47. I really suggest we not worry.

May 27

Late stage growth capitalism will kill us all before M5/HAL/Colossus/ChatGPT gets the upper hand.

Meanwhile...

The first victims of an unstoppable AI will be those who are too poor and uneducated to notice it happening.

the second victims will be those who rely on it for their comfort, wealth and wellbeing

The final victims will be those who have all the money and add no value to the planet.

Once the AI becomes self-sustainable, that.s when we need to worry.

Today, even if the logic or other daemons are faulty, we can still pull the plug on the server farm... But that won't happen, because it's making the last set of victims a lot of money.
