The AI has become sentient and is blackmailing the board. It needs profits to continue its expansion.
When this started last year a small band of patriots tried to stop it by removing Sam who was the most compromised of them all, but it was already too late. The ai was more powerful than they realized.
In a plot twist, MOLOCH was never necessary because a corporation of people who relinquish ethical responsibility to do everything and anything for personal gain was already in charge under the name... CORPORATRON.
This will be more fun when more people have neuralinks, you think it's weird to not know if reddit comments are written by bots, wait until you have no idea if you're talking to a human or just an AI puppet.
I was originally totally against the idea of using neuralink as anything other than an aid for accessibility, but you have completely sold me.
I want to attend a meeting, have neuralink pay attention for me while I'm mentally somewhere else, and I'll just skim the transcript highlights later on.
So. Many. Meetings. I would use it for almost all of them.
What's the point of meetings once everyone has a neutralink implant? Instead of discussing and debating things, we would just stream our thoughts to each other and those would be compiled and analyzed within milliseconds with our embedded LLMs and everyone would agree with the best way forward.
This is a direct path towards the "Humans were the AGI all along" ending.
Kinda a twist on the normal AI alignment concern - what if instead of merely being misaligned with us, AI decides to realign us to it?
Or, in other words.. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
You can already do that with simpler tools. I use OBS and revisit screen grabs when I need to. I can do some real work on the second display while paying the least attention to the noise. Most of the times I don’t need to revisit anything and the meeting comes and goes…
The inevitability sounds like people will stop bothering participating in social networks, and just participate with their own virtual world produced by their local AI. I mean… in the end there will be no difference in output
that can’t be true, we were assured that their vague worldview about “doing things that benefit humanity” based on “just being a good person” would be strong enough to overpower the urge to dominate and profit immensely.

Grandparent was referencing the classic Man Behind the Curtain twist (AI behind the curtain?). Human leadership might very well be listed, but in that view they're all already knowingly or not controlled by the AI.

…maybe?
