- vouaobrasil 2y agoNot true. Technology defines the parameters of social action and we are forced to use technology as it becomes mandatory. Moreover, humans have basic instincts, the strong force which overrides morality frequently. Humanity as a society has very little will and a lot of momentum that is amplified by technology. It is not up to anyone to wield anything.

- vouaobrasil 2y agoWell, I don't think I'd be good in charge. Obviously you are being sarcastic, though. But if I were in charge, I would ban all AI development. (Assuming anyone can be in charge at all. No one really is...)
- exe34 2y agoYou should ban knives too! We have an epidemic of knife crime here in the UK.
- vouaobrasil 2y agoKnives are significantly more useful than LLMs, which are long past the point of diminishing returns.
