BANNON: We have $300 trillion of debt at all levels globally, and we're about to have the world's largest margin call.
Here in the United States we have a literally insane bet, a highly leveraged bet, on productivity increases from AI.
By definition those productivity increases would have to come with mass layoffs. Full stop.
Basically AI models were subsidized to show adoption growth curves to raise capital. Then they needed to IPO so they changed pricing model to enhance S-1 filings to show a path to profitability. Now customers are pausing.
Will it matter in the short term as Wall Street hypes into IPO window?
Wow - the OpenAI-Andreessen-Palantir SuperPAC created a fake account claiming to be an anti-AI doomer saying various unhinged things.
This crazy "false flag" behavior is only undermined by incompetence - they were rarely able to get more a few hundred views on each fake tweet.
Funny how they don't want the "least cautious" actors building a killer AGI. They would rather build the AGI that exterminates humans. I guess they must think they are immune from the consequences if they build it. @So8res
Google is planning to release 64 MILLION Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes into neighborhoods in Florida and California.
This is reckless, irreversible biological experimentation on American communities and our ecosystems — with no off-switch.
Florida recorded just 6 West Nile cases last year. The risk is negligible, yet they’re proceeding anyway. These altered mosquitoes could disrupt birds, bats, and entire food chains with consequences we cannot undo.
Enough of Big Tech playing God with our environment and our health.
Tell the EPA to REJECT this dangerous experiment. (Link in comments.)
Public comments close tomorrow, June 5th.
Implausible but real career path: become a Nazi, parade around saying insane things, pitch yourself to the SPLC as an informant, get paid the big bucks. https://t.co/dMCnOtNW5H
Trolling? Data represents a safe and marginal application of AI/robotics. The humans in Star Trek are still fully in control and have agency. Current AI development is happening without hardly any thought for safety or human prosperity at all. All of the billionaire elites are pushing hard for AGI so they can first eliminate what they consider "unproductive" humans from the workforce and then eliminate them altogether from the planet.
Do anti-AI people watch Star Trek the Next Generation and spend their time hurling slurs every time Data walks on screen or the replicator makes someone a nice meal?
There are certain weird mysteries that periodically spring to mind that seem to have been entirely dropped from the public mind, e.g. that FTX was largely a Democratic money laundering operation that paid legions of Covidians including oddball academics who pushed Effective Altruism and also data hounds at OurWorldinData. No one cares.
I find it unbelievable that, less than two weeks before blaming the violence against Sam Altman on doomer rhetoric, @NathanLeamerDC's Build American AI appears to have been supporting the account @jonathandoomer to make posts like this one in response to warnings about AI:
Robin DiAngelo has been MIA ever since I had this heart to heart conversation with her. It’s a shame. I really thought we had a breakthrough moment here.
Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and many others have signed a letter urging Congress to increase security on orders of synthetic nucleic acids - and the equipment needed to make them - as models continue to become increasingly bio-capable.
Here’s your daily reminder the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) and its Interim Executive Director, Jason Zehr, signed a final permit to build a 100MW solar complex on all 4 sides of a Wildlife Management Area.
It’s a region that carries numerous environmental distinctions. It’s so ecologically significant, in fact, that our own state’s @NYSDEC dispatched personnel to the grassland every week this past winter to watch and count the endangered species present.
But for some reason, a foreign corporation out of Canada is allowed to help itself to some of the most environmentally sensitive habitat in Upstate NY.
By ORES signing that final permit for Fort Edward Solar, it essentially voided the environmental law of our state. New York State broke its own environmental law for a money-laundering scheme between @KathyHochul and foreign corporations.
We’re not going to settle for that. We’re raising money to bring forth more litigation against these eco-terrorists now running our state and DEC.
A scientist was hired by a chemical company to study its weedkiller. He found it was castrating and feminizing frogs. So the company stopped studying the chemical and started studying him. This is the documented story of atrazine. 🧵
Is it any wonder property values near solar complexes go down?
This is the signage you’re staring at out your back window. It obliterates any semblance of a viewshed, pastoral history, and the American agricultural way of life.
The same thing would happen if a Walmart or any other industrial complex was suddenly allowed to be built next to your house.
Except a Walmart can’t do that. It has to follow zoning. Everyone around you has to follow the town zoning, or they’ll be fined.
Unless you own a foreign solar corporation. Then you can break from our American zoning.
That’s what makes this more than a “personal decision” to alter your land. It causes a “take” in property values for everyone in the greater area. And it’s causing in-fighting among families and siblings that have been the backbone of our rural villages for generations.
It’s a massive money-laundering operation between New York State and foreign corporations intent on grabbing subsidies, credits, and locking American farmland into 40+ year leases.
It appears that being unrelentingly woke means that you need fewer dorms. Oregon is facing a major budget crisis and will close dorms due to low enrollment. That crisis, however, did not stop it from burning almost a million dollars fighting free speech. https://t.co/nH8D2Z1ZDH
Her son died of an opioid overdose and her cancer may or may not have been accelerated by the vaxx. Tragic proof that being rich is no insulation from the destructiveness of cultural Marxism. There is nowhere else to go.
Vaccines are so terrible that academic journals cheat and break their own rules in order to censor the most important data. It's an astonishing admission of guilt by the mainstream scientific community.
