@savage309 I suggest you read what happened after the first industrial revolution in England, what were the living conditions of the first factory workers, pollution, etc. Or again, what were the conditions of facory workers at the beginning of the last century in the US.

@savage309 you keep misinterpreting my words. I have nothing against automation. I have worked for improving automation all my life. But automation needs to be regulated so that all can benefit from it.

@savage309 And just to be clear: I have nothing against automation. I have worked all my life towards it. But we have to make sure the benefits are equally distributed, and the only way to do it is for AI to be recognized as a public good.

@jpantaleoni “throughout history automation has often played in favor of the powerful” Isn’t food, clothes, cars and many others available to more than ever before, improving and saving lives, because of automation?

@savage309 And then of course, there still arw nearly a billion people out there who live far below the threshold of poverty, and billion others living on the line, often manufacturing goods (or training AIs) for us in the richest parts.

@savage309 They are, now, in the richest parts of the world. But what did it take for them to get to the poorest, even in the developed world? Many keep forgetting that the first decades after the first industrial revolution have been one of the worst periods in human history.

Re: this "extinction risk" talk, I think Chomsky said it well: "The smart way to keep people passive [...] is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on"

Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority. And Europe should lead the way, building a new global AI framework built on three pillars: guardrails, governance and guiding innovation ↓

Surreal seeing all this “extinction” talk. Imagine the tenets of Scientology steering multilateral orgs and governments. That’s what’s happening in AI.

@kynuen I think it has more likely to do with your shipping address. For some reason the pre-order link seems to only be visible to UK postal codes.

@jpantaleoni thanks Jacopo I'm in Europe and the UK site says it's currently unavailable. Is it possible for a pre-order to be sold out?
