iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!

Amazon is seeking to offload about $8bn of advanced Nvidia chips to external investors through a new vehicle aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Seattle-based cloud giant has held talks with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in the deal, which would allow the company to spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips it is deploying in data centres across the US into a special-purpose vehicle.
Amazon will then lease the advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would tap outside investors through debt issuance. By unloading the expensive semiconductors to investors, the company could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Dette her. Det er sikkert noen som først setter opp punkter og konklusjon, så binder dem sammen, så finpusser og så har en tekst. Men jeg nekter å tro at jeg er den eneste som tenker fram teksten i selve skriveprosessen. Å bruke en KI som coach her, ville vært i veien for tanken, ikke en hjelp.

It made the world better. We need to stop being defeatists and just accept crap from those in charge. We have power!

It wasn't the craftspeople who ended up benefiting from the modern looms. When all the dust has settled and venture capital is no longer funding AI use - who will be in control? Who will benefit? Who will be exploited? I'm not impressed by devs today excited by their increased productivity from AI

I think we could have AI agent swarms that could do serious harm to humanity in 6-12 months. Not because they have become sentient, or reached AGI, but because software already controls so much, and current agents can do tons of damage as they are now. We don't need AGI for this to become dangerous.
