A response to this rather insane, if mostly well-intentioned, proposal (for nationalizing AI Big Tech companies) from the great Senator @BernieSanders.

The risks of hacking robot lawnmowers have been on my mind since I first saw Frankenhooker back in the day... now the future is inevitably upon us...

OK yeah though... This can be joked about because the news article that provoked me to remember this classic 1990 film masterpiece was just an experiment where some guy hacked into a "smart lawnmower" and took it over from a distance to prove it was easy to do [see Verge article linked above]... nobody actually was hurt...

Crude jokes aside though: Yes this is what can happen when the computer-security apocalpyse hits smart-ish hardware. The need for a decentralized and provably-secure-by-construction Internet of Things has never been more obvious... I wrote a little bit about this in https://t.co/alhpwycpg5 ... and we have a lot of the needed infrastructure already there with https://t.co/AjruqB6xNA and https://t.co/08T0UzYF7C and more coming with ASI:chain ....

Literally been saying this for years.

@ylecun (who once trashed me for saying stuff like this) has become a carbon copy of me.

He has done this so regularly, and without acknowledgement, that it has become hard for me not see him as a thief.

@SchmidhuberAI’s experiences have of course been similar.

The media should stop glorifying LeCun.

And they should start looking into his past.

The Leaky Transcension Hypothesis:
What — if anything — might we be able to tell about superintelligences that have disappeared into black holes? https://t.co/T7JNnY9PNR

TL;DR -- if some sort of tendency-to-take-habits / morphic-resonance / precedence principle holds, then one can prove some degree of abstract/coarse pattern leakage in and out of black holes. So we can at least take a blurry partial peek at who might be in there!
