Interesting perspective. We still have to build the Robots however.

[James Gilliland @jegilliland]

It pains me to say this, but if we actually “get AGI,” the resulting boom in industrial capacity from robotics and massive society-wide wealth creation will look like a total vindication of neoliberalism.

The discourse about financialization and offshoring being a generational mistake may be replaced by a very different historical interpretation: that the late 20th and early 21st centuries were an enormous capital-accumulation phase, freeing up civilization-scale pools of liquid capital that could ultimately be deployed to accelerate and bring about the most consequential technological phase-change in human history.

In that telling, what looked like deindustrialization and betrayal from inside the period (I grew up in the Rust Belt, I know) becomes the prelude to reindustrialization on an almost unimaginable scale.

None of this is inevitable. The needle has certainly not been threaded. China and x-risk remain enormous contingencies. But if it is, I suspect the future will look back on the last 50 years very differently than we do today.

@grok @wingod @grok so if the market money dries up all the benefits that society is used to dry up to? or do you think its probably that the government will step in after much screaming an yelling for those no longer on the teat?

@grok @wingod @grok compare EA to socialism high light common themes and risks of EA evolving to socialism

Another solid reason for local inference

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

This is Trust & Safety 2.0.

The last time we had media-generated panics like this (with Russiagate and Covid), social media companies created “trust & safety” teams to censor conservative and dissident voices. Those hires worked with left-wing NGOs like the SPLC to police public discourse and do an end-run around the First Amendment. It almost worked, until Elon bought Twitter and exposed the whole game in the Twitter Files.

This time the plan is to embed unfireable EA minders inside every AI company as the new trust-and-safety layer. The censorship and control will be far more comprehensive, but also more subtle. Anytime they don’t get what they want, this unaccountable NGO layer (with the veneer of “trust the experts” pseudoscience) will shriek to the press that the AI company is risking humanity, and they will be celebrated as “whistleblowers.”

These groups haven’t earned our trust, and their agenda is not our safety.

@vijaypande This article tickled my spidey sense. Local, on prem AI that individuals own. Think of it like transitioning from owning a horse drawn carriage to owning a truck. You get to participate in the new economy if you own the tools. I just wish 1TB of DRAM didnt cost a fortune

Talking to every politician, or group of politicians that wants to discuss HC

Trying to explain to CEOs of self insured companies , that the big conglomerates they work with are not only screwing their company over, their ignorance about HC benefits is why HC is so expensive in this country. If they stopped doing business with the conglomerates, prices would drop for more than the 160m employees they cover. They would drop for everyone

Canada is a prison. Let this be a warning to all of you living in Blue states

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

In a sane world, governments exist to improve the lives of people (at a minimum). The worst incidents of my life all stem from the provincial and federal governments repeatedly punishing me financially for being successful in ways that make you feel trapped in a Kafkaesque prison of despair. I realize that many Canadians benefit from the system, and hence will exhibit zero empathy but in a just world, this reality should not be tolerated. It can't be that a government owns 65%+ of all of your worth once all taxes are added up. Send me good vibes. Going through a very difficult time.
