These other applications are relatively successful, cheap and profitable. So adding chat bots to that group helps you to sell your product as something important.

Oh, the power company owning the dam.
It has shown that there's enough money around we could just tax it and solve our problems collectively. Not sure which height of tax rate would be as devastating for the economy as a bursting AI bubble.
Good headline. Didn't call them "owners". Because this doesn't happen to something you own.
Article's first sentence already fails though.
I love it when they bring up the dangers of AGI. Dude, what about the dangers right now? Cognitive offloading, psychosis, environmental damage, financial bubble, mass layoffs (I know it's mostly a pretense for that one)...
Yeah, maybe at some point it'll be capable to destroy us, but right now it looks like we're going to do that before it'll get there.
Nobody else is after all.
Tbh, Fukushima would be a better example. That turned off way more people than Chernobyl. At least in my unfounded impression.
Road design also matters. European roads with heavy pedestrian traffic are often too narrow for speeding or have obstacles. American roads often look like a high way and only the signaling may suggest otherwise.
The algos don't need to deny any or every part of a gun, but the most critical part must not be printable and it'll already be effective.
I'm neither very experienced with firearms nor printing, maybe such a thing doesn't exist for a gun, but I suspect there's a few very important pieces that need to be printed a certain way or the firearm falls apart or is at least a lot less useful.
All that said, I'm generally against such limiting mechanism in any printer or compiler. Try close sourcing all compilers so they can't create malware? Forget it.
I gotta say, I'm a bit concerned how much my parents like these bots. It's not yet that they become dependent on them, but the fact that these bots often validate your own biases isn't helping.
My dad was surprised I didn't embrace the new tech as much as we're both generally tech enthusiastic. I mostly see a lot of problems with it and not the singularity he wanted to talk about.
My mom has issues with her family and the bot helps her validate her opinions in the fight.. which I generally like, but I'm concerned who she lets to get to her: idiots in the family and a chatbot, rather than the rest of her caring environment.
So it's not red alert, yet, but come on..
