Nigeria has oil.

Does China not have any companies that can make RAM? Seems like an opportunity to grab some market share. But maybe they don’t, or maybe they’d prefer to sell it to AI companies too.

We’ll be getting the opportunity to rent low-powered cloud computers at premium prices, and if you want to keep your data that costs extra.

Using your money.

In the UK it has been this way for a while now. But if you commit genocide that’s all fine.

Shut up and get back down the mines or your robot manager-security-cop will have to terminate you. Meet your billionaire-enforced quota and you’ll live to enjoy another day of mining.

Next: game companies can subscribe to NVIDIA anti-AI-cheating AI. This is innovation under capitalism.

It’s a blockade. Go fishing and the USA will kill you. Try to ship oil and the USA will steal it. From anyone else this would be called terrorism and piracy.

Not just the tech industry. A huge proportion of the US economy is made up of betting on AI. Like the crash of 2008 (but worse, some predict) it will hurt everyone but the richest, who will become even richer.

So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

They’re probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.

Nothing inevitable about it. That kind of thing only happens when you’re defeated in war, taken prisoner by your enemies, or when your entire country sees and regrets the course it has taken. Bush and Cheney faced no consequences, and Kissinger faced no consequences, because no one in a position to bring that about wanted to. Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, Smotrich and the rest will face no consequences unless Israel’s apartheid regime falls. And that looks unlikely in the near future.

They’re still preparing, gathering names for the day when they have enough force:

I don’t think it’s AI. It looks like bad human writing. An AI wouldn’t use clunky non-idiomatic phrases like this:

He noted that the area of the pipe break is part of museum spaces that will undergo a major renovation…

Also, A LLM would be unlikely to say a flood led to a burst pipe when it has lots of examples of writing where the causation is the other way round. A human having a brain fart might make that mistake though.

I suspect this article was written in a hurry by someone whose English isn’t great.

Even more efficient: humans do the specs and the implementation. AI has nothing to contribute to specs, and is worse at implementation than an experienced human. The process you describe, with current AIs, offers no advantages.

AI can write boilerplate code and implement simple small-scale features when given very clear and specific requests, sometimes. It’s basically an assistant to type out stuff you know exactly how to do and review. It can also make suggestions, which are sometimes informative and often wrong.

If the AI were a member of my team it would be that dodgy developer whose work you never trust without everyone else spending a lot of time holding their hand, to the point where you wish you had just done it yourself.

It also means introducing censorship of all messages and movements that don’t support fascism.

How about falling to fascism and alignment with Russia or the USA, one country at a time? The process of undermining European democracy internally is already well underway.

Maybe if we send Trump enough poutine we can get this thing over with quicker. Send him 12 servings per day!
