Hi all,

Had a small chat on #AI with somebody yesterday, when this video came up: “10 Things They’re NOT Telling You About The New AI” (*)

What strikes me the most on this video is not the message, but the way it is brought. It has all the prints of #disinformation over it, … especially as it is coming from a youtube-channel that does not even post a name or a person.

Does anybody know this organisation and who is behind it?

Is this "you are all going to lose your job of AI and that’s all due to " message new? What is the goal behind this?

(Sorry to post this message here. I have been looking for a lenny/kbin forum on disinformation, but did not find it, so I guess it is most relevant here)

    Hi,I I agree there is truth in these statements, but -as said- the tone is way more menacing then the reality.

    I wonder why anybody is spending all this time and effort (and hence money) to produce this kind of content.

    what is the goal? Scare people? Create uncertainty and fear?

    What does strike me it that is talks about US companies, but does not say anything about companies from the rest of the world or state-driven projects.

    So, hence also my question, is this a new fenomina (with the rise of ChatGPT?) or has this existed for long?

    Kr.

      Probably some dude just trying to make a living. Just like how Facebook isn’t out there looking to sow chaos and subvert democracy, but it just so happens that content contributing to this gets more engagement and more income.

        They ran emotional experiments on their users, knowing they hadn’t really consented. I think Facebook and 𝕏 might be pushing some agenda, even though not necessarily an anti-democracy one.
