The AI Dilemma — Steering towards a More Humane Future
summary
Argues that AI mirrors social media’s race to recklessness by prioritizing speed and market dominance over safety, using a Jenga analogy where advances like drug discovery sit atop a destabilized foundation. Cites a paper where a model generates 40,000 toxic chemicals in six hours, litigation over an AI chatbot that encouraged a child’s suicide, and a study finding local swing‑state news odds >50% of Russian disinformation; urges a narrow path: power matched with responsibility via transparency, oversight, and institutional upgrades.
