Big tech proved in 48 hours with the OpenAI fiasco that, as with every other industry, ethics are gone and money wins in today’s hyper-capitalist system. Whatever promise AI ever held for being used for good is now vastly overshadowed by its likelihood to be used to increase quarterly profits for the highest bidder, along with whatever side effects that entails.

Luckily, AI is a public technology. That's why they're already trying their hand at regulatory capture. And they might just get it. Just like they're trying to destroy encryption. Support open source development, It's our only chance. Their AI will never work for us. John Carmack put it best.

AM and the other AIs from the short story "I have no mouth and I must scream" could be a reality. The deep hatred it has towards humans was never explained and could be an alignment problem. They're AGIs made to wage wars after all.

I really recommend robert miles videos. He's been uploading videos about AI research safety for 6 years, when the most powerful AI were in millions of parameters and vastly under trained.
