Researchers at Anthropic have been shrieking that AI might kill us all. No worries; they have a solution: tight control by globalist moonbats.
The New York Post reports:
In a bombshell essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,”[Anthropic CEO Dario] Amodei argued that leading AI firms should commit to allowing “embedded third-party evaluators” from a nonprofit called Model Evaluation and Threat Research, or METR, that would maintain “employee-like access” to oversee safety efforts and ensure advanced AI models don’t turn Terminator and wipe out humanity.
The would-be John Connors at METR purport to be fully independent, but the group traces its roots directly back to key figures in Effective Altruism, whose Silicon Valley-based devotees once included disgraced crypto boss Sam Bankman-Fried, one of Anthropic’s biggest early investors.
Bankman-Fried is not only a convicted conman but a moonbat. Not long ago, he was one of the two top donors to the Democratic Party, second only to the sinister George Soros.
Effective Altruism, a philosophy that’s become popular with Silicon Valley masters of the universe, advocates for using reason — and fortunes amassed by tech’s best and brightest — to do the most good for humanity over the long term.
Who determines what is best for humanity over the long term? Not us.
Effective Altruism’s obsessed adherents believe in funneling their wealth toward the goals they view as most important to humanity, including climate change and strict AI regulation.
That’s where AI really might get scary. What if it is programmed to believe in liberal ideology? Deep down, humans all know it is B.S., but do machines? What if AI decides to save the planet by preventing us from producing supposedly harmful carbon emissions once and for all?
Speaking of climate lunacy, malevolent zillionaire nerd Bill Gates schemed to chop down and bury millions of trees because global warming, as well as to reflect the sun’s life-giving rays back into outer space. Now we read this at Modernity:
Gates has a new emergency. With the climate apocalypse no longer selling, the Microsoft co-founder is touring the press circuit warning that artificial intelligence is an “alien intelligence,” that no government on earth is ready for it, and that the only fix is an international organization to police the technology.
An international organization. Like the United Nations, except run by left-wing technoweenies like Gates.
A willfully gullible Gates thinks the ChiCommies will participate in the great struggle to hold back AI, rather than take advantage of liberal hyperregulation to race ahead in its development. That would have disastrous consequences.
