Honestly I believe that the framing of the current AIs is wrong. They are compared to a thinking individual, but from my understanding, you should look at them more as machines, that are trying to give you the answer you want to hear / the answer you are looking for.

Combine that with a whole lot of AI source material where the topic is speculation on what an AI would want. And well, I don't see why the journalists answers should be surprising when taking the line of questioning into consideration.

He's right, you know, cus we are not as intelligent or mature as the great journalist Kevin Ruse, I am so glad he's here to protect me from the AI with his superior mind. I wouldn't be able to handle an AI chatbot, I'm so glad I have him to talk for me and keep my little mind safe.

As someone who is also working in this area, I am more hopeful. My company is setting up both the infrastructure for industrial CCS ánd hydrogen transport to connect off shore wind energy parks to on shore industrial clusters. First steps for realisations of both is planned for 2030, with quick expansion in the years after. Combining CCS with green hydrogen is very promising once the infrastructure is in place.

If existing search queries uses processing power and EPA is already nagging about it because it is a major greenhouse gas contributor and AI queries use even more processing not to mention the power needed to train a language model and hardware becoming more and more a bottleneck in development of these models faster. The question is, do you think Google, Microsoft or whatever will offer these services to entertain you?

But to put your mind in ease, most of the profits would come from small business using a custom model for their needs.

Uhm Harvey Weinstein?
Bill Cosby was convicted originally too but I think his age played a bigger part in it being overturned than him being rich.
The notion that rich people are somehow immune tho is complete bullshit.

They can hire better lawyers yes but lawyers can't just let you get away with any crime.
Most questionably legal things rich people get away with too are legal loopholes ( especially when it comes to stuff like taxes ).
Rich people aren't murdering people and getting away with it in spite of evidence against them that's just not happening.

And yet here I am. Still working. Still selling everyone products and there never seems to be a dip in people buying them. I mean we were all on lockdown and it was the most profitable year my store had seen. Ever. Everyone had record breaking profits even with no products in stock. The government never wants us to recover

I like the idea of a 25% tax on robots based on the human payment cost the replace. That way automation is cheaper than human labour, companies still profit, and the income is used to fund UBI. Reduced costs will also need to reduce product costs, making that 25% tax able to fund the lives of the unemployed.

This would keep going until eventually money just dies.

In a perfect world, you wouldn't need funding or UBI.

Why do you need to pay for food? Because that money goes to the vendor, the transportation, the manufacturer, and the producer, to transfer 'value' to them.

Consider the world as it may potentially be 250-300 years from now. Automation may have advanced to the point where farming is done in hydroponic facilities with no or minimal human presence. Same with mining, transportation, manufacturing, and so forth.

So who would you be paying when you pay for food? For the upkeep of the robots. Who don't buy things, who don't need medical, who won't have kids, who don't take time off, and so forth. And really, if you go farther, there's no reason maintenance on robots can't be done by other robots.
