I have never been worried about the advancement of technology. I am worried about the people that control the technology.

Was reading that and all I could think about was the silver orbs from Phantasm.

Yes Altman is definitely someone we need to keep an eye on to make sure he doesn't try to get a copyright assigned to OpenAI for everything their AIs create.

I got in an argument with someone recently where my point was ultimately: pushing STEM education is fantastic and useful, but we do society a disservice by not equally pushing humanities / social science, because STEM concepts applied without regard for social/societal cues is dangerous. I think that's what we're seeing right now with the AI boom.

Don't get me wrong, STEM is incredibly important. But advancing technology for the sake of advancing technology is a bad idea if we don't have the social wherewithal to handle the consequences.

I realize this may not have been your point; posting it anyway.

STEAM is better than STEM. The A is for Arts.
