   How people think AI is going to kill them: terminator robots.

   How AI is actually going to kill them: by destroying their habitat and drinking all their water.

     BS hyperbole.

     Techonlogy develops all the time and the AI resource demand is going down.

     OR, is it like #Bitcoin where the resource price is the bottle neck throttled by Bitcoin price? 🤔

     Don't count out the killer robots. They are coming along nicely. Just because they will be deployed by humans and not by SkyNet and won't be self-replicating doesn't make them not a threat.

     All those "human in the loop" systems are being developed with the knowledge that it would be more profitable to take the human out of the loop at some point. Palantir drools about it.

     Remember when we thought search engines would use more all the electricity and water?
     Then it was social media.

     It’s not that the technology is unproblematic — glorified predictive text of dubious origin being wildly and widely misused to support a fantasist tech bubble — but there is a pattern here.

     @justanotheramy Almost as if there might be detrimental cumulative effects of the ever-increasing resource demands of Big Tech’s (capitalism’s) hype and bust cycles?
