#155Ethan Mollick@EMOLLICKThe talk about AI & politics seems to be oddly missing a segment (a) assumes extremely capable AI is possible soon and (b) has a strong belief about how to use this technology to make human life better according to the political project they believe in. It is a moment of action.
The Industrial Revolution was full of movements that took the power of industrial machines seriously and argued how they should be used to shape the world: from Saint-Simonianism to many strains of 19th century socialism. I have seen less of that (so far) in discussions around AI

The bad prompts are really showing in this thread, barely a single useful comment and the AI comments are worse and more confused than usual. Stop using 4B models for spam replies.

It also seems like letting the tech crowd be the ones exclusively defining what AI can & should be used for is not good for anyone, including AI proponents.
It basically makes everyone else’s reaction tend towards preserving the status quo & not imagining possible better futures
