    I have been around rich people my entire life. Not just rich people, WEALTHY people. Blue bloods. Old steel family money. Wall St families. They are nuts and are not what I would consider as a net positive for society. They’re closed minded, self absorbed, and held hostage by their own dysfunctional and degenerate culture. You could say that about any culture but those cultures don’t wield power.

    We need ethical AI to run our basic society and get rid of crazy families like the Sacklers who intentionally poison the populace with drugs.

    They killed INNOCENT people intentionally. Like the Nazis did. Think about that.

      I feel that ethical AI will be purchased, copyrighted, changed, and reimplmentated faster than most technologies. The problem comes from the owner class changing the code to give pre-approved answers to the masses.

      It can easily be another form of control. Like religion, most people will accept it as correct based on their faith and lack of understanding.

        I feel ethical AI will be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, and numbered!

    Hey man, I’ve seen you around, posting a bunch of interesting (albeit rather scary: “VC Qanon is not something I wanted to exist…) articles and wanted to thank you for bringing content here.

      Appreciate the kind words. Yeah, the real world sure is a crazy and interesting place, isn’t it :)

        Appreciate it too! That said, any “news” article that starts with the word “opinion” isn’t news!

          True. I couldn’t find a more appropriate place to post this article. Suggestions are welcome!

            Something like a “Current Topics”? I haven’t looked but that might cover opinion pieces as well.

            Still, I don’t want to get too militant about proper placement of submissions, because being anal about categories being separate and distinct and ne’er the twain shall meet just doesn’t foster as much discussion as letting places be more malleable and take on the flavor of their communities.

    On the other hand, reflexive contrarianism is, as the economist Adam Ozimek puts it, a “brain rotting drug.” Those who succumb to that drug “lose the ability to judge others they consider contrarian, become unable to tell good evidence from bad, a total unanchoring of belief that leads them to cling to low quality contrarian fads.”
