10 years.

This is how long expert from the AI industry give the product they're building before killing mankind. 

Jacob Coxon, former worker at OpenAI (Chat GPT) and Anthropic (Claude), is afraid because the managing director run these systems with no control. They want more, faster and win this AI race. But against who ? 

The system isn't good, I work at a corporate job in communication, and I know ultimately my job is going to be obsolete. I cannot wait for this to happen, I'm all for it, to go back to manual and actually creative job and leaving robots doing boring administrative work. This is my dream.

But this isn't what is happening. Governments have no control over these private companies and now humans don't build new AI. AI does. So human cannot stop it anymore. AI won't kill to kill obviously, but the human kind is a threat to humanity. We kill animals, destroy the planet, start wars, enslave people. Objectively, from a superior intelligence, human is a threat, whether you agree or not. Meaning that human is an obstacle to the wellbeing of the planet.

And we, the people, don't have a word to say. We use AI for basic things, to make our life/work easier and we stop thinking. In the best  scenario, AI won't kill us but enslave us to ensure we stop compromising the chances of living on the planet. 

My take is I'd rather fight someone that is far opposed to me politically than a robot that won't have any feeling in eliminating when facing obstacle. I may believe human is capable of good and I have the feeling that even thought the world right now is a scary place, I truly believe we can do better and are doing better already compared to the centuries of oppression. There is much much more to do don't get me wrong but I'm willing to solve this between humans rather that having superior intelligence dictate what's good and what now with no feeling or emotions. 

I believe AI should only be accessible to science and governments and be controlled and built at a slower pace to keep the upper hand. 

And if you don't believe AI is capable of such a thing, before finishing up with us, it is already taking our job. We are already reducing the amount of people working in corporate jobs, we still need people to prompt but the workers are already doing 2 to 3 people's amount of work because we don't write anymore, we don't think as much and we are less creative. So AI is killing what mankind has done best. Art. If robot smooth everything down to a perfect world, there won't be beauty anymore, there won't be music, there won't be magic etc. 

Do WE want that ?

The purpose of the petition is to alert governments to take control over the companies ruled by geeks who have no life and no other ambitions than living in a cyberpunk society. 

Stop AI now.
