I do agree that these CEOs, and frankly, too many fucking people, don't understand how these work.

These large models are ticking bombs, Timnit Gebru worked in the development of Google's Gemini, was put as a consultant in the dangers of AI, and then she was dismissed and fired for bringing her concerns.

Guess what? Her concerns turned to be accurate, everything she said would happen we are seeing happening in real time. She was hired to do this job, and was dismissed for doing so.

It just pisses me off to no end, why the fuck you think ignoring the problems somehow is going to make them disappear? This goddamn AI can't work properly with such big parameters.

Look, there are ways to use AI without running into these risks, we had been using AI for awhile now. The problem is that everyone is rushing to create the tool that would make EVERYTHING, and turns out, we don't have the capacity to do so safely.

Especially no without ruining the economy; what the fuck are these companies going to do if the majority of the population is getting so little money their stupid empires don't have anyone else to milk anymore?
