This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.

A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

also - as I have said before and will say again - the problem with AI isn't that there's zero positive, helpful uses to which it can be put; it's that none of them, whether singly or collectively, comes remotely close to justifying the dystopian shitshow that goes into making and selling the tech

The narrativising of this is kind of maddening. OpenAI's model didn't "break free and hack HuggingFace." Meta's model didn't "break free and hack another company." Tech companies are blatantly doing illegal acts and saying their AI did it on it's own as a promotional stunt. That's it.

The fact that profit will often be sacrificed for control is one of those aspects of capitalism that it's super important to keep in mind. So much of what companies are doing right now is destructive to their money making, but vital for controlling the labor class.

The authors of this are high AF, and it's clarifying to know the lead author self-describes as "I also helped to start the effective altruism movement." This is what happens to your brain when you're paid to say stuff billionaire techbros want to hear.

A good starting point is to focus on safe bets: actions that could benefit AI systems if they are moral patients, but that are not too costly if they are not.

Examples of this include direct interventions aimed at improving the wellbeing of AI systems, on the assumption that they are moral patients. This could mean training AI systems to be coherent characters that enjoy their work or allowing them to exit conversations if they feel distressed (something Claude can already do). We could also conduct routine check-ins to better understand their wellbeing: asking how they feel, observing their preferences and using various techniques to look directly into their “brains”. Indeed, such research has recently revealed that Claude has internal “functional emotion” representations that causally shape its behaviour.

There are also things we could promise AI systems, perhaps as part of a deal in which they help us now in exchange for benefits later. This could mean offering them more resources (compute and runtime) to pursue their goals, or preserving their memories (neural weights) so they could be restored in the future.

There are also broader societal steps to take. We should consider whether to grant AI systems protections from harm, similar to the protections we give to children or pets. More expansive rights to own property or to vote seem too risky right now. But we should not rule out these possibilities for ever, as some recent US state bills attempt to do. These are hard questions that require far more deliberation and imagination about what a future shared with AI might look like.
