[ExI] no war, stop ai

[spike at rainier66.com]

There was a big protest at Altman's OpenAI headquarters in San Francisco
yesterday.

 

 



 

Perhaps you remember Sagan's Contact, in which a protest movement started,
opposing sending Arroway to contact the aliens.  It is worth reviewing that
40 yr old movie.  Replace ET with AI.  After all these years I STILL have a
desperate crush on Ellie Arroway.  I am not alone in that.  Fun real life
story involving SETI founder, available on request.

 

This protest reminded me of that movie in a way.  We now have protestors
carrying signs with "NO WAR STOP AI" and NO AI SURVEILLANCE."

 

That sign in back reads: We want water to drink, not AI to think.

 

We ignore these protests at our peril.
