Thinking, yes, but also secrets, access and effective control of important services in every country and company worldwide, centralized in the US (or anywhere else) where the NSA can take the driver's seat at any time. "AI" is the ultimate sleeper agent.

I have been saying things to this effect for a few years now, and have literally been laughed at. I feel like that guy that suggested that doctors should wash their hands before operating on patients -- they laughed at him too, before they put him in an asylum. What's going to happen, is that everyone who realizes that these policies are a mistake, is going to quietly retcon their own role in that mistake, while scapegoating everyone that they don't like.

Also, would bet money that the derived data from the meeting-summarizers is being sold to hedge-funds, to give them a bit of an edge.

And if it isn't already, you can be that they're probably to start.

All those "difficult to program but easy-if-time-consuming-for-human" tasks, will 1000% be farmed out to models at unprecedented scales.

yeah. I mean, I think (as someone similar to you) the truth is not rewarded because we are in an age where deception as the norm is. Or maybe that's always how it was as humans, and we were simply too naive and gullible to notice before?

The incentives reward this kind of behavior. I wonder then how to operate in a world that is low of moral values and ethicality - does it mean I have to do so to have a fair shot? I'd like to think not.
