Another day, another load of bullshit from the tech industry. Posted this on LinkedIn:
> Regarding the "AI Letter" calling for a pause to large-scale AI:
> 1. The Future Of Life Institute, which put out this letter, is more aptly called "The Future Of Life At The Expense Of Present Life". They are a dangerous longertermist organization, and by definition their espoused values are sociopathic. Do not take this letter at face value
> 2. This industry is literally *begging* for outside regulation. All the harms, real or imagined, that AI can cause are being pushed on society by many of the signatories of this letter. They are telling us that they cannot control themselves, that they cannot help but push harmful technology on society. They are asking us to rein them in, and we should.

> [1] Why longtermism is the world’s most dangerous secular credo
> [2] The Dangerous Ideas of “Longtermism” and “Existential Risk”
I get the feeling that this is a coordinated "shock and awe" campaign aimed at forcing a certain brand of AI down our collective throats even when many of us don't want it.
@abucci I certainly don't want any of this. I already give up way too much of my digital data and footprint to these asholes 🤦♂️

If, as a big company, are behind a small one and lack the competence and knowledge to achieve the same, you call for a stop! It is all money driven.
