Thank you for sending me this vid! I'm learning that there's a debate about the ugency of #AISafety" vs #AIEthics. #Harari and #Bengio are focused on "AI Safety" — restraining/controlling a #SuperIntelligent #AGI (general AI). It's more theoretical + philosophical. Others are focused on #AIEthics which is trying to avoid the harm that algorithms and #AI are causing now for disadvantaged people (runaway #capitalism, discrimination and #bias, #misinformation, environmental damage)

And so, loftily absolving yourself from caring about the world around you because, supposedly, your actions may make a future world better (in reality, you've found a nice #grift/hobby combo - looking at you ethical #superintelligent AI people) Is Not Ethical.

The future can only ever arise from the present. Again, this is the confusion about real-actual, and potential.
