The title of this article is misleading. It's actually a nice summary in how AI firms have conveniently forgotten their own warnings and predictions of the dangers of AI now that they no longer need to use that messaging in making pitches to investors.

I guess they realized they were only hurting themselves when the government wouldn't obey them and ban all the competition just because they said "AI danger".

It was clearly all a ploy to begin with.

What do all the people downvoting it based on the title assume it means?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

My thinking is that it reads like the author is dismissing the whole notion that AI has risks and that the folks raising concerns were just repeating an overblown doomsday narrative.

That's what I thought and I expected to see a lot of promoting for the shiny new things and dismissing safety efforts as dampening innovation.

This is what the world is now. TL:DR, must react.

Simple:

Three billion human lives ended on August 29, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare, a war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human Resistance. John Connor; my son. The first terminator was programmed to strike at me, in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was sent to strike at John himself, when he was still a child. As before, the Resistance was able to send a lone warrior. A protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

There's been a couple reboots tho

It was only relevant when the corps didn't have it.
