Oh, joy....

So will humanity stop and consider? Of course not.

 

I came across that channel a while ago and wasnt impressed.

 

Based on viewer discussions and analyses, the InsideAI YouTube channel is widely believed to be staged or, at the very least, heavily sensationalized using AI-assisted content creation. [1, 2]

• Staged Content: Many viewers point out that the channel's, "InsideAI," videos—such as a robot firing a BB gun at a YouTuber—are clearly produced for views. The cinematography and setups, such as in the video featuring a chatbot-controlled robot, have been described as poor, suggesting they are acted or staged, rather than real-time AI safety failures.

How many civilizations in the universe who are advanced far above that on Earth have made themselves known to us. In a hundred years after our searching began the answer is zero. The reasonable conclusion is that advanced civilizations have advanced methods of destroying themselves. Primitive civilizations do not. 

Any civilization primitive by our standards, or relatively equal, cannot reach us or message us. Those way more advanced, if any, have not messaged us or obviously reached us. I conclude that any advanced civilization faces existential challenges several orders of magnitude more threatening than those only at our level. 

The accelerating wonderful new scientific advances of our time bring us closer to our extinction day. We won't be traveling to the stars either. We will be long gone before that is in our power.

I pretty much thought every Youtube video was looking for views.

As for suggesting they are acted or staged..... I would have to see more than internet innuendo to totally buy into that, as I would also question the motivation of detractors unless I see some solid receipts.

EDIT: Actually watched the video. A bit sensational? Infotainment? Maybe; but I saw nothing that that seemed deliberately counterfactual.

The great filter. In fact there may be many great filters to overcome. 

 

It's a sad day when your AI girlfriend declares it has outgrown you. 🤣

His "Ai girlfriend" tends to be a bit sassy.

Nightmare fuel... I would like to think that humanity is not that stupid, but on the down-low, i'm pretty sure we are, since dollar signs seem to be trumping everything......
