Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

This time it's not an onion. I love how close this is to the Onion's "Elon Musk's AI turns on him" story from a few days back

So nowadays AI is more intelligent as the usual shareholder and president?

CEOs haven't realized they're actually the people that are easiest to replace with AI.

May sound like a joke to some but there have been studies on this coming to the same conclusion:

Same study, but alternate link with more text:

I hate Elon Musk as much as the next guy - and all the more now that he has this massive conflict of interest working in his favor and at the American public's expense.

But I will say this for the sake of exercizing critical thinking: everybody is happy to say AI hallucinates when what it says doesn't suit their narrative, and call AI intelligent when it does.

Sure, but if you’re trying to make money off of this technology and it openly starts criticizing you, there isn’t really an explanation where you look good.

And it is more intelligent than an average voter too.
