As if I didn't have nightmares enough about AI. Thanks, Dave! 🤣 This is some scary arsed stuff. AI has a place, but it needs to be contained and controlled. SIG AI is not the solution. One central all powerful AI will spell disaster, on that I agree. Given that governments are already largely compromised by corporate greed, can lobbying our pollies actually force them to legislate against this? As you mention, "agency" is key, and with many humans in positions of power their agency is to maintain their political control. They won't want to do anything that upsets their corporate donors, otherwise the ALP would not have approved the North Shelf expansion despite saying they want to fight climate change. It is sad that I may be of a generation that sees the end of humanity if this isn't halted.
This is your most frightening post yet Dave. My local member is Albo, I’m sending this off straight away! What was the name of the podcast that also discussed the Great Filter?
As foretold, Skynet becoming self aware: Terminator.

Well done David. Let’s hope people start listening! I’m sure AI is.
