Regardless I do think you’re overreacting a bit on the political front
Biden hasn't crossed the line yet. I'm not reacting at all, just cautious and making my opinion clear as a way to (ever so slightly) encourage further regulation not to happen.
Dont let perfection be the enemy of good enough, if the price to pay for long term stability is slower R&D so be it
It's not slowing development. They're making sure the common person doesn't have access to it. They are going to ensure only big companies see the benefit.
If it was some other issue I'd flip flop my vote based on that. If I didn't have any issues like that I'd vote on the "generic best party" and generally that's the Democrats.
If I were voting against people's rights I'd just always vote straight ticket Republican.
AI is a layname the field of deep learning. Systems that use data to create a function that performs any task.
There are other branches of machine learning but deep learning with neural nets blows them out of the water when it comes to "pushing the envelope", and aren't really what people think of when they think of AI- even if most use cases really don't need it.
I'd be against regulating those algorithms as well, but they're so boring nobody really cares and they'll always be available open source.
basic non-learning software that people call AI but is basically just a general improvement on say stabilizing video in a recording?
Even chat GPT and other LLMs are not learning as you use them. A really big and growing fraction of stuff your computer does depends more and more on trained neural nets.
Regardless LLMs aint the most revolutionary tech of the century
Oh it is though. Not LLMs, they'll probably go out of date soon. AI is the thing that's revolutionary. Only second to genetic modification, but AI and most other forms of human advancement will likely be hand in hand.
Like solar roadways, or the hyperloop, or the thorium powered car.
This is irrelevant but I didn't buy the crap on any of those.
Or crypto.
AI is actually producing results. It's in use as we speak. It's producing real value. It's not some fantasy far off thing. You can use them today.
And you probably use AI every single day when you open your phone and take a picture. You'll eat these words, and when you do you'll hopefully have access to the tech yourself, because otherwise Mister Microsoft will control who can and can't succeed in the world.
You're just pissed I don't prioritize issues that don't effect me when issues that very much do come up.
And I've seen enough of the world to know how that goes. If you don't stand up for what matters to you, nobody will and everything you have will be slowly eroded away.
Acting like everyone ending up in concentration camps is without question doomerist.
not looking out for other folks usually ends badly for people
So does letting the government put the most revolutionary technology of the century in the hands of big tech. The Democrats choose their policy. If nobody swing votes and you all expect the world to blindly vote Democrat they'll get away with shit they shouldn't get away with.
The ideal scenario is that there are enough people like me that the Democrats think twice about being overbearing and still win regardless.
All you care about is if you get a fancy new toy, and to hell with everyone else’s rights.
AI isn't just a toy. It's a potentially world changing technology and the government wants to ensure the common person doesn't have any control over how it's used.
Denying access to the common person will be the largest act of theft of power from the people to big companies this century.
And like I said. I'm not an idiot who votes for other people. I vote for my interests. Banning AI makes that my interest. Without such a threat, I'll vote for other common goods, because those benefit me as well.
Yeah, the only concern I have so far is the leverage of the defense powers act to require foundational model development to sent red team results to the Fed. That's a hint that will enable them to ban release of models in the future.
That second one doesn't matter when it comes to abortion because guys also have wives and girlfriends who can get pregnant and it's pretty important they can abort when they do. Acting like abortion isn't something that impacts men as well is nothing just isn't the truth.
And I'm not really wealthy, but I live a pretty slimmed down lifestyle with very few expenses such the money is not a direct concern.
When there are no pressing issues for me to vote for those things become stuff I would vote along the lines of, and I side with a Democrats on all of them.
But I'm not some idiot who's going to vote for the sake of other people, I vote for issues that matter to me and nothing else.
Don't fuck with AI (and continue funding Ukraine) and I'll be on their side. Simple as that.
