So the development of inorganic intelligence, considered by many as an inflection point in human civilisation is to be handed to business graduates who are historically proven to be capable of any level of atrocity in the name of corporate greed. America, fuck yeah.

~~America~~ Greed, fuck yeah.

Don't fool yourself. The USA lost the exclusivity deal on unchecked corpo greed a long time ago. This is a global issue now.

Yeah, the American tag was just a throwaway line, greed unchecked, insane and self-harming has always been with us. We let it sit with us around our camp fires like wolves but unlike wolves we never tamed it.

Then again, the US and China are basically the only players in this "game" atm. Hugging Face is trying hard to get the EU on-boarded, and I'm sure we'll see more contenders. But right now it's a 2-player game.

Actually corporations themselves are 99% of what people fear about AGI already in their inhuman decisionmaking to the detriment of humanity.

What do you mean by "inorganic intelligence," exactly? Do you think openai has already achieved it?

As if any other group did not prove that just as much, if not more so.
