Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

The world seems to currently reward creation of management systems for all the things we've set in motion. This irritates me because there is wisdom in first choosing to set fewer things in motion.

BREAKING: The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts closed Tuesday
afternoon after its board of trustees, led by President Donald Trump, voted to
immediately shutter its doors for two years of renovations.

Underneath is a photo of an electronic sign outside the Kennedy Center flashing in all capital letter “EMERGENCY ALERT. BUILDING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. EMERGENCY ALERT.”Jonathan Edwards O @jonathanreports

Some great reporting from the scene by @janegreybattle.
My paraphrase: At about 4:30 p.m., the center started closing. A message played over the speakers announcing the building was shutting down. Security guards escorted visitors out through the Hall of Nations.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."
