You can't be polite and nice when fighting this and Advocating against monster corps. They see kindness as a weakness and will eat you alive.

Every generation of geeks pursues its version of a perpetual motion machine.

Tesla seeks to award Musk $56bn payout, only a matter of days after announcing plans to cut 10% of its global workforce. At which point are we going to fully concede we are in the era of Techno Feudalism?

❝ Tesla's argument is one in which they throw large amounts of 'driving data' against a model in the hope that the vehicles will 'behave' good enough at any given time.
❝ It is not safety. It is just... guessing and hoping.

Eric Schmidt “indirectly” funded dozens of jobs in the Biden administration.

This has been long in the making:

This is horrible shit.

Why is anyone still offering a platform to Eric Schmidt, who is promoting cutting out army personnel to replace them with increasingly uncontrollable AI-guided weaponry?

Artificial creep.

Yes, these robots will be plugged into multi-domain-processing models. Yes, corporations will compete to replace factory jobs. Yes, we need to stop this before it gradually goes out of hand.

Amazon loses 100% of its # of warehouse workers per year.

Not surprising given how managers steer workers with algorithms to run efficiently. People get blisters, don’t get time for toilet breaks.

Clearly, since people don’t like their jobs, they should be replaced with robots.

Signs of harms to come

The history of computing in the US is and continues to be closely bound up with military spending. We often like to pretend that these connections don’t exist, or that they’re new, or an aberration—but Big Tech and military spending are (and have been) closely intertwined…

“We can look at certain technologies, certain modes of domination, and say: No.”

With “Blood in the Machine” Brian Merchant has written an engaging history of the Luddites, which further asks us to consider what Luddism means (and can mean) in the present:

Why I respect Pause AI folks:
They speak up and act in line with their concerns. Instead of being all polite and chummy as AI corps cause increasing harms.

On May 25th, there will be a large peaceful gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area, demonstrating against AI. We are fighting for constitutional rights, privacy rights, workers’ rights, artists’ rights, against harmful deepfake technology, and more.

Follow for updates.

Yes, AI requires an absolutely massive amount of energy, but you have to keep this in perspective. It also generates terrible images and the worst writing you’ve ever read.

A broken writer.

This critique of AI Safety is right on the money.

An unwillingness to challenge corporate power even as people say a pause needs to seriously happen.

Or lobbying for “differentiated development” even as these AI corps recklessly scale on.

It’s internally inconsistent.
