The discourse about AI across Lemmy is so interesting. People heavily deny the capability of current AI systems, the nearly exponential growth in it's capability since 2017, that we are in a race to AGI / ASI and the winner (assuming we solve the control / alignment problem) will essentially have a perpetual leverage over everyone else. Most I think are just seeing AI videos and images and think it is a stupid and useless toy poisoning their FYP.
Like I've had people literally call me a cultist or insane or brainwashed when I'm trying to give some caution that shit is getting serious and then you get articles like this.
I just have tap water in mine, because I'ma tap that.
