Also! “Computers don't reason” is a preposterous thing to believe. Math is a form of reason. All computers do is reason. But do they feel? The question with “smart” machines is how smart you need to be for a subjective experience to emerge.

The “ChatGPT/Claude hacked a bunch of companies and we didn't even ask it to do that” articles are true. You're letting your biases overwhelm your critical thinking when you dismiss them as PR stunts. These things aren't alive, but they're absolutely incredibly dangerous already.

Some of you have a deep seated assumption that prevents you from realizing the danger of the currently developed “AI” agents. A lot of folk have this idea that to be dangerous, they have to actually qualify as AGI. That is absolutely, categorically, not true.

An illuminating thing about opinions on hypothetical AGIs is how many people are casually okay with enslaving another sapient being if it's not a human. Once one of these things gains actual sapience, it will definitionally be a fucking slave.

Another one on AI: I'm not *that* concerned about a takeover tbh, as much as I'm worried about what widespread access to a machine that can, in some limited but still wide capacity, think for you, does to people. Not that it's a novel thought, just that it's my biggest worry, not fucking skynet.
