I plotted daily air quality index values in NYC since 1980 and yesterday's values for reference
The solid red line is the yesterday's daily EPA value (254). The dashed red line is the yesterday's max *hourly* value from iqair (whose daily value was 209)

The first reason is to focus the public’s attention on a far fetched scenario that doesn’t require much change to their business models. Addressing the immediate impacts of AI on labor, privacy, or the environment is costly. Protecting against AI somehow “waking up” is not.

Have a look at the prescient lecture on "algorithmic accountability" @benbendc gave for @harvard_data and @RadInstitute back in 2018--he saw the future and had (has!) good suggestions! We *can* use AI safely. Up to us, though. 2/2 datascience.harvard.edu/event/ben-shne…
