People on this site have such a weird attitude about muh AI. It's like people trip over themselves to say how much of a nothing burger it is while also then turning around and complaining how disastrous its effects will be. I know, I know, people will claim these are just different people saying these things, but sometimes I'm not so sure.
The fact of the matter is, despite it being retarded still in many ways, you have to remember a huge chunk of normies are retards and their jobs could easily be replaced by it down the line. That being said, anyone who wants to stop all development is living in fantasy land. If we don't develop it, other countries will.
Best we can do is try to develop it in a way that doesn't create some technocratic dystopia, although I definitely won't hold my breath there.

This. I would love world peace and an infinite bank account too, but it is not going to happen. Why even listen to people whining 'this thing must be stopped!' What are they proposing? Let me guess- they want daddy gov to regulate the industry ensuring only a few big corporations manage the tech. Not hard to guess who promotes these stories.
AI needs to be stopped, but not by government. It needs to be a grassroots opposition to it worldwide. The arms race argument is dumb because AI that's even sort of close to human intelligence will either be widely available (and thus any madman can kill us all) or be in the hands of a few (who will enslave us all). So it's a race to extinction/enslavement, not for dominance or defense. https://scored.co/c/StopTech/p/1ARJcvK5JL/why-technology-must-be-stopped/
You think the CCP is always going to be in power? Even if they were, even CCP members could understand that their AI is likely going to control them more than they control it and they can also be negotiated with. But I think a better approach is to give the Chinese people better technologies to get around the government digital censorship and target them with messages of freedom so that they will be able to rebel against the CCP (and AI). But currently the western internet doesn't seem that interested in reaching the Chinese.
