Right now the biggest limiting factor in AI is the high end chips you need absolute shitloads of to run your models efficiently. A big part of the CHIPs act and other export restrictions to China is based on keeping them from accessing the hardware needed to operate equally powerful AI models. So one avenue of attack is to regulate the chips and look really close at anyone buying up large numbers of them.

Alternatively we could just start the Butlerian Jihad.

That seems like it would inhibit a variety of different R&D avenues in addition to adding a ton of burdensome regulation and cost to purchasing computer chips.

D.C seems like a bad town to carjack people in. Just the number of bodyguards and security services and cameras...

It wouldn't matter what parts you targeted because it would all be reformed into something worse in the aftermath. Creating a scarcity of labor is 100% the first step to fundamentally changing how the federal government operates, and it wouldn't be away from Ice or Bpd

That's not how the constitution works. That law is loving stupid though.

It’s been really amusing seeing all of the goons try to trash talk the AI/ML advances as simultaneously completely worthless and capable of eliminating all their jobs.

Deep fakes are a terrifying concept that we will see more and more of soon.

GPT can give you imprecise and incorrect information but it can also save you massive amounts of time on a wide variety of tasks

AI art is extremely impressive and nobody outside of forums posters actually cares when half a pinkie is missing, nor expects that to be a problem forever. The ability to imagine some ridiculous concept and see a computer spit out an image of it in a few seconds is incredible.

There’s an element of buzzwordiness and grift going on but the impacts of AI/ML applications hitting the mainstream are very real

The AV aspect of AI is where it's most impressive, imo. The kind of workproduct it produces in terms of coding or legal analysis is more harmful than helpful. I imagine they'll get those applications improved in the future, but generating Audio and Video signals has already reached a pretty dangerous place. There were a couple proof-of-concepts for using AI to crack voice verification security, and I just saw an ad on Twitter for some kind of revenge porn generator program.

I know people use AI in their jobs, but I haven't really yet got a good grasp on what exactly they use it for. It seems like the kind of thing you would offload stupid makework bullshit that might exist in a corporate environment but isn't actually key to operating a business. Using AI to do your accounting or provide legal analysis just seems like you're setting yourself up for failure. Same for medical applications or really any kind of work where being right is important.

I'm not sure what you're basing this comment on, but as a cybersecurity incident responder I've seen a dramatic increase in social engineering attacks against everyday people in the last year and it's definitely not impacting only the elderly and the corporations.

People in their 20s, 30s and 40s are sending money to deepfaked friends and relatives who need to get their car out of impound, or pay a ticket, or get bail money, or emergency rent help, etc. I know of half a dozen successful attacks in the last three months just among people I know personally. Sophistication of the attacks is increasing, and peoples' vigilance is dropping due to fatigue because everybody is hosed and in trouble right now financially.


Wouldn't that level of personalization suggest that those individuals are being targeted by somebody they know? The efficacy of large scale phishing campaigns or redirects or whatever seem to rely on the fact that many people use certain sites and could expect an invoice from apple/amazon/whoever based on their recent activity. Getting enough information to specifically suggest that somebody is at the local jail / garage and needs money for their ${carMakeandModel} or whatever would suggest a level of granularity that should be hard to maintain

He thinks that this is his out. He didn't bankrupt the company - an advertiser boycott bankrupted the company. Therefore he isn't a bad CEO. It's the woke mob that cancelled him that's ultimately responsible.

I gotta say, I don't think this is a smart move (duh). Going after various institutions openly and directly is going to create a lot of friction for Elon and his businesses. It'll be interesting to see if this results in any kind of regulatory blowback, or just further boycotts of his companies.
