The part that gets me is that stans will tell you that AI will solve EVERY problem. Bro unless it solves problems it seems designed to exacerbate, namely wealth inequality, which it won’t, it won’t solve MOST of our problems, because most of the big problems of the world are social issues, not intelligence issues. We know how to solve world hunger, hell, the UN came to Elon and said “hey you said you’d solve world hunger if it could be done for $6 billion, so here’s how you could do it for $6 billion” and he said no, I don’t want to be the guy who solved world hunger. It’s about a will to pay the costs involved, and how the rich are so unwilling to part with even a fraction of their wealth that it’ll never happen, especially when they are the ones in control of AI (AGI escaping human control aside). Housing crisis, world hunger, genocide, disease, the list goes on and on, we already know how to solve these problems, or at least strongly mitigate them, but refuse to do so. Additional intelligence will not solve them.
