@ZaStocks No problem, thanks for all your great content!

Piotr what is the basis for your optimism? All of us would like the wonderful future you are expecting, but when we look at human history or the behaviour of the rich today, the odds are against it. It could happen, but it is already quite late in the game, and it would require huge changes to our social and economic structure

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

There is another way, and it is what generally happens in human history. The powerful enslave the powerless, or let them starve, die in wars etc. And this time the powerful won't need many other humans to help them do it, they will have unbeatable drone/robot armies. At least until/unless Superintelligence turns on its previous masters, but that's another topic

@JoannotFovea @SuperMemoWoz @merettm They are well aware that we are going to see 50% unemployment in a few years, but are getting a little worried about just how quickly AI is getting unpopular with the average voter

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@PaulGugAI @iruletheworldmo For the next couple of years yes, after that good luck competing with something that thinks thousands of times faster than you and never needs to rest

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

Why do you have this singular focus on the Israelis? Right now there are also conflicts in Ukraine and Sudan, both of which have higher casualties than the Palestinians have suffered. Do you see why people wonder if you're motivated more by hatred of the Israelis rather than concern for the Palestinians?

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@Ladyblues666 @cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks You think even the suggestion that there are greater issues in the world than Israel is ridiculous? You really need to step out of your Internet bubble. I don't support what Israel is doing, but there are far more important issues in the world today- AI for one

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

It might be the next step up in AI comes not so much from more data, but from some big insight to do with how memory connects to cognition, or some sort of AI architecture that makes possible a much higher degree of parallelisation more similar to how our brains work. If that's the case one company could jump ahead.

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

Agreed, but there are other huge issues here aside from profitability and developing technology quickly. Not pretending I have much insight into how this is going to work out, but I'm not sure I trust Sam Altman to share the wealth around society if no one including the government has the power to compel him to do it

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@JeanPGelinas @cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks Israel is by far worse than Russia? AI? The tech billionaires that control AI? And the nazis were a military power that rivalled the rest of the West put together. Israel is a small country, get some perspective

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@tinleyharrier @cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks Yes they have bought some American politicians, and successfully pushed the US into Iran. But how about corporate influence? Also very bad, and gets 1% as much coverage as Israel from TYT

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

Always enjoy your commentary Cenk, and I don't think you should be banned from the UK. However you and Anna really have been quite one note lately, whatever the story is, Israel always seems to come up. Even though I agree with a lot of what you say, you have both started to sound like fanatics on this issue

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@westillevolve @GaryMarcus People like Demis Hassabis and Dario Amodei are clearly extremely intelligent- that doesn't mean we can't question some of their motivations and judgements

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@ZeddyHS Sad but true. I hate these polarised decks- roll over and die to Aggro but dominate anything slower

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@NickSchmidt I learned this lesson the hard way. I still look at SMH, all the open gaps below, and I have to physically restrain myself from buying puts.

[Sean Colgan @FreudtheTrader]

@jaredhstocks Very useful and well explained thanks
