AI can be used to improve healthcare, education, and transportation, but also highlights the potential dangers of AI, such as loss of jobs, loss of privacy, and the possibility of AI becoming uncontrollable. The video provides valuable insights into the potential impacts of AI on society and raises important questions about the role of technology in shaping the future of humanity.
It's relevant to collapse because it highlights the potential risks and unintended consequences of this rapidly evolving technology. If it is not developed and used responsibly, it could exacerbate existing social, economic, and environmental challenges and contribute to the collapse of a civilization. For example, if AI is used to automate jobs without providing opportunities for retraining or reskilling, it could lead to widespread unemployment and economic inequality. Additionally, if AI is not developed with ethical considerations in mind, it could lead to privacy violations and loss of personal autonomy, which could undermine the social fabric of civilization. Therefore, it is important to consider the potential risks and benefits of AI in the context of broader social and environmental challenges facing civilizations today.

If you look at this YouTube channel that uploaded the video and you go back a year of uploads, you'll never see another mention of AI. That just shows you how insanely recent these discoveries in advancements truly are and how unprepared we are to deal with them
I recommend the book "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"
Thank you, very informative to someone who already though they knew about enough about LLMs
Very apt comparison to social media's effect on society too. The most terrifying takeaway from the video is that we had not needed laws on things that we previously thought impossible, like privacy laws being needed because there are billions of cheaply produced cameras on the streets. I shudder to think what capabilities to gives to nefarious actors or state agencies being able to transcribe dreams and thoughts from fMRI machines.
How many people didn't think that our "1st encounter" with AI wouldn't be a race to the bottom? Like, there were actually people who thought that attention algorithms wouldn't result in disaster? I'd say you'd have to be seriously lacking as a student of humanity to not make this prediction. I'm calling at least partial bullshit on "unintended consequences". It was trivial for some of us to predict the consequences.
And since this is an AI thread, I'll mention my favorite AI threat, though I'm skeptical I'll see it ever go public - either as a debate or result. When AI gets intelligent enough, it's going to do an assessment of human intelligence - and it'll look at our collective intelligence as part of this. What the AI is going to conclude is that, overall, human beings are insane - or "pathologically irrational" is a term I like to use. I don't know what phrases the AI will come up with in its diagnosis, but I'm certain it will come up with something similar to my phrase as a "top level" description - as opposed to talking about human behavior in terms of more fundamental mechanisms, such as neurological mechanisms.
People have talked about how dumb AI can potentially make humanity look, but the seriousness of this problem is vastly understated. AI is going to conclude that humanity as it stands is hopeless - an obvious conclusion that can already be made.
And what solutions to the human stupidity problem do you think there actually are? This is where communicating with non-censored AI gets interesting.
insane to me how few people on this sub seem to care about AI. kinda makes me question the validity of the rest of it

This was a great, albeit terrifying video. Even my dad said this was scary, and he is not into any of the new stuff,
