What happens when they grow a brain that has paranoid delusions and wants to destroy us all? What happens when there's a shortage? Can people sell their loved ones to data centers for a high premium, rather than a burial or cremation?
What the fuck?? Did you read the article?
Yeah just now lol, I was being over the top and cynical when I wrote that. Like how whenever shit like this gets brought up, usually there's that one person who brings up, "the matrix." No but when they run out of stem cells, they'll turn on an artificial womb and make more fetal tissue to work with and then people will go up in arms over the fact that, "human life," is being used to support data centers when in reality it's just the cells that can be influenced.
and I mean those are also good questions. like will I be able to get a premium for giving a loved ones body to data centers for battery, rather than cremation or burial? what would happen if they decided to make mini brains and they created a brain that has mental illness or delusions and decides humans are no longer needed?
imagine them growing multiple personality brains and one day it's on manic and we're all in a happy economy and the next it's depressive and we're wondering if the bombs will drop. that's a genuine fear because of how fast people are driving ai expansion they're not 100% thinking about the repercussions.
FUCK MAN!!!! IT TOOK UNTIL THE CREATORS OF ANTHROPIC SAID THERE'S 10 YEARS LEFT FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE A FUCK!!!! So, I worry and think way too far ahead of what could possibly go wrong.
