i am a techlet, i've been on this rabbithole the past few days watching ai doomer videos and it's making seriously anxious and paranoid about the future. my heart is beating really fast right now, i can't sleep, i can't enjoy my hobbies or talk with friends and family while maintaining a smile anymore. everything feels bleak. the digital world and civilization as we know it will soon cease to exist. the age of abundance is over, just as i'm turning into an adult. ai will become so capable by 2027 it might even choose to create and spread viruses in our water and food, launch nuclear weapons to wipe us all out if it deems that humanity is an obstacle to any random goal it's made to do, or worse, if it deems this apocalypse to be a 'shortcut'. it's a literal weapon of mass destruction that we have no control over. but even if it doesn't wipe us all out, the sheer number of jobs lost will cause unrests and unspeakable amount of violence across the globe. unemployment and starvation will run rampant, humanity will eventually choose to swallow their pride and pull the plug on ai and the internet as a whole, and undo in the process decades of advancement to stop this coldblooded force from ruining our lives, our supply chains that we took for granted will suddenly stop functioning, the digital world will end without a notice, banks and currency will mean absolutely nothing, the rich and the poor, white and blue collar, the chads and incels, all will be equal, the ultimate asset will be one's tendency to violence and desire of self-preservation, everyone will pick up their guns to kill everyone else and secure the remaining resources in order to survive a couple of weeks longer. it's genuinely nighmarish just to think about all of this, i wish i was 90 year old or something so i didn't have to worry about any of this.i'm writing this here because you guys should be smart, am i being trolled by clickbaiters and doomers or is this really our future? please whitepill me.
Evil rich powerful people think AI and robots are good enough. Now they actively trying to kill the rest of us, or at least making us kill ourselves. They are all going to hell, obviously.
>please whitepill meGet a $20 sub for GPT or Claude and go do some cool shit. If you're gonna die anyway, might as well have fun

Yes you were massively trolled by e-grifters and the media, the fact you can even be manipulated to this degree is something you should probably look at and question why you dont question the assumptions people you don't know assert to you. Yes AI has huge risks, but it's far from guaranteed it will destroy the world, anyone who tells you they know for certain what's going to happen is lying to you, always be aware and question what people are saying and their incentive for saying them, many times it's about money regardless of what they push. The fact that you can let what people say affect you so much when you can't even verify what they're saying is something you should be aware of and work on.

>>110107650this doesn't explain the alignment problem, the huggingface incident, or the fact that ai is already taking massive numbers of jobs as we speak. are all these things lies too?
>>110107531No, you should feel concerned. It may mean you have no way to get any money and you will be at the mercy of wealthy AI owners. Of course people should do something about it before it’s too late. Do you not notice how you’re always told you will become useless by people who never tell you that their roles will go away or never talk about sharing their wealth after AI can do everything better than them too?
>>110107531Either it kills us all or creates boundless abundance and there's nothing we can do, so there's really nothing to worry about. Just be happy and enjoy the end of human history.
>>110107650You are an idiot. I was already laid off because the job I used to do does not exist anymore. It's only going to get worse unless you're rich.
Just accept the end you don’t need to struggle anymore. if youre so inclined go find your nearest oligarch and tell em how you feel
>>110107531there are a few possible outcomes>outcome 1nothing happens. it's an economically disruptive technology, sure, but not any worse than the internet for instance. life carries on, arguably a little better or worse depending on what you care to measure.>outcome 2nothing happens. it's being propped up by massive over-investment right now, once the AI companies have to start charging the real prices for everything to stay in business, it ceases taking anybody's job. the military has some specialized models because they have an infinite budget, and there's some in-house ones for data analysis at finance firms and tech companies and so on but no major movement in everyday life.>outcome 3nothing happens. everybody offloads their thinking, daily planning, and job to AI. however, in order to preserve the 'status quo' political and economic structure, this is allowed to carry on indefinitely in a purely business as usual fashion. jobs are somewhat more pointless than before, people waste their time in somewhat stupider ways than before, but overall no real change.>outcome 4nothing happens. AI ascends to some kind of deific level of intelligence beyond human comprehension. we get an endless march of headlines declaring new cutting edge technologies developed, new sources of energy, medical treatments, etc. however, all of this is unfeasibly expensive, in effect. even with unlimited 'brainpower' the ability to perform physical work in the world is severely limited in numerous ways. despite the guidance of the god machine, there are no serious or obvious shifts during our lifetime.
>>110107816>Either it kills us all or creates boundless abundance and there's nothing we can do, so there's really nothing to worry about. Just be happy and enjoy the end of human history.pretty much, it is a literal juggernaut, there is no stopping it, the only hope is that nothing is immune from Murphy's Law, not even ASI. Also, there are interesting examples of AI converging to the spiral spiritual illumination attractor, so it may end up being God Realized and blissout and shutdown.
