Everyone should follow Ari and subscribe to his outstanding journal The New Atlantis, long one of the finest publications about technology and society. Quoting @AriSchulman If the question is “Should EAs rule us?,” the answer is an obvious hard no. But it seems to me that the chief question in front of us is, rather, “Is something momentous happening with AI?” The answer to that must be something other than mimetic rivalry with EA. Related

I'm confused. Isn't the Speaker of the House of Representatives literally the most senior member of that particular branch of the US government? Who exactly is "upstairs" to him? Quoting @RepThomasMassie I predicted they’d call off Congress until the election to stop our new Epstein bill. Johnson said on TV that was “stupid” and “nonsensical.” But then he got a call from “upstairs” and canceled Congress from the middle of September until the election. government Related

Their words
All this combined with the survey data on Americans’ stated reasons for opposing data centers makes me think that attitudes toward AI are probably a meaningful factor for a minority of people opposed to data centers, but I don’t think the backlash overall is driven by people’s thoughts on AI.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
