If you use AI, the paper trail you leave behind may now operate at a much higher level. Here's why. Also, here are some mitigation techniques.

I think we're still at the stage where model performance largely depends on:

- how many data sources it has access to

- the quality of your prompts

So, if prompting quality decreases, so does model performance.

Some cleanup needs to happen, when the dust settles.

It's just not clear to me who, or what, will do it.

I would very much prefer that he focuses on SpaceX and Tesla, in this order, seeing as he's more or less custom-built for those jobs, and there aren't that many people like that around.

Running Twitter OTOH? There's an endless supply of "captains of industry" in the Silicon Valley, who would be willing and able to do it.

Crossing the street is also potentially deadly.

Not crossing it, staying home all day until you starve or go insane from isolation is more deadly.

So we choose to cross the street.

> because the other side is too stupid to make their own decisions

The unfortunate reality is - that is the actual crux of the problem. Maybe say "incapable of making" instead of "too stupid to make", since that makes the scope wider. But that is the long and short of it.

What is generally known as ethics acts as a safeguard against random individuals running rampant and inflicting tremendous damage on society for personal gain.

In a broad context, Thiel acts like someone who has no such safeguards. The future he's pushing the world towards is the caricatural dystopia from Back To The Future (which was originally meant to lampoon Trump-like characters). Fortunately, he will probably fail.

If you don't see this at all, it's probably time to ask yourself just how similar to Thiel you actually are.

Very similar to my play style.

Yup. It becomes a negotiation, and the company by definition has orders of magnitude more negotiating power (arm-wrestling, etc) than you do.

But hey, "freedom", yay!

Because nothing else fulfills you.

It must be the opposite to their own political dogma, so "it must be evil".
