I was reading the NYT rogue AI thing today - what struck me was things they described as “rogue” are only that if you accept there’s intelligence behind them. There is no particular difference to a computer between the Pokédex and the state department database, especially if they both have APIs.

It’s not that AI products are immoral - they possess nothing. No self and no intelligence from which to consider morality and no timeframe with which to consider consequence.

This alone isn’t that interesting, the whole industry and much of SciFi is predicated on this misdirection of responsibility to the sUPeRINtELLiGenCe but here’s what freaked me out:

What if people can’t tell the difference?

I’m starting to suspect most people involved in this boondoggle really *are* clinical psychopaths.
