When white collar gets gutted people are going to assume they behave the same way their lower IQ unemployed counterparts do and that is far from the case. The modern economy has been built around channeling medium-agency high-intellect individuals into institutionalized slop factories that tamper their innate instincts and the second that construct crumbles you get the Russian and French Revolutions or the Meiji Restoration. The problem with unemployed intelligent people is they can manipulate their less intelligent conspirators and marshal resources in a way that you would never see in the slums of Chicago. The only solution is to convince them they are A. Better off than they were before and B. They are better off than the rest of the world. Anything less and you are playing with societal fire.

AI capex is going to continue growing very rapidly, and will soon be many trillions of dollars per year. Ultimately tens of trillions per year. It’s funny how far outside the mainstream consensus this forecast is

there's no way you can tell me "sacrifice... we'll honor" isn't a fucking hype line

What does this post actually mean? 📼

They are trying to collect before these people are never employed again thanks to ai

Sam Altman told OpenAI staff that one approach to AI safety could involve merging the biggest AI labs into a single organization. But with OpenAI and Anthropic racing toward IPOs, coordinating with rivals could prove difficult. Full story: thein.fo/47r0RlB

I understand, we're both trying to offer guidance to the next generation. The thing is, speaking as an artist, we've been force fed NFT's, metaverse, blockchain and now AI. Let these things naturally take its course, they'll find their place (or not).

I came to realize people liked the french #slopcore without having the lyrics 😅 sorry! So here is a version with english subtitles!

One fundamental problem I have with the idea of an AGI utopia is: if no human is needed anymore for labor, military service, etc, and a small number of humans own the “safe” “aligned” robots, why would they bother sharing any of the output with the rest of us?
