Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Open letter to halt AI development for 6 months | Max Tegmark and Lex Fridman" video.

  1. In all due respect to the physicist Max Tegmark and soon-to-be legendary (In 50 years?) Lex Fridman. Fridman will have interviewed 100,000 people by 2073 and should enter the videocast hall of fame if he's lucky! I am an armchair comedian whose jokes seem to never go very far. Some humor before a somber statement. We cannot stop developing AI for any amount of time, because one of your adversaries would only pick up reigns and ride off with improving on what exists now. Long ago in a place far, far away, a future farmer found a wolf cub, brought it home to his shocked wife, and said we're going to make this little guy into a family dog who will love us and not eat us. The story ends there as the family was never heard from again. I am sorry for the rambling on. What am I saying here? We have nothing to fear about AI because no matter how intelligent a robotic system is, it must never be more to us than the family dog. If anyone has seen 'The Servant', Dirk Bogarde’s film noir masterpiece about a servant taking over the estate by slowly breaking down the master, you know what I mean when I say we can have AI that cures cancer, but that same system must heel, must obey humans at every time and nothing short of that. Of course, it will take time to find out how to make a sentient being out of these machines if they are not already developing some sort of consciousness, but we must not look at AI as anything more than fire when it was invented. We came up with firemen. We need to calibrate these marvels of technology to do whatever they will be able to do, but at the end of all development, they must come home and be nothing more than the family dog. It is an opinion...
