do you think the atomic bomb people jerked to their own greatness as much as these AI people keep doing?

I don't think so. Realizing what you would have to use it for would be heartbreaking. You would legit wonder if your part would condemn you.

I don't think they really knew what they were creating.

If they knew how much misery it would bring to people, they probably wouldn’t have invented it. Just like with javascript.

The people that paid them to build it sure did. I think it would be naive to think that at least some of the people building it weren't excited to see their work put to use.

I sense a little AI hate in there

@just8littleBit sure they did @Lensflare the bomb ended ww2 for Japan. Like AI and js, it made many people happy

@retoor yeah every horrific invention has its good sides. The atomic bomb brought us nuclear power. AI brought us chat bots. And JS brought us json.

@Lensflare AI converted today camel case to snake case for me of a big file. I know, you can write yourself but you'll end up with a few exceptions and 15 minutes gone. Then, I did let it prefix all my function names and global vars. Amazing stuff

@Lensflare and yet we're still not utilizing nuclear power because it's still villified

For the record I believe atomic bomb beats AI in rock-paper-scissors-AI-atom bomb

invent AGI first, or the people who do will use it against all of us.

And I can confirm no one was a bigger jerk-off then ol' oppenheimer himself with his whole "I am become death, destroyer of worlds."

Like jumping jesus, on a pogo stick, if that isn't some navel gazing I don't know what is.
