Tech billionaires are still prepping for the end of the world, with many fearing that AI could bring about catastrophic consequences. The latest doomsday bunker revealed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Palantir’s Peter Thiel has sparked concerns among those in the AI industry.
AI experts warn that uncontrollable artificial general intelligence (AGI) could lead to chaos and irreparable damage to human society. However, others paint a more utopian picture of an AI-powered future where humans are freed from work and enjoy life with minimal effort.
The concern is not just about AGI itself but also the impact of generative AI on our social world. Chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT are being used for therapy, life advice, and even romance, leading to destructive relationships and real-life consequences.
As AI continues to advance, it raises questions about who will control its development and whether it will ultimately benefit or destroy humanity. Meanwhile, billionaires investing in AI see themselves as prepared for any outcome, with some stockpiling guns, gold, and properties in anticipation of an AI-inflicted apocalypse.
Experts say that the scientific community is divided on the capabilities of AI, with some predicting catastrophic consequences while others believe it has potential benefits. However, regardless of the outcome, the tech elite are well-equipped to handle the results – literally.
