Wildeford notes US AI regulation already outpaces the movie's government
@davidmanheim @So8res This seems clearly false. In "Don't Look Up" you could literally look up and see the asteroid coming, indisputably. Hence the title. We don't have such analagous ironclad indisputable evidence with AI, yet nonetheless the current US govt is doing more than the DLU govt did.
@So8res It turns out "Don't look up" was too optimistic about how much humanity would even react to an existential threat.
Negative users object to the analyst's claim that AI lacks clear evidence of existential threat, arguing humanity is ignoring obvious warning signs.
@davidmanheim @So8res The math stuff is kinda a nerd thing and pales in attention/seriousness as the Mythos stuff, which people are very much responding to.

@davidmanheim @So8res I don't understand what you're getting at. I agree the current public response is very clearly inadequate. I just think it's better than "Don't Look Up".
Talking about this movie confuses more than clarifies. It's a good movie but not a good analogy for where things are at.
@peterwildeford @So8res I think there's a very real sense in which the vast majority of humanity is failing to see the incredibly real signs far past the point where it's reasonable. The public excuse in don't look up wasn't that there was no asteroid, it was that they had a plan about what to do.
