Scaling Bad Ideas 2
If the foundations are wrong, AI scales the mistake to systemic proportions.
In markets, that can mean crashes.
In economies, that can mean depressions.
In supply chains, cascading failures.
In government, systems that become extraordinarily good at controlling people.
The danger is not powerful AI.
It is powerful AI built and deployed using incorrect ideas or for tyranical ends.
That threatens human freedom, flourishing, and agency.
