WmRyland @wmryland.bsky.social · 09/10/2026In other words, the only thing that can save ai from itself would be a dramatic reduction in required compute, which would allow it to focus on what it can do. Absent that advance, it will implode as surely as a dropped rock falls. 000 0
WmRyland @wmryland.bsky.social · 09/10/2026If ai could work without such enormous infrastructure investments, it might be contained to the things it can actually do.

WmRyland @wmryland.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Darkly funny that he offered up San Diego along with LA, given SD is easily the most militarized major city in CA and pretty conservative. Kinda lets us know that SF isn’t in his threat briefings, which, whew, I guess 000 0
