Ask HN: How are you preparing for the AIpocalypse?
1 by 1attice | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Please, serious answers only, and assume for the sake of argument that AI will be weaponized in a way that is enormously disruptive to western democracies (following Kissinger, Schneier, et al.) How are you preparing, spiritually, practically, and emotionally, for some or all of the following: - Mass politicized generation of fake citizens - Training set poisoning - Intentionally malicious/biased AIs deployed (say, by a billionaire infuriated by basic empathy?) - Hitherto undiscovered forms of AI leverage by bad actors? Near as I can tell, we almost lost democracy to the Facebook recommendation algorithm ; I don't see our business-as-usual political institutions surviving the loss of trust in mediated communications that will almost certainly result from generative AI, even if said AI is not sentient or conscious. So how are you preparing your families and communities for what comes next? Back a step: *are there* preparations we can make?
