Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The way AI is going to “kill everyone” is just by manufacturing consent for ever worse outcomes & conditions, like many governments do. It is a governing technology after all. And like bureaucracy it launders responsibility so the people & institutions who deploy it aren’t accountable for the harms 13681229
Nick from Toy-Fu @toyfu332.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It sounds like the next step up from the Facebook algorithm promoting ethnic violence in poorer countries because reading about how awful those damn [ethnicity] were kept people on the site, looking at ads: www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...amnesty.orgEthiopia: Meta’s failures contributed to abuses against Tigrayan community during conflict in northern EthiopiaEthiopia human rights abuses targeting members of the Tigray community. 020
Mar Hicks @histoftech.bsky.social · 10/09/2026This process has already started, of course. And all the headlines saying that the doom is all but inevitable are just softening up the public to shrug their shoulders at each incremental negative outcome and give corporations infinitely more leeway to “fix” their “mistakes” 223347

anairplant.bsky.social @anairplant.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I have a low key belief that ubiquitous WiFi and having all electronics 'sleep' now has made people forget that you can unplug computers. These are physical systems. If your robot vacuum turns evil (LED turns red!), unplug its charger. 022

Raphael Brigeiro @raphaelbrigeiro.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I am always feeling that all this talk about "killing everyone" is a way, not only, to amp up the capabilities of this models but also to make us accept better all the damage they are already causing. "Anything less than destroying humanity is ok, I guess..." 1122
Mimey @lordmimey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Plus let's be clear, even if AI had a 0% approval, the people pushing it were always gonna do this. The reasons why are just excuses to justify that regardless of how *we* feel about it. Also MGS 4 warned us about this years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUf_...youtube.comMGS4 War Has ChangedYouTube video by jibur 040
Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It’s the ideal tool for a vast Milgram experiment. Remember how easy it was to outsource peril to a gig delivery worker during the pandemic? Your smart home/Alexa did everything short of pressing the “express checkout” button. 171
Dave Sanders @itsdavesanders.com · 10/09/2026Its both funny and sad that everyone is up in arms about how AI "might kill everyone" but no one can seem to fix the things that are "actually killing everyone." I guess putting AI on it really does make it more cool. 150
BERTA @breitbert.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It might just be me but something that drives me up a wall about it is two things: if it’s gonna make people jobless do we need to do it? And if it’s gonna kill us all, really why do we have to do it? It seems to me they wonder why people hate their technology and to me it couldn’t be more clear. 0214
