I have seen this argument a bunch of times and I am confused by what exactly you mean. Everyone is influencing the future of humanity (and in that sense gambling with it?) What gives company X the right to build feature Y? What gives person A the right to post B (for all you know it can be the starting point of a chain of actions that bring down humanity)

Are you suggesting that beyond a threshold all actions someone/something does should be subject to vote/review by everyone? And how do you define/formalise this threshold?

>What gives a bunch of people way smarter than me permission to gamble with the future of humanity?

To ask the question is to answer it.

Every time someone drives they gamble with humanity in a much more deadly activity. No one cares.

There might be government regulation on AI pretty soon.. it's not crazy to think GPUs and GPU tech would be treated as defense equipment some day

Presumably the same as always. They are rich and we are not.

> gamble with the future of humanity

what in the world are you people talking about, it's a fucking autocomplete program
