There's apparently been "hundreds" of incidents where AI has gone rogue.
And yet the companies allowing this keep getting more money, more attention, and more power.
The problem is not the AI. Never was.
It's the people who build and control it.
They WANT to cause harm.
Telling stories - true or otherwise - about how dangerous their product is attracts money from people who want to use these tools to hurt others.
Devalue their money. Take their power.
Crash the economy.
Angine de Poitrine inspired my son to try putting zip ties on his bass to mess with microtones for fun.
So... good band.
In a world in which trust has so eroded, April Fools isn't just a bad idea, it's downright offensive and harmful.
We can only play games with trust when we have trust.
Otherwise, it's just cruel torture.
"From Worldcom to Enron, from crypto to AI, the point of the bubble wasn't ever the residue or lack thereof – it was a transfer from working people to crooks. Bubbles are a system for moving the painfully sequestered life's savings of people who do things to people who steal things."

Unpopular opinion: I have no idea why everyone worships Anthony Bourdain.
What is the deal with him? Even before he ended his life, everyone seemed to love him.
I only know him as an irascible chef. They're dime a dozen.
Why this guy specifically?
Everyone told me having a teenager would suck.
Yeah, he's weirdly emotional - so was I at that age.
But it's unbelievably gratifying to hang out and spend time with him.
I miss my little boy for sure.
But I love the man he's becoming.
Kids: I highly recommend them.
Kara Swisher absolutely fucking sucks.
Holy crap is our energy distribution system fucked and fragile beyond repair:
CA has 4-6 weeks of fuel left.
Because we import so much processed fuel.
From other countries.
Partially for environmental reasons, but that's a screen...
Ultimately it's because this system allows energy owners and investors to extract more money, which is more important to them than things like community and national stability and safety.
Fucking perverts, man...
