Tsarathustra Utter nonsense. What is with this absurd takes lately?Datacenters currently use 2% of energy for all digital purposes, including all the clouds, every super computer on Earth and the entire internet. AI is a small fraction of that and it’s supposed to grow to be 30% of our energy

Sorry, I am an 80s kid/Gen Xer, & if you are trying to make the word “weird” an insult again, I assume you are either a jock or cheerleader in an Izod with the collar popped up. (Youngins, that means “conformist meanies”)

Even if we deindustrialized Europe back into Middle Ages as some degrowth weirdos dream of, it wouldn’t help climate too much. The problem is somewhere else, unfortunately even throwing tomato soup at Mona Lisa has fairly limited impact in this regard.

People whose primary approach to life is preventing all risk and preventing all harm, do more harm than the harm they were trying to prevent.

Tsarathustra This is an absolutely clownish take that gets more unhinged as we go along. When this is the kind of commentary coming from respected tech leaders is it even surprising that people are confused? Like go make infinite TikToks and steal all the users? What the actual hell?

Maybe the doomers can shut up now! An official sounding study that proclaims AI is not an existential threat to humanity just dropped! 😃

An important op-ed by Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) and Daniel Ek (Spotify) in The Economist about the fuzzy and disparate regulatory landscape in the EU and how it is becoming an obstacle to the development and deployment of technology in the EU, particularly when it comes to AI and

Shirin Ghaffary @DKokotajlo67142 1. These are not whistleblowers. They exposed no crime. This is not Enron. They didn't even expose bad security practices, just practices they felt were not good enough for them. 2. OpenAI just publicly stated that they oppose this legislation, because it is poorly designed.

Maybe if we red teamed legislation as fiercely we red team AI, we'd get better legislation. Sadly many people who propose legislation are actively hostile to any and all feedback. This post from a lawyer, engineer and former FTC employee looks at the unintended side effects of

"AI may eliminate millions of jobs, but it also may help us cure cancer" Do you know how many well paying jobs depend on cancer? So are you suggesting we keep that around? If not, what is the point?

I am pretty sure that Space X is working on something in this area. What is the plan? Or are they going to do what the book #DeltaV speculates and just keep the resources in space, build there?

How could computers multiplying numbers lead to "literal human extinction?" Doomers never say how, and politicians never press them because they imagine something like Terminator. The whole thing is an absurd clownshow.

SB-1047 would definitely have a chilling effect on open source AI and the entire AI ecosystem. Very much hoping that Governor Gavin Newsom will veto it.
