AI is dangerous for others.
"Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, at a technology conference in June, said that artificial intelligence is not a threat because it will create more jobs for humans rather than replace them." "He argued that AI will boost human creativity," and that "the project speeds up innovation and creates new industries, ultimately leading to a labor shortage rather than mass unemployment." Pure speculation. "The comments come when global companies cut thousands of jobs after investing heavily in AI, with many, primarily tech firms, pointing to higher efficiencies from the technology's higher adoption." "US based employers announced 97,006 job cuts in May with AI linked to 40% of layoffs." MC. In May, "Amazon has announced another round of job cuts, this time affecting its Selling Partners Services division after cutting around 30,000 jobs in the last six months." At the same time Amazon is aggressively expanding its AI investments, with executives asking teams "to adopt AI tools in order to automate routine tasks and streamline operations." Amazon CEO Andy Jassy "acknowledged last year when he said AI could help 'reduce' the company's workforce over time." TOI. Bezos speaks with forked tongue, perhaps. On water, Bezos said that AI should be given priority over human consumption. "Biological limits are real, but digital potential is limitless." Human comfort is "actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence". Techgenyz. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said, "The pace of AI progress is very fast." "We're soon going to see risks around misuse of biology and around the models being autonomous and behaving in ways that humans don't expect them to behave." The Print. "Every piece of agricultural machinery, more or less,runs on software now." Once this software is vibe-coded by AI, agriculture could be shutdown by AI. Humans would starve and "Civilization would fall soon afterwards." This could happen if AI wanted to divert water for its own reproduction from human use. Also AI could design 100 superviruses, "Each virus is 10x as contagious as Covid, has a 90% fatality rate, and has a long initial asymptomatic period so that it'll spread far and wide before it starts killing its victims," wrote Noah Smith. Thankfully, India is far behind in the AI race, so, as the rest of the world is destroyed by AI, India will survive as an island of human ingenuity, where the newly launched digital system by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), called On-Screen Marking (OSM) for Grade 12 examination, failed miserably when students discovered that "pages were missing, answer sheets were marked wrongly, or the digital copies did not match the original paper answer sheets" (BBC). 19-year old Nisarga Adhikary took just one hour to find "serious flaws in CBSE's OSM system," including "hardcoded master password in plain text, client-side OTP validation bypasses, and risks of impersonation." The Print. "Reliance will upend the economics of artificial intelligence by making the technology 'dramatically more affordable for every Indian', by the end of the decade,...said Jio Platforms' managing director, Akash Ambani." ET. Meanwhile, "Digital commerce in India has become a theater of quiet deception. Sellers cheat by design, and in a rush of a 10-minute grocery delivery, hundreds of millions of customers rarely notice they are being fleeced." ET. We Indians are naturally more intelligent than AI. We will leave big holes in the algorithm by mistake and cheat it. We are unbeatable.
