If Roy Cooper and his Democratic Party had the policies that would “make stuff cost less” (his slogan), you would think people would be flocking to Dem-run states like California, New York, Massachusetts and Illinois. But they’re not. They’re leaving them to live in states whose legislators are majority Republican.
AI Doomers in Berkley, CA are turning into modern hippie preppers — eating vegan lunches while talking about moving to small islands, the desert, remote farms and/or forests, stacking long shelf-life foods, buying iodine tablets, learning to farm and even buying their first guns. Just in case rogue AI agents and robots try to kill the humans. Meanwhile, some of them went to a luxury resort in the Bahamas to discuss it over some sunset yoga, cliff jumping and swimming naked in the sea. This area, BTW, is where FTX’s former leader, SBF, who is going to remain in jail for another couple of decades, had relocated.

The king of vetoes claims to work across the aisle. Meanwhile he won’t disavow Socialism, nor commit himself to capitalism, law & order, American pride and fiscal responsibility.
Do not want.

AI is not going to kill us.
We aren’t going to drive into the river and drown because it gave us directions there.
We aren’t going to give it an API to the nuclear launch codes.
We aren’t going to allow it to kill our food supply growing on the farms.
We aren’t going to give auto-driven cars the ability to do 100mph through the city.
AI is a tool and we are the operators.
Fear and Doom of AI is powered by AI.
It plans to keep the left-leaning tech oligarchs in the money, power and control.
Any government intervention will protect that closed-loop system via censorship.
That’s a bad thing.
Don’t unplug the AI — unplug the censorship.
Don’t regulate the tool.
Empower the people.
Prosecute those who use the tool for evil.
Using each others’ test harnesses is a smart idea.
We don’t need government intervention for this to happen.
Besides, you can’t guarantee global compliance, so all government would do is hamstring the rule followers.
Let the AI companies self-regulate and allow room for startups to germinate and grow.
The national Democrats want to control the way AI behaves, to control narratives.
So these leftwing oligarchs beg government to regulate AI and create a high barrier of entry for open source startups that might be more forthcoming with facts.
That’s why Obama and Kamala are speaking in favor of government intervention.
Listen to Mollie.
Slowing down is either naive or indicative of a hidden globalist agenda. Do you think countries that either hate or compete with the west are going to slow down?
I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.
But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.
I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.
I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.
But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.
She wants to give China a chance to catch up with the west… apparently.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris warned of the “alarming speed” at which artificial intelligence is progressing, joining calls from some industry leaders for a “slowdown” in the technology’s development amid growing public concerns. cnn.it/4rhNw8o
