Even Bernie Sanders acknowledged on the senate floor that in a perfect world, where AI is owned by people invested in world benefit, moderate AI use could improve many people’s lives.

I don't think you should make a claim like this while AI is being heavily subsidized and burning VC cash to stay afloat. The truth is whatever value it may add to such a society might actually be completely negated by it's resource costs. Is even "moderate" AI use ecologically or economically sustainable?

who finds this unpopular and has an opinion they care about? it doesn't seem like they have any problem doing unpopular things otherwise as long as a specific group of people are pleased with it.

SBF wasn't doing securities fraud with only crypto, if that's what you're thinking of. Also a pyramid scheme and not a pump and dump.

Normal money can get you a visit from the SEC when you do securities fraud with it. Has that ever happened with a crypto pump and dump?

This is also why people who complain about how “our tax dollars” are spent are missing the point. Their tax dollars don’t fund the government or any of its activities. Taxes are just an inflationary control measure; money is created when the government spends it.

I mean it’s also really really good at money laundering and other financial securities scams that are otherwise illegal in real currency. IDK why OP is being so dismissive of that.

As long as the gov refuses to regulate it, it’s going to be useful for crimes. On the off chance we ever get a government willing to actually do anything but war crimes and graft, regulating it would destroy a lot of its utility and value.

You can just say you did that without having to pay the money, the only thing you’d be missing is a website (that probably won’t be around much longer) confirming you did that. That’s kinda why NFTs didn’t work.

Who else would be? Was there ever any doubt about who dropped the bombs? They think that killing children is ok because you can just construct a delusion to shift the blame.

You must use clips from the military propaganda video game in your official White House war propaganda videos to… defeat Putin. Got it.

You can ask the LLM the same question a hundred times and it might not give you the same answer it gave someone else. The way it responds is a combination of random chance and the language used to ask the question.

The fact that he is Jewish means he should say Israel because it draws a necessary distinction between Judaism and Zionism. Jewish people being openly anti-zionist makes it clear that conflating it with antisemitism is disingenuous.

I think at this point I'm much more concerned about a food source's ecological viability rather than it's economic viability,
