Super intelligence brought to you by a very stable genius.

There’s a lot of current hype around AI, it’s abilities but also the potential threat that it poses to humanity. The standard narrative sounds like a sci-fi movie, one of these systems is on the verge of waking up and taking over the whole world and has been for at least the last five years. In this episode we take a skeptical look at AI, the current state of the art, the history and development of these systems, examples of AI outside of LLMs. And take a close look at the argument that AI is about to pull a skynet and kill us all, then discuss who benefits from that narrative the most. Last we talk about the idea of Dumb AI and how that can be a problem for people even if it’s not superintelligent, with some real world examples that already exist in the world and the very real damage that has already happened from proliferating cultural biases to the literal deaths of innocent children.
