I for one am glad to see society moving from deference to skepticism of these valley elite

  It's all just a big scam to scare the public into buying robot insurance.

    lol, that's good
    Lawfare Media recently, actually proposed a mutualize insurance system for Ai

    I don't think it such a bad idea that the Big Ai labs put money into a fund for their negligence, but that should not relieve them of criminal liabilities
    my consternation is that they likely have sufficient money to avoid consequences, like the sacks and the opioid epidemic, two-tier justice system at it's finest...

    An insurance policy with a robot plan? Certainly, I’m too old!

    Does it apply when robo-advisors make bad investments?

    In reality, it is a big scam to trick the public into thinking AI is dangerous and needs to be regulated. Then the government can limit it so only the preferred companies can continue to develop it.
    It's because both frontier companies are worried about plateauing and there's no barrier to competition. They both have upcoming IPOs, too.

    To be fair, I think most of this is sci-fi brain rot, but the fact that 2 trillion-dollar companies supposedly have RSI as their #1 priority by a long shot is concerning to me

    The I in RSI... Improvement or Immolation... tbd...

    In the hands of the wrong people, AI IS dangerous! And it IS in the hands of the wrong people!
