        People are already completely lifechangingly manipulated digitally. Ai is like a dagger in the heart of honest humanity.

        It’s dark enough already and people don’t even understand how manipulated society is… it’s like we are going to completely hand humanity over to people that take advantage of us. It’s past the point of no return already just as it is with internet/media.

        It’s wild to me people actually are defending these nations and their lifestyles… just handing life over to an entity of control. …and then some claim to be living for god at the same time. Government is a false god the same as the marketed spirituality religion provides. People are so scared of their own existence and lack faith in a true understanding of what “god” actually is and the lessons of universal law that they trade their honest authentic life for those two things.

        All good is sucked from human growth in the current lifestyle that modern humanity lives for. All that we’ve created could good. …but we don’t live with a foundation that keeps tht in the forefront of our human culture.

        Its like we were naive to rely on our religions and governments and because of that the entire foundation of honest humanity is tainted and rotting.

    New Pew research shows striking differences between AI experts’ views on AI and the general public’s views. On jobs, 21% of the public rate AI’s impact as positive, for AI experts, it’s 73%. On the economy, the corresponding figures are 21% and 69%. One of the few areas of convergence? Few on either side (9% & 11%) think AI will be good for elections.

    Another interesting area of convergence? AI experts and the public mostly agree about which types of jobs are at risk from AI. One of the few differences is in self-driving AI. The public mostly thinks trucker jobs are safe from AI, but the experts don’t.

    However, most of this polling reveal differences. Only 24% of the public think AI will personally benefit them. That figures is 76% for the AI experts. The big problem here? It’s the AI experts, and their interests, in the driving seat when it comes to legislation around AI.

    The AI industry who has the US administration in its pocket. Their latest suggestion is to ban AI regulation at the state level, and only allow it at the federal level (which, conveniently, they completely control).

    Even if they succeed, it won’t change the reality and public perception of AI, and it seems like it will store up conflict and clashes to come.
