This is one of the most explicitly racist political ads I’ve seen in a long time holy shit

People taking AI CEOs at their word amidst a blatantly transparent PR ploy to parlay public fears into incumbent-friendly regulation for an industry with zero financial viability on the eve of their record shattering IPOs is the reason why bubbles exist in the first place

OpenAI and Anthropic’s models are so magical and mystical and dangerous, they can do anything! They may even destroy the world! The only thing they can’t do, funny enough, is generate positive cash flow. And that’s where the US Taxpayer comes in!

Friendly reminder that the combined and concerted efforts of the entire palantir/military-tech complex have proven wholly unsuccessful in securing control over a minor channel of water less than 50 kilometers wide

I want to make the case that early AI work isn’t the priority with kids. You can do it, they can do it, whatever. Computing has never been easier.

That said, the chances AI looks like it does now in 5-7 years seem slim. And the enduring parts are lower level anyway.
