@nytopinion: The idea of “pacing the frontier” to ensure A.I. safety has taken hold since the hack of Hugging Face. But as the Opinion columnist Ezra Klein argues, “walking quickly off a cliff is only marginally better than sprinting off one.” In this video essay, he explains how we got here — and what frontier labs like Anthropic and OpenAI must do to regain control. #theezrakleinshow #nytopinion
no matter how good RSI becomes, it still can’t physically build its own data center and physically power itself. To act like we’re all just bystanders to AI is to ignore the physical limitations it can never have.

Or that it’s a bubble and they’ve reached some limits and they’re trying to save themselves. While continuing to raise capital.

They desperately need an excuse to back out of the AI bubble without scaring the markets. This way they can keep saying yeah we will grow indefinitely but we're good for it scout's honor.

This is an incredible explanation of exactly what needs to happen. As a huge fan of AI and its potential, and as someone who uses it every day and even teaches other how to implement into their lives, this explains exactly the concerns I and many others have. AI is advancing at such a rapid pace that if we don’t do something immediately to curtail it, we are essentially designing our own doom. from the infinite number of problems that a self-learning AI could unleash. Everything from developing bio weapons to hacking the economy to impersonating others on social media, the list is never ending. Something must be done, or we are all screwed

What’s the real end-game here because I don’t buy that it’s not nefarious…. Who is the “us”?… These tech moguls have never ever before cared about the safety, wellbeing, or resources of the average American… Who is the “us” that they’re suddenly worried about?

Genuinely amazingly frightening that society is just embracing it and way too many feed AI chats with so much personal information

Or are they slowing down in order to try and make a profit ahead of trying to go public? They’re certainly not asking to slow down out of some belated sense of morality.

How does AI still get investment capital? Who actually wants this semi-apocalyptic situation outside the tech cult? Surely sooner or later the money isn’t going to add up once it becomes clear that replacing workers means no one can buy products anymore
