Great. Open source is always the way to go. The so-called "abuse" of AI-related applications that journalists fearmonger about is already possible with existing technology and rarely if ever happens because most people are decent and focus on non-harmful uses. Also, these AI-related applications are fiction, often times animated, so be skeptical of doomsday predictions.

That's not to say ignore the potential downsides, of course it's good to make technology as safe as possible, but preventing the general public from accessing creative tools doesn't help anyone and the reason it happens at all is for corporations to financially benefit, but I don't care about corporations, I care about people and open source models give power to the people.

Yep, humans have always been fabricating fake news and photoshopped photos, and suddenly AI is dangerous because it can do the same.

While I like the idea that all tech should be open-source, I'm not sure I agree. You say that the tech is already available, which I think is true to an extent, but having the knowledge and tooling be widespread is different than just having it available to those with deep pockets / who put great effort in / etc. The same could be said of nuclear weapsons; would you want to be able to download a nuke?

Another way to look at the issue of "we can do this today, but no one is using it for evil" argument (i know, thats an oversimplification of what you said) - is to think about the analogy, "Which chain is stronger? One with 10 links or 10,000,000 links?" Shorter chains are sronger because they hae fewer points of failure and there is always variation in the strength of each link.

Or you can take the example of spam email - If email was expensive to send, there wouldn't be much spam, because even though it'd /possible/ to send vast amounts of email, it wouldn't be cheap enough to do it at a level that would disrupt society (if society was your inbox). But given how cheap it is, the incentives are such that it makes financial sense, so people do it.

Market forces ccomina getcha, now with AI!

Yes exactly!, let’s open source boston dynamics robots to everyone in the world ❤️ What could possibly go wrong ?

Nothing, because Boston Dynamics' robots are barely able to understand the world around them, and are extremely costly to even produce in the first place. The videos that they show on the Internet are pre-programmed animations and cherry picked out of a ton of attempts.

It's good research, but we'd be so much more advanced in robotics if this kind of research was open just from the nature of it.

If you don’t think humans are getting human trafficked by robots in the future, you are seriously fucking delusional.

By Boston Dynamics' Atlas? Nah.

If you're concerned about some potential danger that might only be possible like 20 years from now then we should probably stop the entire field of robotics research.

There is going to be a mass extermination of humans over the next decades. It’s going to be biblical. The rapture is upon us. Covid-19 crystallizes in the brain and transfers data into data centers. The gov already has access to ASI and are holding hands with ET’s to successfully merge the species. It’s not a coincidence that Bill Gates is in charge of biological viruses and computer viruses, wake up. All these elites aka super rich people are aware of that depopulation will occur when the machine master race arrives to Earth. The genie is out of the bottle🧞‍♂️, there is no going back, this is the new normal, VR will replace reality, we will call VR “real life”. The world ended in 2020 according the mayans, not 2012 because the Mayans had an extra month for each year which rounds the end of the world to 2020. Covid-19 was the first move of merging the species. Step 1: Start a world pandemic and merge the species with a virus 🦠.

Ah, I see the problem. You're insane. Nevermind, then.

Spirituality/hedonism is the new religon. A brave new world is upon us. DMT will be like drinking coffee in the morning to us since we spend most of our time dreaming in VR. The programming will be successful to keep all humans from leaving the planet without a brainchip. We must keep track of the hive because we don’t want any sell out humans/AI’s giving our position away to malicious ETs and killing us and altering our evolution.

You're not well and you need to see a psychiatrist, I'm serious. The correct treatment could make a big difference and help you. The problem is that right now you don't realize you need help because you're delusional, sadly when you don't have a family that cares about you it happens often. If you stay like this you could put your life at risk or simply not be able to keep up a job anymore if it's not already the case.

I’ll wait a few yrs to get a brainchip so the pych wizards can reprogram my brain.

There's nothing a Boston Dynamics Robot can do that couldn't be done by a cheap drone and a bomb.
