The most powerful people in silicon valley are openly aiming to replace the entire species with robots in space. This is their genocidal aim. The fact that bad things haven't happened yet doesn't mean that directionally, they aren't attempting to replace as much human culture as possible.

It sounds silly! That's because they are completely divorced from the human experience, and they have enough power to really make us all suffer.

You still need to be able to do long division so you can tell when you screwed up on the calculator.

Right, there's a reason students that never dealt with a real problem, even when they get As, aren't as good as professionals. You need to do real work to get really good.

Right, deployed thoughtfully, in a way that improves the human condition (especially aboard a ship far from civilization!) there are uses of course. When everyone is offloading their thinking and writing this is effectively erasing the production of culture.

Only a programmer or a business guy would think just because it becomes capable we would want to see AI produce "content". The effect is the erasure of human culture.

I perceive that it is our national interest to collaborate widely and collegially worldwide, including with Chinese businesses and scientists. This "red scare" is so stupid. I do not give one crap about OpenAI or Anthropic making a killing. I am more likely to personally benefit from cheap, democratically controlled, and internationally regulated AI. It is clear that America is a Nazi country. We're the bad guys!

Claude was already used in offensive operations in Iran and Venezuela. Why on earth would I want America to have a commanding lead on this? So we can drone strike anyone who disagrees with renaming the Pacific the "American Ocean"?

China and Vietnam, left mostly to their own devices, have maintained a positive trajectory and retain control of the commanding heights of the economy. Vietnam and China successfully repulsed Western occupiers which is what gave them a chance at independent development.

Every other attempt at a different path elsewhere was undercut by military coups, invasions, economic blockades. One would hope that communism/socialism would be robust to destabilization efforts, but it was not the case. Capitalism also took time to develop, such as various attempts in the Italian city states before first taking root in Denmark. Hopefully, a new system of peace and cooperation will replace our brutal empire.

"The woman, Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is a Chinese citizen who has served as a top executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer and cloud partner that provides AI computing power to Chinese companies including Alibaba, the New York Times reported Thursday."

Do you think that when Jensen talks to Sam Altman or Amodei they don't chat on the phone with Donald Trump?? This is just a smear.

OpenAI really should change the name to something like EgoAI or AltmanAI.

If it is capital intensive and we require the work be done in the public benefit, the only options are international consortia or nationalization. Non-profits will be guided by the interests of the rich and are unaccountable to the public. Worker cooperatives are unlikely to be well capitalized (because what rich person would want to invest and not have control) and will still have private profit incentives.

Peer production processes (like open source) require that the inputs be specialized knowledge and relatively small amounts of capital.

Order for the West, chaos and death for south america and southeast asia and the middle east and parts of africa.

I wonder if you can object to using most AI on religious grounds as Claude, Grok, and ChatGPT are produced by and are made in the image of effectively pro-extinction death cults. Honestly, it makes me feel slimy and uneasy using them when I consider that they are basically cult manufactured artifacts designed to influence society according to their religious beliefs.

They are doing that because they are running into hardware limits with single agents. If one agent made correct decisions and explored spaces efficiently, they would not need hundreds of thousands of agents. It's is the luxury of great wealth that they can produce a large number of possibly defective samples and then select the ones that are not defective.

This is why capitalism must always find new markets or die btw.

These are more claims of the same kind from an aligned institution. There is no evidence offered.

You cannot believe intelligence agencies when they do not offer proof. Their job is to provide (reputationally but not factually) authoritative story lines that protect big business interests from competition overseas. Sometimes they protect US business by bombing their competitors.
