Re: Open letter urging to pause AI

This is a more realistic assessment.
Interesting.
"Make their use illegal. Tax them so heavily that they become economically
invalid."
This seems plausible.
Once again, the politics of factions and tactical advantage.
AI confers some benefit on company X; company X confers some benefit on me; I
support company X in its use of AI.Balanced against "many or dis-benefitted and
disenfranchised by the AI at company X".
So company X gets sneaky and doesn't push the effective redundancies and the
knowledge harvesting from users, too far.
(I know, the algorithms don't learn from the knowledge you input ... or do they
in the end ... ?)......

This letter speaks for itself.

I may not want to put it as bluntly as Elon Musk, who cautioned against
unregulated AI which he called "more dangerous than nukes", but when Nick
Bostrom, the late Stephen Hawking, and dozens, no hundreds of international
experts, scientists and industry leaders start ringing the bell, is is time to
pause and reflect.
Every aspect of daily life, every industry, education systems, academia and even
our cognitive rights will be impacted.
I would also like to point out that some science fiction authors have done a
great job on very accurately predicting a dystopian future ruled by technology,
perhaps the greatest of them all being Philip K. Dick.
But there are dozens of other authors as well and they all give a fairly good
impression what awaits us if we do not regulate and control the further
development of AI now.
