Amodei holds today's "Don't be evil" rep. A cynic interprets AI maven warnings as liability insurance. No 'moratorium' will happen. 'ethics training'/Robotic 'laws' can't work. I describe a path in AIlien Minds. AImavens avoid it like - accountability. https://t.co/eCAtR03krP? 477 views · 5 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Argh! I managed to avoid SMBC for moonths. But always eventually someone sends me the latest link and then I must slog through them all, clicking backwards in time, one by one, till I reach one that seems familiar and I've 'caught up.' https://t.co/VnASQ1hIsP 822 views · 2 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@DavidBrin Why would I want to order Elvis sideburns? I do object to them, but I’m not sure why that makes me a Confederate. 11 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Again. Order yours and wear it proudly past Halloween and past the elections. It's a win-win. It makes your point. And anyone who objects is essentially calling themselves Confederate traitors. (Which they are.) https://t.co/izDSJBldwn? https://t.co/4ZnSmo33j7

I give 25% odds the oligarchs will pull a Howard Beale martyrdom as their "Reichstag Fire." And this jet is one potential way oligarchs might manage it. Stay on your toes, Secret Service and Air Force! https://t.co/lRJZoTw0np~ 1.4K views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

US universities, pride of the GI Bill generation, uplifted millions from poor and middle classes to compete with inheritance brats of oligarchy. Stymied the Plan to restore feudalism! Trumpists seek to end the upward ladder the Greatest Generation built. https://t.co/rPRAOjgJqQ? 950 views · 5 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
