AI = austerity. Replacing creaking but functional systems with crap that doesn't work is a little bit cheaper, and the money goes to the right people (billionaires) instead of the wrong people (doctors, nurses, cleaners, admin).

Oh yeah Britain didn't become fascist, they just imposed brutal imperialist exploitation on colonies in Asia and Africa lol. It's not fascism if you export it!

It's term time again and I'm back in college. One professor has laid out his AI policy: you should not use an AI (presumably Chat GPT) to write your assignment, but you can use an AI to proofread your assignment. This must be mentioned in the acknowledgements. He said in class that in his experience AI does not produce good results and that when asked to write about his particular field it produces work with a lot of mistakes.

Me, I'm just wondering how you can tell the difference between material generated by AI then edited by a human, and material written by a human then edited by an AI.

While googling around for stuff about them I found this article about a sting Hope Not Hate did on them. They produced a slideshow of doom for a fictional wealthy investor, imagining a proposed eugenicist city state on the Isle of Man.

What is it with these people and islands? Bankman-Fried wanted to buy Nauru. I assume none of them realize the inherent economic and planning disadvantages of building your empire on a tiny island....

They don't want to make a population level impact on demographics, they want their kids to be the new aristocracy

If nothing else, they'll be able to start a great punk band.

Yikes !

Their attitude to kids, based on that nightmarish Guardian interview, is extremely fucked. Hopefully their children will break the cycle.

I am very sure that the only reason they talk about positive eugenics is because negative eugenics, literally forcing some people to not have kids, is taboo. Then again they are pretty stupid and arrogant so maybe they really believe they're breeding superbabies....

A shame. Seems like they were clearly inspired by it .... I guess you can't copyright a vibe.

 

"Total demand for electricity last year grew by 4.4pc, or 1.3 terawatts (TW), but 80pc of that increase, or 1.1TW, was from data centre growth."

Training data for LLMs = higher energy prices and environmental degradation.
