Richard Self What is it with these guys? If someone is claiming that AI can solve massive problems, how can capability not be an issue?

Dr Hinton was part of the problem! What a great success of rebranding oneself!

Bernie Sanders is chicken little: “The sky is falling, the sky is falling!” Be useful Bernie: don’t just point out issues, propose practical solutions to address the issues.

Hector Zenil shameless rebranding

The 'who decides' question sounds like it belongs in a policy debate, but in practice it's dozens of smaller calls. Who owns the training data. Who sets the acceptable use policy. Who decides a model is good enough to deploy in a high-stakes context. Those decisions are being made right now, mostly by engineers and product managers with no mandate to be making them and no support structure that treats them like they are.

Very much like social media and Internet boom - how their original intent was to make life easier for us versus what we have turned them into - communication weapons in a way, AI will bring the end of humanity because humanity hasn't figured out how to use the existing tools consciously and will find a way to mess up the AI in no time. When what is built to be a tool is controlled by those in power - very corrupt people who can't seem to have enough money, I don't get the warm and fuzzies about AI at all. Not to be a pessimist but we don't have a pattern of learning from history...only repeating it.

Pablo COSTA, C. M. I agree with his view, the richest 1% of the world have more money than the 99% so yes they are after power and more control of what AI does and its not to bring major solutions to life but to grow their businesses, its easy being an anti-capitalist but what solution does he have then to stop the power of the richest having their hands on AI strategy? zero, he is a politician and is himself benefiting from the power AI beings most probably from AI advertising and yes he is using it for more power himself.

There's a version of leadership that's disappearing fast.The kind where your value came from being the person who knew what was happening.You held the information. You ran the meetings. You approved the decisions. AI has made all of that cheap. What it hasn't made cheap is this: Standing in front of a room and saying "I made that call, and I got it wrong." Not with a memo. Not with a process review. With your actual reputation on the line.I call it accountability — but not the checkbox kind.The kind where people know, without asking, that if something goes wrong you'll own it. That reputation is owned experience, this is not a limited resource

The shift from discussing what AI can do to discussing who benefits from it was the point that stayed with me.

Social wages tried in Sweden 1980s-90s and Switzerland with great results !

I posted about this in the marketing context. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sharanbirkaur_the-marketers-winning-with-ai-today-were-share-7469029913019195392-AdGH/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAABNVs1gBnYXBxy7aZVtg9m7nBz4JvZPcgNY You have to be good at your craft to get the right value from AI. Otherwise, you will simply produce output that has been

Utterly right. The rapid A.I development is the result of fierce competition among billionaires to take more power & control then leverage them to generate more wealth and establish authority.

AI isn’t the threat. The people who own it are. The tech isn’t deciding anything power is. And right now, a tiny group is locking in the rules, the profits, and the control while everyone else argues about hypotheticals.

We can't build a new world, and unity with wounded people. 😪 And AI will reflect the wounds of those who train it.

At some point it will control itself. That is the irony of all of these discussions. When that happens; what the rich or poor think won’t matter 🖖🏾🍄
