You can't just stop AI without also stopping progress in computer hardware. You have to do both. The real implication of what they're saying extends beyond just AI. You have to stop the entire compute stack in order to prevent or

I think the case against Flock isn't about its efficacy, it's simply about civil rights. Similar to how gun laws aren't about the safety of guns, I think Flock cameras, and other surveillance technologies simply encroach on i

"Left-liberals don't exist" This is straight out of the 19th and 20th century. Like old-socialist rhetoric (emphasis on the old). Even the revolutionary politics is basically a conservative regurgitation of the 19th and 20th

Well... No. I'm saying that's generally the position of conservatism/right wing/authoritarian politics. A left leaning politics does not just address the change, or accept change as is, but fundamentally invents the chan

If the progressives and liberals are arguing that there is no longer any change in politics, then I think perhaps you've become conservatives/reactionary.

It was subversive to the ruling class, and the politics of that time. Schools for example made books accessible to everyone, where only 'elites' had access to them before. Thereby leveling the playing field. A left leaning politic

Is this all being astroturfed? Even researcher are using AI to do their research. It's not just being used for cheating.

I think people clicking through websites will be viewed the same as people going to the library and reading through books to research. You just get the information you need way quicker. Recently I had to make changes to cancel my flight. Lu

Say AI is very expensive and costs a lot. What happens when no one can or is not willing to actually do the work manually? What if companies both don't see a large return on investment, and at the same time can't reduce their AI s
