Google is a glorified library. Excavator is a glorified spade. See, I don’t have to be Michio Kaku to do that. I wonder if sometimes people like Kaku make these outlandish statements for publicity.
AI risk != LLMs; the latter just happened to be so impressive that they shocked us into worrying more about the former.
Which is arguably a good thing: humanity beginning preparations for a dangerous tool before the actual dangerous part has even happened
Except we are starting to do exactly that because too many people are not realizing that neither llms nor ai are actually ai with understanding and agency.
Or really, they do have agency because we're giving them agency, but we're giving agency to things that don't have understanding and that's the problem.
