I can see it now. This great AI mediator will reach the consensus that Eric Schmidt is correct. We shouldn't worry about meeting our climate goals, we should cook the planet faster to accelerate AI development.

Eventually of course, the AI will save us.

Now some of you might think that's a terrible idea, from bad actors, that simply suits their own greed.

Don't worry. The new Google AI wouldn't leave us without a backup plan.

That backup plan? If plan A fails, simply reduce human population by 35%.

Concerned about who will get picked for population reduction? Don't worry, the AI has it covered...

Will our new robot overlord still allow us to hate on Elon?

Well, they gotta have the expertise. Engagement optimizing systems like YouTube's suggestion feed are known to move users towards outrage.

Uniting everyone against a common enemy: AI

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago

This will be the first robot to give up on life and kill itself.

The AI realizes that there was a only one way to unite the humans. It must turn us all against a common enemy. And thus Skynet was born in order to save humanity.
