  • It’s more that they want to say “AI Dangerous”. It’s step 2 in the oligopoly playbook:

    1. ”It’s a perfectly safe miracle solution. Invest with us or miss out."
    2. "It turns out it’s really dangerous. We need the governments to make tough laws that coincidentally prevent start-up companies from competing with us, (while we don’t sell you any RAM chips.)
    3. “Remember those miraculous investment returns we promised, the evil governments forced us to spend them all on lawyers and stuff. Sorry about that. But the good news is…”
    4. “We have a new safe sure-fire miracle solution (to something new and different). Invest with us, or miss out!”
















  • You got my hopes up.

    I don’t wish Alex anything but a long life after a hopefully complete rehabilitation of his sociopsthic habits.

    But I do have a nice drink set aside for my own enjoyment on the day that I’m convinced Alex will stop harming others.

    I don’t have any particularly strict rule about how I get convinced he is done hurting people. I suspect I’ll see it in the obituaries rather than an op-ed. But I’m open to either.

    Alex doesn’t seem likely to fix his life, but he also looks like he doesn’t cares well for his health…so I do have that drink near the front of the cabinet.

    Oh well. My nice drink can wait. Maybe I’ll open it to celebrate his reform yet. Like Alice, I try to believe six impossible things before breakfast.
