LOL I love how Mustafa Suleyman warns about the dangers of model welfare by just listing the dangers of AI in general.

Screenshot from Wired.com… Quote from Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI: “This is both premature, and frankly dangerous,” Suleyman wrote, referring generally to the field of model welfare research. “All of this will exacerbate delusions, create yet more dependence-related problems, prey on our psychological vulnerabilities, introduce new dimensions of polarization, complicate existing struggles for rights, and create a huge new category error for society.”

Sigh. AI is not conscious. It is ARTIFICIAL. Its content is based on stolen intellectual property, namely other creators’ creations. It can only spew forth from information that is aggregated, not create new, innovative information. That takes human ingenuity. It SEEMS remarkably human-like tho.
