Hey everyone, before the question i wanna say that i am NOT anywhere near a person who knows much about LLMs or anything AI, I'm just curious and mildly infuriated.
Why are big corporations building ai if even they know that it can cause dangers to humanity as a species, I've seen sam altman and anthropic's co-founder say that they are worried about AGI and what not, elon musk keeps saying things like this, there are 100s of articles written with the subject matter of will AI cause extinction.
First of all, is there any truth to this or its just fear- mongering.
And if true that AI can pose serious extinction level risks then WHY ON EARTH ARE THESE COMPANIES BUILDING THIS? LIKE ISN'T THIS AS STUPID AS IT GETS?? CAN'T WE JUST STOP AT A SAFE LIMIT??
Thank you for reading my question! Again, I'm just a student and i do not know much about this topic, i would love to hear some words of wisdom from the well informed people out here!
