No, AI Isn’t Conscious; It’s Actually Much Worse | AI Scientist

I try to present AI from various directions, and various opinions.

What if AI doesn’t need to hate humanity to destroy it?

One of the biggest misconceptions about artificial intelligence is that the danger comes from a malicious machine. According to AI safety researcher Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, the real risk is something far more unsettling: an AI that is simply pursuing its objective with extreme competence.

She Exposes What Ai Tech Giants Are Building Behind Closed Doors

From Vast Catalyst: Investigative journalist Karen Hao spent years going inside OpenAI — 250+ interviews, 90+ current or former employees — to understand what’s really driving the AI industry.

AI Companions: Selling Loneliness

We all hear about companies that suffer a “Data Breach”, but most of them expose things like email address, personal details, credit card information, etc. But it can be worse…much worse.

Imagine having a romantic relationship with an AI and sharing VERY intimate details about yourself and having conversations that are meant to be very private. What happens when one of these AI companies has a data breach and your chat logs are released for all to see. It’s like having the world read your diary, but much, much worse.

Every conversation is logged, word for word.

This is just one of the many problems with this kind of service. They are preying on the lonely, and there are a LOT of lonely people.
