So in other words, a senile puppet whose understanding of the underlying technologies he's legislating is limited to tom cruise movies acting on the dictates of oligarchs bent on regulatory capture. https://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-and-demis-hassabis-just-want-to-control-ai-2023-10

It's not a total 1/1 comparison because the Confederacy of Independent Systems were essentially just a bunch of megacorps thinking that with the automation technologies they possessed, if not for the monopoly of force of Republic law and its jedi enforcers getting in their way, they could build...

Why would anyone buy it from them when they could also sweep the net and download it for free?

The thing about fears of oligarchs-with-AI and misaligned AI is, they're functionally afraid of the same outcome. Ted Chiang was right when he described rogue AI as Silicon Valley technocrats envisioning a boogeyman in their own image. It'll try to take over the world? Make everyone unemployed...

The utility was never aimed at you the consumer in the first place, rather, it was always meant as a weapon against you. The only reasons a toaster could possibly need to connect to a network in the first place would be so the company manufacturing it could spy upon and sell your bread...

It's simple, kill the big corporations. If they can't monopolize franchises made generations ago by better writers with copyright laws and, as is apparently the case, can't write worth shit themselves, and if everyone has generative AIs which rival modern starpower and special effects budgets...

New development, an Art AI for music. https://app.songr.ai/

Logic is arguably sound.

Once again, Peter Watts was prophetic.

This. If anything, we approve of AI art because if it isn't stopped, it'll free us from the current status quo of all expensive-to-produce forms of media being propaganda. If amateurs with freeware from the web can match Hollywood for star power and special effects, Hollywood will either need...

Again, it doesn't have to be perfect, just better than current Hollywood. That's not really a high bar.

We're not the intended audience. For anyone rich enough to own AI and automated infrastructure, "you'll be able to replace your human employees with machines which are cheaper and incapable of striking" is great news.

Have been for two decades. Give it an appropriate paintjob and keep it sufficiently distant and constantly moving to prevent anyone getting a good look and I can't imagine anyone wouldn't be fooled.

The new approach for treating paranoid delusions by changing reality to match is creative, I'll give it that. Didn't James Morrow have a story about that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_Aren%27t_Real

Yes.

Again, this is targeted at us. Modern 'AI safety' is already regulatory captured to see someone threatening hollywood's propaganda monopoly or the existence of chatbot thoughtcriminals as bigger problems than billionaires openly fantasizing about robot armies.

The thing is, this version of 'AI safety' is politically motivated rather than actually being about safety. https://cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/io/publication/generative-language-models-and-automated-influence-operations-emerging-threats-and This is attempting to ban private ownership of computers...
