Here's a different Bain study that says the US needs a crash course in innovation to find creative things to do with tar so the tar industry can regain its rightful status as the crown jewel of American business.

The Yuddite/rationalist primary defense mechanism is spurting out a big ink-cloud of thesaurus and number-laden complete nonsense, and then demanding that you waste your time "debating" them over it. The good news is that this trick is easily defeated by simply refusing to play the Debate Me game.

There is no counterargument that satisfies his followers because his argument is elaborate question-begging and him and his followers don’t know enough about the real world to see this. There is no counterargument to “a malevolent supernatural entity would be very scary and dangerous”. It would!

Does anybody know the state of the art in deterring power-hogging facilities via innovative pricing schemes for electricity? E.g. “Each additional kWH above some subsistence minimum is more expensive than the last?”

The real threat from AI isn’t the technology. It’s the atrophying of government over decades: practiced helplessness, subservience to corporations, unwillingness to prosecute wealthy criminals, and a fear of making policy that has consequences. A crisis can force a shift. That needs to happen now.

Sounds great.
According to experts I interviewed, the internet is about to get more frustrating. These agents may cause a cascading chain of problems that shake the foundations of digital infrastructure. Chances are good that you're about to live through an era of online chaos. 
The internet was built for humans with limited time and patience. AIs don't have those restraints. You'll probably have to fight with robots over concert tickets and booking appointments. Small businesses could drown in machine-made pestering. AIs don't look at ads, and websites that rely on them are already crumbling. You'll be buried in endless loops of proving you're human. And if you use these AI tools, some may betray you.

Having just watched the Elizabeth Holmes film, “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley,” my brother’s point was that Holmes, like many politicians and salespeople and evangelists, appears not to recognize “truth” and “lies” as categories, but only to recognize “on message” and “off message.”

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.”
