We make buildings install fire extinguishers for safety. Should AI plants be forced to install something that can shut it down in an instant?

Have we? the closest I can think of is maybe the ozone hole, and that wasnt quite world ending as far as I understand it so much as a danger to people's health.

Smallpox may be another one if the current Secretary of Health's brain worm doesn't decide that smallpox is good for your health or something.

that wasnt world ending tho. Deadly, sure, but diseases like that dont tend to just kill absolutely everyone, and we existed in spite of it for quite a long time.

[-] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, fair enough.

global warming, comets, solar flares, nearby supernovas, overpopulation, nuclear war... i dunno

[-] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

which of those have we actually done anything about? weve made some modest efforts on global warming but not enough to actually solve the issue, overpopulation was never really a serious issue in the first place, nuclear weapons still exist and still could be used someday, and the space stuff we have only the beginnings of an idea about how maybe deal with someday, except maybe asteroids and comets, which we have an idea of what to do but not the infrastructure to launch a big enough craft to redirect a big one in time.

Apparently you don't.

We've done nothing meaningful to contain global warming. Comets? That's a laugh! What do you think we have that will stop a comet from creating a huge mess if it happens to be pointed to us? (You're aware that Armageddon was a fictive movie, right?) And with solar flares and nearby supernovas you've entered the realm of delusion. What, precisely, have we done to "contain" solar flares and supernovas?

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
