While I have mostly negative feelings toward AI and would rather remove any potential layers of obfuscation so that the public can better see the reality firnwhat it is, the powerful need to be held to account directly. Targeting AI for this kind of thing is just a distraction Putting the focus on AI alone is what they’d want.
It’s true for every type of societal issue. Let’s just assume that for every problem, number one thing that we need to do is eat the rich hold the powerful accountable. But while we figure out how to do that, let’s at least not ignore the actual smaller problem that we’re dealing with.
A house is on fire because of poor regulations and corruption, poor regulations and corruption needs to be dealt with for sure. A house is on fire though, so it’s also important to deal with.
I agree and also disagree. I’m not saying ignore it. Just be aware that there will almost always be an array distracting “smaller problems”. I just advise we not spend so much time focusing on smaller problems that the root cause is ignored. Just don’t let them be chaff.
