> But if we don’t trust that process and we’re like, ‘Well, the laws are behind the tech, so I’m going to make a decision that impacts 3 million people in the department and then 350 million people in the country’, you don’t get to do that, if you believe in the system. And if you don’t believe in the system, as imperfect as it is, what do you believe in? You’re taking upon yourself to, kind of, be God. And that’s not something that I want, even though I’m a small government free market person. The government has to have a monopoly on violence to protect the country.
What a weird (and false) dichotomy. If I don't want the government to use AI for fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, I'm taking upon myself to be God?! Also, "monopoly on violence" never meant unregulated violence.
Is it actually worth reading propaganda, though?
Thank you, will take a look
