    It’s unfortunately not that and there is a wider context here. I personally wish it was all flimflam or that the development naturally hits a roadblock. The problem is there’s no evidence currently to suggest either of those statements are true of the current approach towards AI. I’m saying this as a computational mathematics academic. I would much prefer for us all that you were right. So far though I only have reason to have extreme worries about what is happening and what is being built. There really should be a global armistice on AI development, but there won’t be.

        I have noticed a particular vibe here. I’m really into the mission statement of the fediverse and there’s not many other reddit duplicates on the fediverse. I get that there’s some sort of consensus here and that people generally dislike views aka will downvote people to hell the mob disagrees with. I do believe though there’s space here for differing opinions and amicable debate. It would be sad if it became just another lifeless echo chamber of a bunch of people who all agree with one another about everything.

        For the most part I’ve appreciated our discourse. Obviously we disagree and that’s alright, in fact it’s refreshing. I hope you feel the same.
