Technological development and the future of our civilization is in control of a handful of idiots.

I don't really agree that this is the biggest issue, for me the biggest issue is power consumption.

[–] CitricBase@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn't intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.

The AI companies don't seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn't they, when power is so cheap.

"Biggest" maybe. But it's not the only relevant problem. I think AI is gonna pan out like social media did, which is to say it's gonna be a shit show for society. And that would be the same no matter who owned it.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Both AI and social media are a shit show because it's owned by a few people.

Unironically, the best social media is Fetlife. Not that it's perfect by any means--not by far--but it is designed to facilitate bringing people together.
