The threats from AI are real Sen. Bernie Sanders

[GReedDiamond]

I pretty much agree with everything Bernie has to say about this.

YMMV?

1. The politicians and experts have known for years this was coming.

They planned nothing. Unless the plan was to transfer the wealth of our country to a few billionaires and decrease the population of this country to 100 million people instead of current population of over 330 million. I took Electro-Mechaical Engineering with concentration in robotics and programming. We discussed this with our professor. That was in 1985.

2. That happens to be the population number desired by Stephen Miller of America (all white of course)...

as said reportedly by Trump as reported in the NY Times earlier this year.

3. I had similar discussions at the same time (fall of 1984) ...

... with my Industrial Engineering professor. He pulled me into the office after I submitted one of my essays.

4. It was far more rapid than expected though

I remember doing a search around 7 or 8 years ago, asking "when will AI come out?" The top experts on average said around 2040, with a few saying possibly never. Something rapidly pushed it up, blindsiding everyone.

5. I just saw a very poorly AI generated vid of Rachel Maddow.. It was obvious and you know they are gonna get better. nt

6. I've been posting here about AI's risks for years, trying to make DUers aware that this is harmful tech.
