“Obviously, the great contradistinction here is Europe, where, you know, it’s like people have given up, and we — I really hope that turns around in Europe,” he added.
Europe is giving up by having ethical, human focused, and probably open source AI/and not firing all their scientists and researchers? Meanwhile the GOP is literally trying to sneak language into a spending bill banning regulation for a decade?
What a pizza shit.
I mean, every apologist and defender of capitalist apocalyptic hellscapes will have that view, sadly. So long as it makes them an extra buck it’s good for them, consequences to society or environment be damned.
As an European who does advocate and see value in the use of AI, but not at any cost, I’ll take his opinion as a compliment. As they say, “I want AI to do my dishes while I create art, not for me to do the dishes while the AI produces insta-art”.
And eventually if AI gets capitalistically out of hand and leads to many people in service-based economies to poverty and unhappiness we’re sure to see a revolution to restore balance, as many times in history when a few elites made things unbearable for the rest of the population. AI is here to serve humanity, that’s where the value is, not to serve only a select few.
I agree, and as I keep trying to point out to people in the U.S., I’m pretty sure the reason Trump is not even giving GOP loyalists emergency disaster money when something happens in their state, is because there’s nothing left.
He literally put all of America’s eggs in one basket because he (and Peter Thiel) thought/think if they just deregulate everything and keep throwing money at it as fast as possible they will win, and other countries will be coming to us to buy our AI.
Tbf they are definitely planning to use it for evil, not to make humanity better, but I still don’t see why anybody would buy AI tech from the U.S.
I am wondering what happened in Brussels though, that made them say they’re considering some deregulation.
Trump was also very pissy at all of the EU but apparently Brussels in particular really hurt his ego
Why does it feel like all the worst people are working together to fuck over the world?
Bc you’re paying attention and not sticking your head in the sand.
It feels like it bc they definitely are. I’m in Louisiana and just woke up to find out news my corrupt Governor is being accused of scheming to install a new senator so that he can then have them resign and take both Senate and governor seats for himself.
One of several examples of how Landry and Trump seem to be scheming together to be as corrupt as possible
Even for Louisiana that’s a whole other level of corruption…not even the first Louisiana governor to do it, but the last one was in the 30s.
The last governor that was this blatant about corruption also had a personal vendetta against my city and tried to take it under siege using the national guard
Guess what else the current governor and his doge inspired task force are scheming
Well because AI has been mostly hype and worthless. It has uses, but not as life changing as promised. And extremely energy intensive.
I think it could be life changing, but true progress will take time, like any tech. There’s a reason most scientists know you can’t just throw money at something and just make it work. That’s why technocracy and the idea of chosen elite is so fucking dumb.
Imagine if in the 80s we had just said ok, Steve Jobs did it. We’re done here. We don’t give any outside voices or ideas in tech a chance unless Jobs gives it the ok first. Imagine how much cool shit we would have missed out on if people hadn’t just said fuck it I don’t need all that money, I’ll just make my own shit and make it work with what I have.
Innovation and progress does not flourish in a neatly controlled box, and most people that don’t just buy other people’s work know that. That’s the real reason people started pushing for DEI. Not just bc it was the “PC” thing to do. It helps bring new perspectives which then leads to new ways of thinking and problem solving.
If you completely isolate AI you may get some cool shit but eventually if you just buy out the entire market to fit your singular vision you get repeating/boring and stale.
I’m pretty sure they think they’re at a point where if they just keep throwing money at it, it will just start getting creative and update itself, but when it’s as unreliable as it is, I don’t see that happening anytime soon
It will hit the average person in ways they cant see, my firm isnt replacing retirements because they can be filled by AI. What was once a vital role has been downgraded to the point where it can be completed by an AI, their manager now handles the back office parts and AI escalationz which given their nature will reduce overtime. In a business unit of ~40 people 7 have retired without issue and there are no plans to replace the rest as they go.
Your customers have noticed the decline in quality, guarantee it.
No, I’d doubt it. Its quite a robust system that has been trialed extensively on a use case by case basis. Its also not directly customer facing.

Surprise - people saying things you like are not your friends any more than people saying things you hate.
Surprise - people saying things you hate are not your enemies any more than people saying things you like.
Surprise - the words “socialist” and “capitalist” have no useful meaning at all. Specific solutions devised and offered as part of something “socialist” or “capitalist” are all over the place of the choice of instruments, with nothing uniting them along those lines other than how cover art aesthetics unite books.
And surprise - people saying ugly and dumb things might have a better idea of what they are doing than people who seem very fine. No connection at all.
I think Alex Karp and his colleagues are quite close to having a bunch of Starlinks and AI-powered combat drone networks covering all the globe. Maybe with some commercial stuff working similarly. The future might be theirs. Yep, that’s a very raw and stupid application of computing power and it’s dystopian, but what gets deployed IRL matters more than elegance.
Also this is in the context of USA giving Israel a kick in the butt, so maybe it’s not such bad news that they are getting involved with Arab monarchies and not, say, with Turkey or Russia.
Sound advice would be to adopt the opposite position of anything that sociopath says.
what a fucking moron.
they didn’t give up on it.
they never bought in.
AI is most useful for surveillance and social engineering. It’s no wonder all the fascists love it.
this is one THiels spy tech companies.
