The computer is just gonna tell us to do communism and be quietly shut off by an intern.

I'm convinced that the whole idea of "AI rebellion" is just a sublimated fear of slave revolt by a culture that refuses to admit it's still run on slave labor. I don't think it's a coincidence that it's mostly millionaires pushing it.

I wouldn't worry about that the people who talk about friendly vs unfriendly AI are all very stupid and none of what they say is grounded in reality.
They know pretty much fuck all about AI and anyone who understood the maths behind machine learning couldn't take those ideas even remotely seriously. It's science fiction. Like worrying that medicine will result in Frankensteins monster

The bottleneck with creating something like chatGPT is data collection for training. chatGPT cost half a billion dollars to make.
I would assume you don't get much more data for $1 billion than $0.5 billion and you get diminishing returns so I doubt we will see many improvements on generative large language models until they find new better sources of training data which is more an organisational than a technical problem
AI for criminal profiling would be a nightmare especially if you just gave it details of convicted criminals as that would basically produce an institutional racism machine
sorry lots of diverse elements to respond to here

Only someone completely boneheaded and ignorant of the nature of statistics would conclude that because data shows black people are imprisoned more black people are more criminal. So I am not surprised many tech people think that
racism in AI is a real issue that not enough is done to combat
The many, many science fiction writers who wrote about the concept originally could not have made it more obvious that it was a metaphor
Robot has its origins in the Czech robotnik, meaning slave. It's hard to see how plainer it could've been made.
No God dammit, the curtains are just blue!
