@wintonARK Total propaganda

On this inane and harmful proposed AI bill in NYC A close family member had fallen ill, had an elevated respiratory rate, immune suppressed due to chemo, no fever. A registered nurse was going to administer Xanax, assessing anxiety due to agitation. I intervened because I was cross checking against AI. Sepsis as it turns out. He well could have died. People talk about the economic impact of these laws, and yes it would be economically disastrous to deny people access to these tools. The plain fact is however, if this law passes, people will die. Advocating for a bill that denies people access to life-saving technology because you’re trying to virtue signal to some politically favored (and contribution paying) guild is immoral and grossly negligent.

@r0ck3t23 Yeh right where’s my fully autonomous Tesla you promised by 2019

Elon Musk just said the AI community is misunderstanding the math of superintelligence by two orders of magnitude. Not slightly off. Not directionally wrong. A hundred times off. Musk: “Most people in the AI community don’t yet understand. The intelligence density potential is vastly greater than what we’re currently experiencing.” Everyone is focused on the hardware race. Bigger data centers. More GPUs. Nuclear power plants built to feed the compute. That’s half the equation. Musk: “I think we’re off by two orders of magnitude in terms of intelligence density per gigabyte. That’s just algorithmic improvement. Same computer.” Read that carefully. Not more hardware. Not more energy. Not more capital. The same machine. A hundred times smarter. Through software alone. That’s before the hardware improvements compound on top of it. Musk: “And the computers are getting better. That’s why I think it is a 10x improvement per year type thing. 1,000 percent.” A thousand percent compounding annual growth rate in raw intelligence. A system that becomes 10x more capable every twelve months doesn’t follow a linear curve. It doesn’t follow an exponential curve that human intuition can track. It follows a curve that human intuition cannot simulate at all. In year one it’s 10x smarter. In year two it’s 100x. In year three it’s 1,000x. At that point, the gap between that system and a human brain is wider than the gap between a human brain and a calculator. This is the math the public isn’t running. The models aren’t just getting better. They are compounding on themselves at a rate that makes every previous technology curve look flat. Musk: “The intelligence density potential is vastly greater than what we’re currently experiencing.” We aren’t approaching superintelligence on the timeline most people imagine. We are already inside the curve.

@Nigel_Farage Yeh…sure

This election was a victory for sectarian voting and cheating. Matt Goodwin was a great candidate for us. Roll on the elections on May 7th. It will be goodbye Starmer and goodbye to the Tory party.

@carolecadwalla @dailytelegraph Gammons hate losing

@dailytelegraph ‘It’s difficult to know what this means’. It’s really not. ‘Sectarianism’ is a racist epithet. Matt Goodwin made a racist and inflammatory losing statement. It needs to be described clearly and properly otherwise UK press is going to perpetuate racist narratives.

This is racism, pure and simple. It’s also a test. The UK press needs to describe it for exactly what it is: that Reform’s candidate made a racist and inflammatory losing statement

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

@Channel4News Funny that it took a bit of searching to find this news on X

French prosecutors have raided the Paris offices of Elon Musk's social media platform X. The cybercrime unit, backed by Interpol, began searching the premises Tuesday morning. Officials said their investigation was linked to an investigation into X's alleged manipulation of its algorithm, now widened to include "sexualised deepfakes" allegedly created by its AI chatbot Grok. X has yet to comment on the raid but has previously denied any abuse of its algorithm.

@carolecadwalla Not doomery enough

Please read this. The UK political & media establishment is asleep at the wheel. We have made ourselves wholly dependent on a Trump ally for our national security at the exact moment Trump is threatening to invade a NATO ally open.substack.com/pub/broligarch…

NEW: The Palantirisation of the UK military is a national security disaster. Peter Thiel is now the third wheel in the US-UK ‘special relationship’. 1/

@MarinaPurkiss He obviously has a great understanding of AI

So go on then MAGA… Were they his words? Or were they AI? …and just now deep in the cult are you?

@ZiaYusufUK @Bleache1rs Wow…you guys are really worried about him!

We need to talk about Zack Polanski 👇

How the world will probably end..

Something usual is happening in Paris this week

@lombardodier No it didn’t

The US dollar slumped over 12% in H1, its sharpest fall in 50+ years. With the Fed poised to cut rates while peers hold firm, pressure mounts for further weakness. We explore what this means for the greenback and past precedents.
