Science can tell you how to clone a t-rex; humanities can tell you it's a bad idea: AI Edition

What’s that? Another AI session?

Yep, but this time I’m going to tell you why AI is a bad idea.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all bad, but AI is developing fast and furious with hardly any thought given to the consequences of doing so. Open AI and Microsoft even laid off or lost whole ethics and AI risk teams. People love to quote Zuckerberg, “Move fast and break things.” That’s all fine and dandy when the thing you’re breaking is an input field or a signup feature, but what if it’s society, what if it’s the world?

AI has far-reaching implications that we maybe haven’t even thought of yet, but let me share some of the negative implications that are already happening today. This isn’t a dystopian future I’m talking about. I’m not a harbinger of doom and gloom. I’m going to talk about real things that are happening right now and the real effects they’re having on real humans today.
