So much doom around AGI, which I've always felt is mostly hype. I think Jaron Lanier lays out a fairly convincing argument about the real threat here. You can kind of see what the internet has done to us already. It's obviously changed our relationships and our sense of reality, so it makes sense that AI will just be another accelerant making us even crazier. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/23/tech-guru-jaron-lanier-the-danger-isnt-that-ai-destroys-us-its-that-it-drives-us-insane?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1679566770

So AI is like Hunter S. Thompson on LSD & Meth?

Is Al Gore's internet used more for evil or for good?

It's difficult to say whether the internet that Al Gore helped support has been used more for good or for evil. The internet is a complex and multifaceted technology that has had a significant impact on society, both positive and negative.

On the one hand, the internet has made it easier for people to access information, communicate with others, and participate in democratic processes. It has facilitated the growth of e-commerce, online education, and telemedicine, among many other positive developments. Additionally, the internet has helped connect people from all over the world, fostering cultural exchange and collaboration.

On the other hand, the internet has also been used to spread misinformation, promote hate speech, and facilitate criminal activities such as cyberbullying, identity theft, and online harassment. Social media platforms have been criticized for amplifying harmful content and creating filter bubbles that reinforce polarization and division. The internet has also been used by authoritarian governments to suppress dissent and violate human rights.

Overall, it is important to recognize that the internet is a tool that can be used for both good and bad purposes, and that its impact depends on how it is used. While Al Gore played an important role in supporting the development of the internet, its ultimate impact on society is shaped by a wide range of factors, including technological, economic, and social dynamics.

Did Al Gore invent the internet?

No, Al Gore did not invent the internet. While he did play a role in promoting and supporting the development of the internet as a US Senator, he did not claim to have invented it.

In a 1999 CNN interview, Al Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet," which was taken out of context and widely misinterpreted as him claiming to have invented the internet.

In reality, Al Gore was a key supporter of the High-Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991, also known as the "Gore Bill," which helped fund the development of the internet and other communication technologies. However, it was a team of scientists, engineers, and programmers who actually developed the internet and its underlying technologies over many years.

Why did Al Gore invent the internet?
As I mentioned in my previous response, Al Gore did not invent the internet. However, he was a key supporter of legislation that helped fund the development of the internet and other communication technologies.

The High-Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991, also known as the "Gore Bill," was introduced by Al Gore and several other legislators. This bill aimed to support the development of high-performance computing and communication technologies in the United States, including the development of the internet.

The goal of the Gore Bill was to help the United States remain competitive in the rapidly advancing field of technology and to promote innovation and economic growth. The bill provided funding for research and development in areas such as computer science, networking, and software engineering, which helped to pave the way for the development of the internet.

So, while Al Gore did not invent the internet, he played an important role in promoting and supporting its development through legislative initiatives like the Gore Bill.
