The problem is not AI. It's an excellent technology. The problem is there's an underlying power grab (e.g. layoffs). When humans do that to each other they inherently dehumanize/invalidate/insult each other. Implement strong labor protections or basic income and a lot of this dog-eat-dog toxicity goes away.

Automating a job is toxic now ?

Yes when the sole purpose is to remove the livelihood of people in an attempt to make short term gains for selfish short term reasons....AI is a weapon when you have corporate stooge lackies who have nothing but animous towards fellow humans who dare to work...and try to live. If AI was beneficial, no one would profitize it....but lbr...you know that...

> Anthropic claims AI will replace industry X in Y months

False, Anthropic didn’t claim what was linked in the article.

> OpenAI CEO Sam Altman speculates that enough AI compute could help figure out how to cure cancer

Idk likely true? What’s so wrong here.

> Elon Musk says there will be no need for compilers as AI will write the binary directly

What seems so off about this? AI can write binary and probably better in a few years. Higher level languages would still be efficient probably.

> Anthropic claims that Mythos is super dangerous, the people can’t possibly handle such a powerful cyberweapo

Well it was?

Automating _my_ job is toxic. Automating other people’s and being employed as a software developer is wholesome chungus moment.

Wouldn’t that make the AI the compiler?

If AI is not beneficial, then those humans could be re-hired soon.

Big companies are always doing bad things, but not because they use AI, because they have legal protections which prevents small companies (which could be anyone like you and me) to compete. The same small companies who could also benefit from using AI.

Assuming you mean an LLM, you'd have to train this LLM entirely on a parameter space of binary tokens. Or are you saying the LLM generating natural language tokens is going to be printing machine language in 3-5 years, because that claim kinda betrays a misunderstanding of LLM functions.
