Indeed to dedicate myself full-time to fighting for necessary AI guardrails.
This is how you can tell it is an article paid for by the AI companies.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

There's no putting it back in the can now, only thing we can do is regulate it
Regulating it won't stop the government from misusing it or reduce climate change. In fact, banning smaller models would probably make climate change worse. Everyone will have to go through government approved chatbots.
Chris is a dear friend of mine of 25+ years (Jesus, time flies). I know Lemmy has a deep hatred of CEOs but Chris is a genuine good guy. He left his CEO job in order to fight the unchecked expansion of AI. The conversations he alluded to in this op-ed include one I participated in. In fact, the bulk of the article is a rework of our conversation. Not every tech executive has a hard on for AI.
Thank you for posting, the insight and having personal reference point. I almost glazed past this article and came to see the replies.
We also know China is not close to catching up. Chinese companies own only an estimated 5 percent of the world’s AI computing capacity — a fraction of what U.S. firms control. Much of Chinese AI firm innovation has come from “distillation” of more powerful U.S. models, meaning they advance primarily at the pace of U.S. companies. If we slow down, they are likely to slow down.
This is super relevant and TIL, the whole not slowing down because China will surpass or catch up is a massive red herring, if this is true.
Fuck all the oligarchs and techbros. None of this is good news for humanity.
The real danger is a dystopian state where AI captures half of all jobs while regulations create a soft monopoly for three companies. They will charge prices low enough to replace you but high enough that you can't turn around and use it to compete against your old boss.
Or they will only sell you if you buy six figures worth at the same time in bulk
capitalism.
acceleration of what?
oh wait, this is a different accelerationist faction. Heres the one refered to in the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL
I've been spreading awareness of that for some time.
My question is open: can you point out an outline of what is being accelerated?
The epstein class knows that climate change will take down civilization (and by extension capitalism). They are hoping to develop AGI wich will find a solution for them.
The accelerationist far right wants the collapse of civilization, so they can rise up from the ashes and form ethno-states.
Theres also a third religious billionaire faction with similar motives but i lost my notes about them.
You got it in the first try: capitalism.
The weird part is noticing leftists supporting accelerationism.
the ai threat is the usa, as per usual
Xi looks like he's been holding his breath for some time in that photo.
