AI Sentience Is (Obviously) Not the Real Issue

I'd argue the entire field of "AI Safety" is a hilarious distraction from every problem it calls out already being a problem with large companies under capitalism. There isn't a point in trying to prevent the systems already suffering under every AI safety malfunction from reproducing into running on metal instead of meat.

You’re hardly the first person to draw that analogy. But, that said-

It can always get worse. I’d rather not see “worse”. At least right now corporations are made up of people, and aren’t perfectly selfish psychopaths.

AI is just the next step in their iteration towards being perfectly selfish psychopaths. AI safety isn't an effective idea because it is trying to warn a system of dangers that said system is already actively pursuing without aid of AI.
