I lose track with Gary Marcus... is AI a nothingburger being peddled to us by charlatans, or an evil threat to humanity which needs to be stopped at all costs?

I dont think LLMs are the only type of AI.

By the way, robot dogs now have perfect auto-aim, they can multi-shoot 50 people at once without wasting any bullets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m3iUHplvQE

Also, the AI robots can detect infrared and heartbeats all around them, and can also translate wifi signatures to locate humans behind obstacles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkHdF8tuKeU

Self-organizing deadly drone swarms can sweep a building methodically: https://www.wired.com/story/anduril-is-building-out-the-pent...

Currently they’re working on network analysis to help police to do precrime at Palantir. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17054740/palantir-predict...

They can then have ubiquitous CCTV+AI feeds allow AI assistants to suggest many plausible parallel construction cases to put people away. And this is in the Western democratic countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction

Oh yeah, and they can do warrantles surveillance of everyone at scale with AI far more easily than Five Eyes and PRISM did in 2013: https://www.privacyjournal.net/edward-snowden-nsa-prism/

It will be very hard to keep your privacy considering AI can recover your keystrokes from sound in Zoom calls, can lip read and even “hear” your speech through a window thanks to micro vibrations: https://phys.org/news/2014-08-algorithm-recovers-speech-vibr...

Not like they’ll need it though once everyone has a TeslaBot in their house.

You won’t ever have another revolution again by peniless plebs out of a job. Their walking around the street and personal associations will all be tracked easily by gait, heartbeat etc. Their posts online will simply be outcompeted by AI bot swarms as well. Don’t worry, your future is Safe and Secure from any threats, thanks to AI!

Here it is in more totalitarian countries:

But this is the good version. The bad one is where everyone has access to killer AI:
