Hell, NO.

do the same, and share, pls.

Many experts argue that current #ArtificialIntelligences (#AI) is or will soon be really intelligent entities, so "different, but equal" to humans in the human-specific sense that rejecting them would be evil, helpless, or both.

Just ignore them. EVEN if they're right: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/taking-ai-too-seriously-is-not-intelligent

#UBI is NOT "a solution to the impact of #AI" as the Guardian says.

It's exactly the opposite: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/ubi-ai-and-reality-always-in-the

Just saw this "I once stopped #dating a guy after learning they're ___. People have a right to have their values and ethics align with who they date and closely befriend."

#EU electric car tariffs sting #China's #EVs but won’t halt it? (*)

That's even more reasons to just ABOLISH tariffs and go for a winning combination of European regulation of Chinese car manufacturing: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/carmakers-must-die-and-flat-cars

The REAL reason to slow down a race to "God-like AI" isn't that it'd kill us:

https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/you-are-all-getting-this-stop-ai

It is that we cannot afford to waste all that energy and money, when there is so much stuff to do first (even with AI!), like this:

My life just reached its peak. Everything from now on can only be worse

If the title is correct, this "god-father of #AI" is just another guy who got things backwards:

#UBI hasn't become necessary NOW, after some tech bro said "ops, I've invented this thing that will destroy jobs, please make UBI to fix my mess".
