>> "The technology for “dangerous” AI doesn’t actually exist"

What? Did you not see the Netflix documentary on AI for military use? They literally have AI's that can beat fighter pilots in dog fighting.

Just because it isn't walking around having coffee and chatting you up, doesn't mean it isn't already very advanced and deadly.

Dog fighting AI isn’t going to end the world. When people talk about the “risks” associated with AI they’re talking about an AI that spirals out of control and destroys civilization. Something something infinite paper clip optimizer.

It’s scifi themed end-times cosplay.

I get that.

But the post was just saying it seems 'dangerous'. It is already 'dangerous'.

Yes, it will probably become even 'more dangerous'.

I'd disagree that many people agree on common definitions of risk. Some people think autonomous drones that can beat humans in a dogfight is already too far, others are holding out for some paper clip optimizers before getting worried.

You included 'world ending' as the definition of risk, others have lower bar than that.
