> The researcher-turned-educator-turned-investor

This is enough qualification to discard the opinion of this individual on any topic, but especially artificial intelligence. To wit:

> "I think for a lot of AI models, the benefit is so much greater than the harm," he said. "The death of any single person is absolutely tragic," Ng added, referencing recent suicides that allegedly involved the use of AI. "At the same time, I am nervous about one or two anecdotes leading to stifling regulations."

This guy is just here to water down the kool-aid so everyone can take a drink.

oldputput•1mo ago
I used to be freely optimistic about humanity, now it’s becoming more and more forced. The percentage of people who are naturally kool-aid drinkers appears to have remained fairly constant over time, but AI will change that, the shadows will multiply. There’ll be shadows of shadows. Shadows all day. Shadows in the way, even when you’re searching for the light, trying to do right.

What are you on about?

This is the guy, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Ng

DetectDefect•1mo ago
Giga-rich dude with massive AI investments extols the virtues of AI while minimizing obvious harms. Are we seriously past the point of questioning such an obvious conflict of interest?
nis0s•1mo ago
Guns are an equalizer for physical strength, and AI could be an equalizer for mental capability. That’s essentially what many people are saying when they talk about the benefits of AI, maybe without even realizing that’s what they mean. People aren’t very aware or reflective, in general.

Now put those two together and you get the Second Variety.
nis0s•1mo ago
Or you maybe get something like X-Men, where abilities are akin to something like magic.

Yes, people and life will always suck. No, that doesn’t mean that we should give up and not do things.

Advocate for responsibility, like implementing rules against drunk drinking. Don’t advocate for removing roads altogether.

Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach. Those who cannot teach, invest.

Well, it was administrate, not invest in the original version, but isn't investing just administrating capital?

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-Al is? Wrong direction.

I want Al to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for Al to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

Soon depends on how many years you are talking but things will probably go quite quickly now we have fast hardware and algorithms that almost work.
aussieguy1234•1mo ago
Id liken the smartest AI to a savant like 10 year old that has multiple university degrees.

Smart, but they're still 10, still naive and easily misled and they can't be trusted to make real decisions.

They'll need an Adult in the loop if ever doing real work.
