A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

"AI Safety" is a buzzword OpenAI invented to stifle competition.

If you legitimately believe this then you are a clown. Terminator came out in what year again? Lmaoooo

Edit with citation:

"As AI researchers in the 1960s and 1970s began to use computers to recognize images, translate between languages, and understand instructions in normal language and not just code, the idea that computers would eventually develop the ability to speak and think—and thus to do evil—bubbled into mainstream culture."

Another article from before OpenAI was even a blip on the radar:

Terminator is a fun movie. It's also completely fictional.
