We keep talking about this because... I don't know, everyone's single-mindedly focused on this One Big Thing now. #1485162, #1486740, #1488323
America’s AI titans used to warn about the technology’s extinction-level threat to humanity. “Stop me before I harm the species,” was their gist. Then they radically changed their tune. Anybody today who questions Silicon Valley’s accelerationist drive is an “AI doomer” — a Luddite who might as well be on China’s team. Safety is woke. So too is worrying about your kids’ mental health or your future earnings. Anything that gets in the way of the US winning the superintelligence race is either uninformed or dumb. That includes most of you.
politics, big tech x big government
"It would be wrong to describe Trump’s alliance with the broligarchs as populist. “Pluto-populist” fits better.""It would be wrong to describe Trump’s alliance with the broligarchs as populist. “Pluto-populist” fits better."
Oh, lol:
The notion that Trump would negotiate global guardrails is as real as a chatbot’s hallucination. The AI industry’s ace card with Trump is that its valuations fuel the stock market. There is thus a near-zero chance that he will permit serious regulation while he is president. Big Tech, not blue-collar America, is still very much Trump’s priority.

"Why Americans dread AI"
Proceeds to write an entire article about Trump and China, rather than typical American views on AI.
Much wow.
I know...got totally hoodwinked by that piece... Ridiculous
China won the trade war.
AI is held up as a magic bullet- a way to retain dominance.
It is hype and delusion sold to a populace and US establishment unable to accept reality.
Oh come on, people! All the things the AI boss say are advertising. Just like all the things that Trump says. Nobody actually means what they say, they say it for the effect.
I dream of a world where the phrase “serious regulation” gets you laughed at.
Be careful what you wish for.
US wealth and power is built upon military and institutional dominance and the resultant global resource hegemony.
I hear yah, bru
US empire has lost the trade war with China.
AI is promised as a way to retain an economic and strategic advantage.
As US military power projection capacity looks increasingly outgunned by new asymmetric technologies like drones and Chinas satellite surveillance alternatives the Zionist fiat debt slavery bankers cartel who have always owned the US are now pushing to build their Greater Israel Project before US becomes a failed state as western imperialism implodes.
Ultron showed us a future where AI might just rule every thing, which is why they dread it but money is to be made till then.
