The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.
But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Generative AI is a societal disaster
Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society

Telling people who are against plundering the environment, theft, plagiarism and labor exploitation that they are doing this complaining because they haven't "invested" in using tools based on such exploitation is quite ridiculous isn't it?

1) This is some pretty remarkable shade thrown at the big AI companies by a startup that's hiring away their researchers
2) That those researchers are giving up millions to do this indicates a rising level of discomfort with OpenAI/Meta/Google/etc's moral standing

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.
He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."
