@JensenHuang @nvidia All good points. But AI frontier models, regardless whether open or closed, are revolutionary and are rapidly approaching AGI level, which means further development should be paused while necessary policy / legal frameworks are instituted. More foresight, less greed is required.

Proponents of automation like to say that new technology always creates more jobs than it destroys. Wonder if this is happening in the UK? https://t.co/nXdSx63QgT

Automation is already claiming UK jobs: study https://t.co/oEeSAhEZue

New kinder, gentler generation of collaborative industrial robots ("cobots") go for as little as $25K, https://t.co/TUditbHeRz

Came across my first article that refers to robots as "automated workers" https://t.co/TUditbHeRz

Per https://t.co/4wLxolPtci, the 5 FAANG stocks have a market value of $2.4TN, equivalent to the GDP of France and 10% of the S&P 500.

Apple's market cap now stands at over $800B. Add $250B the company has sitting in cash gets well above $1T mark. S&P 500 market cap = $20T.

“The Great Narrowing” of the S&P 500 https://t.co/dfb7rQYGtW FAANG stocks gained $260B in market value, equal to what the rest S&P 500 lost

The U.S., Canada and Mexico are buying more job-killing robots than ever before https://t.co/UagdqBuoYK via @Recode

The commercialization of AI won't just automate many jobs, but will challenge human relevancy: https://t.co/vEFBjfZeWi

I wish the job elimination deniers would be more specific about the net new jobs that AI will supposedly create: https://t.co/Cc0Minsj6Q.

Finally got around to reviewing Apple's letter to the Calif DMV re loosening up disengagement reporting requirements https://t.co/O9HO3PiItI

Driverless car companies' pitch about robot cars being safer implies humans should not be driving. Should corporations decide this for us?

[Jesse Roche @CitizenEthicsAI]

Experts agree that AI will be the most disruptive technology ever. Should there be an AI tax to fund the transition: https://t.co/W799OYNu7w

Consumer info is being collected like never before. They should have the ability to access and control it: https://t.co/W799OYNu7w
