> I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks. I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust.
To conjure fire from the skies, in other words. But the way technology works is it solves a problem by introducing other problems, and if they plan to fix cancer by messing with DNA, guess what side effects there will be.
Sam Altman made a similar remark, in the case of Sam Altman though, GPT has been making breakthroughs in mathematics which is rather impressive, I could see AI helping to unlock more about cancer.
I commonly see people online say something along the lines of, “instead of curing cancer we got a stupid chatbot.” Dario is simply responding to what people say they want.
I love that they're at this point not only adopting the apocalyptic worldview of Millenarian religious cults but also the faith healing marketing strategy. Waiting for the day when Claude makes someone walk out of a wheelchair after speaking in tongues
The way for AI to win over the public is for it not to be used to ruin peoples lives, kill people (autonomous weapons) and exacerbate the climate crisis just so a handful of rich people can get richer.
Even if cancer was solved, those problems would still exist because it's not about betterment of our rae. It's about rich people trying to get richer, everyone knows that, and that's why people hate it.
Edit, I should mention, it's being used to ruin the internet too with "slop".

Pairs well with "Dario's wife tried to raise money from Epstein for a porn studio" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49294219).
True, how about this:
> I think we might be six to twelve months away from when the model is doing most, maybe all of what software engineers do end-to-end.”
