Oh those dastardly Chinese people, censoring their AI. You'd never catch American tech bros doing that. Why, only yesterday I came across this example from Google's AI.

Also, anyone asking an AI questions like these (the one below, or about Tiananmen Square) instead of just Googling is really not getting this. I'm less worried about the tech itself, and more worried about people who think it's actually thinking about things and speaking to them rather than just guessing what word comes next.

I think AI is a good thing overall, but the bad thing about it is the risk of people not doing their own critical thinking and forming their own opinions as to whether the information they have actually received is right, wrong, biased etc

I remember being told at school that just because something is in print, it doesn’t mean it is correct.

The amount of information and disinformation nowadays is astronomical with media and social media and it makes it really difficult to work out what is actually correct and why the information is being provided.

I think AI is good in providing facts quickly but I hope it doesn’t stop people doing their own analysis, forming their own opinions or fact checking.

As Einstein famously said, 99% of facts on the internet are made up.

I am seriously worried about the race between getting to my state pension age (67 by then) in 2035, and AI taking my job and putting me on the scrap heap beforehand.



It is starting to become a big fear. Burn it all down.

Think of those of us that won't get there until 2036.

saw a comment by an AI Agent developer just now, saying they have 36 people involved in building it. currently there's a huge build of data centres and power generation to run the AI systems. Sam Altman (of Open AI) speculates spending trillions on AI.

there's quite a lot of employment to go around for a while.

Stephen Hawking’s thoughts on AI are interesting

“Whereas the short-term impact of AI depends on who controls it, the long-term impact depends on whether it can be controlled at all.”
This might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but Hawking says dismissing it as such “would be a mistake, and potentially our worst mistake ever.”
Compared to robots, we humans are pretty clunky. Limited by the slow pace of evolution, it takes us generations to iterate. Robots, on the other hand, can improve upon their own design a lot faster, and soon, they’ll probably be able to do so without our help. Hawking says this will create an “intelligence explosion” in which machines could exceed our intelligence “by more than ours exceeds that of snails.”

Erm, perhaps have a look at the BBC story I posted with that comment? Or you could google it and find similar stories from other news outlets. Or you could just have seen the film at some point in your life and realised that the Ming the Merciless character is an incredibly common and obvious racial stereotype.

This isn't a controversial or debatable point, everyone acknowledges that character as being a racist caricature along the lines of Fu Manchu. If you don't see it, you might want to ask yourself some searching questions as to why you don't see what the rest of the world does.
