Computers can’t think for themselves. It’s more like if everybody had a trained police dog - one of those dogs that will bite and not let go, would you feel safer walking around?

“Hey OpenChatGPT, find a list of every person who has ever wronged me and constantly harass them with death threats from behind seven proxies”

Yeah that will make the world better.

"Hey OpenChatGPT, find a list of every person who's asked OpenChatGPT to harass me, and block any harassing messages likely originating from them."

It works both ways. Attack and defense.

Spot on. Broadly speaking, if you want peace you have to prepare for war. If you don’t distribute and democratize power, those who typically control it in concentrated form will weaponize and wield it (power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that jazz).

You may not feel the need to construct a strong defense because of your disposition and mental model, but you should because of the motivations and mental models of those building a strong offense.

A take as old as time. History books are always written by the victors.

What is this fear mongering? With logic like this we would have banned the internet in the early 90s.
