Given that AI systems tend to be sought out when scale overwhelms human resource…
what are the chances that ‘good’ uses of AI turn out on balance not to be ‘good’?
The likelihood of poor outcomes from AI can be predicted by who funds it; the fossil fuel industry.
The most corrupt industry on the planet is malign in every aspect of its conduct.
Election meddling. Pollution. Climate denial. Propaganda & disinformation. Corruption of the US Supreme Court. Warmongering petrostate despots like Putin, #PrinceBonesaw, and Trump.

…As a generalisation, I feel like predicaments of overwhelming scale aren’t addressed by systems that present plausible but probably shallow intelligibility of that scale
…We’re so culturally addicted to scaling UP that we’ve forgotten how to scale down
