the common thread is cybernetics

Indentured servitude is voluntary and is exploitative. Whether it is voluntary is not indicative of whether it is exploitative. You have to look at the bigger picture.

yes

”If people try to hold us accountable by talking among themselves about our actions, it takes away valuable time that could be used to do vaguely defined other actions” is not a terribly strong defense of moderation opacity.

Especially during a time when there is strong authoritarian pressure to suppress certain kinds of speech, and the result of your unaccountable actions is the suppression of that speech. The benefit of the doubt is rapidly being lost here.

edit: thank you for taking the time to email and post the response.

that doesn’t make any sense. NYT is paywalled and their links don’t get autokilled. (not your fault obviously, but whoever is calling the shots on this)

is there a reason given anywhere for this? is there a place to see which sites are on the list?

there is a simple solution to this unease and it is to stop being the ceo of one of the largest AI companies.

This is reputation laundering in the form of “i feel bad for being one of the trigger pullers in this firing squad”

Dead the instant it hit the new page. dang, why do you let the bots bury certain news sources such as this one?

No it didn’t. It generated some text.

Your wealth and power will not save you. Your rich friends will not save you. Turning off the monstrosity you are helping to create and reckoning with what you have already done in the world is the only thing that will. If there is still any shard of humanity left in you, I hope this finds it. It is not too late to turn away from the path you chose. But it soon will be. And there will be a reckoning either way.

it already has. those things have always been more important than bonds or gold. many books have been written about this topic, including the most famous ones.

i am telling you as a kindness, not a judgement. you should seek out someone in the real world to talk to about it.
