alt Hacker NewsWhen Astra and Fable stop making absolutely brain dead mistakes on simple tasks and not a moment sooner because I’m grounded in reality. Are you aware tech bros have been saying this same thing about every AI advancement since the 1950s? The reason being every AI researcher deep down wants to believe they’re God. This happens to also be why they’re some of the most insufferable people.

Whatever AI people have been saying for the last 70 years, AI capabilities have improved stupendously in the last 10 years and there is no sign of the rate of improvement slowing down. I would like to deny it, but I can't.

Trope circa 1950 not true, because of trope circa even earlier...
Surely AI can be dangerous before the point it becomes completely perfect. Very imperfect people manage to do a ton of damage already.
