    I wish that even one of them invested into something that would actually help the society instead

    I could be totally wrong, but these kinds of billionaire class investments sound to me like a big money laundering scheme.

    Just like “art” investment.

      Some of them are, lot of con artists are just scamming investors (e.g. WeWork). But ppl like Altman actually beleive they are changing the world for the better, why they also have the skills and the funds to do so - I think that is scarier

      They know exactly what they are doing. They are all desperate to be in charge of our new AI powered overlords.

      AI doesn’t benefit anyone on this planet whatsoever except wealthy people at the end of the day. It only serves to oppress the majority of the populace otherwise, one way or another.

        The way it currently exists 100%, if the goal for using AI wasn’t profit above all it could be extremely useful for common humans. It probably never will be that but it could potentially be

        Agree with your comment. It seems most people are conservative about stuff like this due to fear.

        I personally want the AI and the cool robot stuff, without hesitation. Our problem (imo) is our current corrupt, exploitative capitalist system. We need regulation that protects the entire populace, not just the billionaire and corporate leadership class. All these advancements should absolutely be explored, but for the benefit of all, and protections for everyone.

        How we fix this though, I’m cynical. Which is why I respect people who are mostly afraid of the possible negative consequences.

        I want Rosie the robot from the Jetsons, who vacuums and does the ironing. Instead we will probably get the RoboCop and the Terminator.

        No, but there definitely should be a billion safeguards on it, and they should in no way be under the direct control of those already in positions of power

          Hard to build that many safeguards on something so new, safeguards need to develop with it. We’ve got asimov etc of course but thats not “billions”

      Sci-fi robots are still teasing the minds of many. Like hoverboards. And Mars colonization. Although many of them are pretty unpragmatic and consist of more problems that they’d solve.

      Because they want to replace the complexities and pitfalls of human relationships with something compliant that they can fuck without it asking for anything in return.

    I know we’re probably far from that but damn I I just want a robot to do the dishes. That would honestly be valuable and I’d be willing to pay a lot for it.

    Problem is this robot will probably be on some subscription and soon with ads.

    “Hey Robot please do the dishes”

    “Sure - but have you considered that you’d get cleaner dishes if you bought this detergent?”

    If I could buy it once and own it though, that’d be great.

    I hate to give car example however do you see “legs” on cars/bicycles? Just imagine a running car.

    I would say they secretly want to replace infantry however nationalist humans are cheaper to produce.
