Banned for Safety Concerns
I was surprised to see I was banned from one of the larger AI subreddits (I can't mention the subreddit without my post being removed) for a very innocent, and I believe completely fair comment in a discussion about the new social media site for AI's, Moltbot.
This was my comment: When the machines start communicating behind our back, that's when they become an actual threat.
It's actually more than a little worrying that some of these very large AI subreddits are now banning literally any mention of AI becoming a threat to humanity. These subs have a large part in the formed opinions on AI, if people aren't allowed to express safety issues, these subreddits pose a real danger.
I would understand being banned for some sort of doomer post, but I was banned for a benign mention of a threat, and I honestly believe it is a real threat, not just hyperbole.
