How people think AI is going to kill them: terminator robots.How AI is actually going to kill them: by destroying their habitat and drinking all their water.

@aral will be used to justify crimes against minorities as well, after all AI said it was best from some opaque utalitarian–inspired reasoning disguising racism, seksism, ...

@aral the greatest trick AI ever pulled was creating the cultural perception that it would be the „slaving machines“ that kills us, instead of the indifferent wills of the money-men who built the machines… And of course, now they keep recycling the same fears with classism and racism. And so many sci-fi writers have been blatantly uninformed and ignorant Ito these issues throughout.

@aral Don't count out the killer robots. They are coming along nicely. Just because they will be deployed by humans and not by SkyNet and won't be self-replicating doesn't make them not a threat.All those "human in the loop" systems are being developed with the knowledge that it would be more profitable to take the human out of the loop at some point. Palantir drools about it.#AI

@aral That’s the 20-40 year plan.For the average person, they’re more likely to have their life threatened by an AI:- Rejecting their medical needs - organ recipient, insurance (US)- Deciding that cost cutting measures on the product factory floor are worth the risk to safety relative to likely blowback- Rejecting their job application- Devaluing the only work they are able to do, being disabled- Stealing time in productivity’s name from others who might have seen your pain

@aral There's also the people who'll die to it but not by anything bombastic but because it decided to cut some bureaucratic thread that unravels someone's life entirely.Making a massive misinformation generator means it'll misinform in small and big ways, some very noticeable but others will be subtle enough to cause some real damage.

@aral Remember when we thought search engines would use more all the electricity and water?Then it was social media. It’s not that the technology is unproblematic — glorified predictive text of dubious origin being wildly and widely misused to support a fantasist tech bubble — but there is a pattern here.

@aral there is a push toward using AI to "automate away" jobs involving critical thinking like contract negotiation and decion making. The problem is that humans are much more driven by human emotion than purely rationale. Ever noticed that many people who claim to be "data driven" are actually balls of emotion.

@aral or moral panics are recycled when they’re proven distractions.OpenAI’s Superalignment team was pushing AI as existential threat when distraction was needed from IP… complications…, labour abuses, and bias. Now that grounding is creating new issues like impersonation risk and exploit vulnerabilities, suddenly we’re supposed to be looking away at the water?It’s too convenient and too recurring.

@aral Exactly! I had a discussion on AI with a colleague and when I said I see an overall danger in AI, without being specific, he just threw in the argument„yeah killer robots are terrible but we can regulate them, see AI is just a tool like any other“…It’s like you say. People have been effectively gaslighted that THAT is the real danger.

@aral or by blocking all their attempts to get help, as it's already being used by department of social services to process SNAP paperwork, social security paperwork, new patient paperwork for many medical clinics & some banks.*If you can't use any money & can't get any medical care, then you're not going to survive very long in our society.
