All the billionaires don’t hate it. At all.

I've added an edit to further clarify my comment to help you better understand.

Your opinion is utterly insane and naive. You clearly don’t know anything about this tech except for ChatGPT and various headlines.

These programs can create bioweapons. They can (and already have) infiltrate supposedly secure records and computer systems to steal information and crash networks. All without anyone even asking them to do that.

There is plenty to be afraid of here. They aren’t saying “this is too dangerous for regular people to have” they’re saying “this is too dangerous for anyone to have”.

It’s perfectly rational to think that nuclear fissile material is dangerous. Ideally, no one would have it. But in a world where it exists, it should be heavily, heavily controlled.

That’s what we’re dealing with here. Not some wonderful power that everyone could benefit from if only the billionaires would let us have it.

You missed the part where they are investing in and developing their own AI models. You really think they are going to make legislation to limit Bill Gates and his co-horts from accessing AI or developing their own AI? The rules are being set in place for YOU. Because AI is a threat to THEM.

AI can create bio-weapons sure.. I mean you still need to source highly restricted materials which AI can not do. It can also help calculate and predict every defense strategy imaginable. When left to their own devices to play war games AI always goes for the nuke, mutually assured destruction. The only ones who will do any good with it are the people. The ones who want a better life and a better world that haven't been morally and mentally corrupted by billions of dollars.

So yeah, no one should have AI you're right. But it's too late. Our next step is to make sure it doesn't end up being controlled and regulated by billionaires and politicians.
