> AI has left Moore’s Law, which predicted computing power would double every two years, standing. The most cutting-edge AI today is 5bn times more powerful than that of a decade ago.

likely because NN aren't as optimized yet as cpu design. no surprise here.

> Existing large language models like Chat GPT already churn out hard-to-spot disinformation complete with fake citations; in the wrong hands they could play havoc with our ability to distinguish truth from propaganda.

you fools, there hasn't been truth for millenia. better stop believing random stuff from people you don't trust, just because the stuff looks real.

> There is dark scope for AI chatbots to develop coercively controlling relationships with humans and to manipulate or radicalise them into doing terrible things; the 21-year-old man sentenced to nine years in prison this month for breaking into Windsor Castle with a crossbow in 2021 was in conversation with an AI “friend” that encouraged him to carry out the attack. Earlier this year, a Belgian man with mental health issues who took his own life was goaded to do so by a chatbot.

then fix the shit societies of your own making which constantly produce broken souls.

> It could help criminals to launch devastating cyberattacks and terrorists to create bioweapons.

tERrOriSTs!!111 lol, lmao even.

the only ones doing "cyberwar" and bioweapons are the nation states you are shilling for to do the regulation.

> But I wonder if they will instead look back at this period as the sweet spot before the downsides of technology began to existentially dwarf its benefits.

THAT point in time was probably about 150 to 200 years ago.
