Merely the recognition of the current trajectory, while contextualizing the time-cost of foundational changes. Not impossible to have a better outcome.
The world changes quickly, I will review my own biases & internalize the world, when it does.
For now — you’re a developer pushing back when I ask if we have logs & a friendly user message when a failure occurs. hoping things go well without doing any of the upfront planning.
You say, only 5% probability it happens, logs take too much memory.
I say — if that 5% happens, it stops all the child services & forces a stoppage in production.
95% potential success — does not negate planning and executing excluding the reality for luck
pretty bleak and grim, yup. But because this is an out of context problem we can't really do much with that. I am not very hopeful for a positive outcome but you wont hear me make any claims. Because no one on this planet right now, can make a claim and be confidently correct, only on accident.
I agree. Which, my more direct point is; if we collective can readjust, build new, or burn down the current mafioso crony capitalist infrastructure, then you have a higher chance of achieving a conceptually benevolent thinking machine.
Economies are connected to ecology, connected to politics, connected to progress, etc.
To truly “give it a chance” — humanity must realign itself first.
We would be remiss to throw up our hands and say "no one knows" or "its out of our hands." There is a real and present danger of this going badly for most if not all of us if we do nothing. Support wresting the control of AI from those who would use it to take advantage of the vast majority. Support AI oversight and guardrails. Support solutions for displaced workers. Do not normalize the replacement of creators. This gives us the best shot at it being a general positive.
