this is the problem with prohibition we all know ai tools can be useless and amazing depending how you use them. bad actors aren’t constrained to the one way anthropic uses them or the way they will let us use them, so the good guys are at the mercy of their capabilities. i would feel a-lot safer with more access in more hands than the current climate. to your point about existing security tools, we all know tools make ai even more capable so we shouldnt be framing it as a replacement in either direction but again ai orchestration using these tools and improving them. look at anyps5 do we expect ai could do this from a cold prompt? or is it the pattern they deployed plus the ai capabilities that made it possible. cyber security with ai will follow the same patterns. bad guys have to win once and good guys have to win every time making the tool access asymmetric just makes that even harder. doing that under the guide of safety is mind boggling.

if anything we should be using ai to find this stuff before the bad actors, too bad the model providers are hell bent on regulatory capture via fear

subscriptions use already paid for compute in the holes left by high paying api customers, its hardly subsidised, if you look at it objectively, subscriptions are 100% margin

you live in the time of human history that is objectively the safest and most comfortable that any population of humans have ever enjoyed, look inward if that cant make you happy or excited for the future

what would help with this is to regulate and restrict frontier models from doing cyber work so that the good guys are defenceless against bad actors /s.

really disagree with western policy makers and ai company leaders on the path they are steering us, leaving us defenceless all for the sake of their obvious self serving attempts at regulatory capture.

human advancement is a function of population, instead of focusing on population decline to solve our resource problems we should focus on efficiency and technology. i am not rooting to revert to the dark ages i really struggle with this ideology of reduction that seems extremely popular. we really take for granted the fragility of human existence we exist in a pico second of reality and could and most likely will be snuffed out eventually, having our own species rooting for this outcome seems suicidal.

i agree with you that it wouldnt be perfect, but dont follow your logic? the gov designates zoning and collects the resulting taxes wouldnt it encourage in the worse case over zoning?

lvt is too ham fisted, what your really want to tax isinefficient land usage, eg your land is zoned for higher density or industrial etc and you fail to deploy it as such then you should pay a tax for that. this encourages investment and discourages land banking. moving that land into those who will deploy it and lower the overall cost of doing things overall

cinemas are being squeezed to death caused by their and their landlords greed. tickets and food service is reaching many months of streaming service costs. leading to less and less patrons, eventually landlords will be left holding some pretty expensive auditoriums
