Every single one of these doomerism articles is a) 100% bullshit and b) is put there to make the technology seem magical when it's just matrix multiplication

@thomasfuchs If the next-word prediction engine can kill all of humanity then we kind of deserve it

@thomasfuchs Well... if you asked 10 years ago if matrix multiplication can do pretty good translations, your answer would probably be wrong.

I believe "Cambridge Analytica" scandal shows that technology can be rather dangerous, and LLMs will make this worse.

@thomasfuchs to seem magical and absolve the creators and funders of moral responsibility.

@thomasfuchs to be fair matrix multiplication was used to kill a lot of people in WW2, and then used to save a lot of people.

So I guess it depends on who is doing the multiplying more effectively.
