    While I appreciate them talking in good faith, all these articles that warn against misusing technology really sound out of touch from our reality.

    It’s capitalism, of course it would be misused cause of our economic incentives.

    When it comes to AI, you either don’t like it or are trying to make money from it, no one expects it to actually work so the entire point is moot.

    This is the last paragraph of the article:

    AI seems to present a spectacular new slate of opportunities and threats. But, in essence, much of what was true before AI remains so now. Human greed and desire for greater control over nature and other people may lead toward paths of short-term gain. But, if you want a good life when all’s said and done, learn to live well within limits. Live with honesty, modesty, and generosity. AI can’t help you with that.

    Yeah no shit
