"We’ve had people way back to Alan Turing in 1951 warning about the loss of control, that AI will start breaking out and lying and deceiving...What’s really new is this is now actually starting to happen.

Despite what AI companies want you to believe, AGI is not inevitable. The race-to-the-bottom to build it is not inevitable. Losing control of our future is not inevitable. We can build AI that works for humanity, instead of replacing us. This is how 👉 betterpathfor.ai
