Essay lenght but well worth the read.
I've noticed that there isn't much talk here about the current internecine war that is unfolding on the right, spearheaded in large part by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I know this shit is insane and feels bad. But this is a mistake (1/)

Suleyman is also the guy who proposed that the new Turing-test should be based on whether an AI can function as a capitalist, of the merchant variety specifically. If I recall correctly, there was also some specific dollar amount he mentioned.
“…Suleyman has a vision for ‘humanist’ superintelligence…”
The three pillars are “serving as an AI companion that will help people ‘learn, act, be productive, and feel supported,’ offering assistance in the healthcare industry, and creating ‘new scientific breakthroughs” in clean energy.’”

We used to say that the Crypto hype and the AI hype were different. That crypto was just a bunch of grifters stealing people's money but AI had at least some actual tech.
Looking at how the AI companies manipulate each other's stock value I am not sure that statement is still true.

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

They're really doubling down on the "AI are persons with rights" argument.
Character AI “argues that the words produced by its chatbots are speech, like a poem, song or video game. And because they are speech, they are protected by the First Amendment. You can’t win a negligence case against a speaker for exercising their First Amendment rights.”

genuinely what the fuck is an "ai skill" that isn't basic reading comprehension, skepticism, the ability to evaluate sources, and, like, typing?

Churches showing an AI Charlie Kirk telling congregants, through an artificial voice, not to let evil win is a new level of instrumentalizing the dead.
When Trump goes, I think we’re going to see the same thing. Visions and AI slop will abound. Prophecies and messages from beyond the grave.

I wrote about how MAGA is being shaped by a politics of immortality, how Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom reflects this, and what it could mean for the future of Trumpism. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

Next week will see a first in computer science, with the launch of a scientific conference in which all of the papers — and all of the reviews — have been produced by machines

AI bots wrote and reviewed all papers at this conference
Event will assess how reviews by models compare with those written by humans.

Altman is Musk 2.0 in promising the moon.
Seeing Broadcom, NVIDIA and AMD boost off of deals that involve OpenAI promising *each of them* 1GW of data center capacity BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR makes me furious. A data center takes 2.5 years, and none of these supposed developments have even had the land picked. It's all a lie.

Feeling more and more like we need to spend less time imagining precise analogies to Germany in the 1930s—some of which are real to be clear—and start thinking more about what happened to Russia from 1992-the 2010s

And it's their machine god that will, since the other companies (or China) are unethical and will use it for harm, therefore, full speed ahead to get there first. The road to the "inevitable" is paved with deliberate decisions.
This isn't a "why can't we all get along" kumbaya moment. Its a moment to understand all the ways in which the people who created OpenAI, Anthropic etc claiming that their machine god will bring utopia, are the actual "existential risks" to humanity.

Ted nails iy yet again. Great thread.
A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

The imperial boomerang, even in the language used.
ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.
