I swear to God whoever does this will win the presidency. It's the only issue that has broader consensus in our polarized society than regulating AI!

Others: garage or screened door open in summer, gone due to AC. Don't see neighbors tinkering on or repairing something in the garage workspace. Releatedly: Borrowing low usage items/tools from neighbors. Slower, less efficient errands leaving slack for socialization. Larger families means exponentially more kid overlap. Less age siloing.

Maybe a substantial input to community collapse is simple, a move people used to make regularly that wasn't generationally transmitted and is now no longer done by default. Like introducing people to each other as just a standard thing that everyone does a bit of on the margin.

Because the people who want them built told them they would be used to create a machine species to replace humanity. And because they are already dealing with the more immediate social and economic side effects of AI. And because they want to send a message the only way they can that they want the trend stopped. “Why are you opposed to mask mandates?”

Why are people so afraid of data centers?

@futurenomics "our TAM is the human labor market" is the explicitly stated business model of these AI companies, so it seems dicey and slim that a belated marketing messaging change would compensate for the fact that the political-economic consequences would be abysmal for mankind writ large..

fundamental problem with the AI safetyist movement imo. they want transhumanism, they want an AI command economy, they want everything a normal person who might sign on to their cause wants desperately to NEVER happen. good for the open source community tho

if u read ai 2040 and go "what the fuck do u mean handing over power to artificial intelligence in 15 years?? that's a nightmare too fuck that" then despite short term goal alignment we in fact fundamentally don't agree. causing the singularity is goal priority #2 as soon as possible after making sure it's safe.

@orphcorp every AGI company is "completely out of touch with the pulse of society & operating based on a sort of quasi-religious fervor", what did you expect from an industry which pitches "we'll take your job, put you and your children on UBI welfare, but we might also extinct mankind"?
