I have a few predictions for this year: 1. Violent attacks against AI CEOs, researchers, and engineers is going to begin. This is due to widespread negative press that AI receives and as well as a pervasive feeling of economic uncertainty and doom in the population. Some of this being caused by the current administration's leadership, but much of it attributed to AI taking jobs and destroying opportunity. 2. Violent…

If violent attacks start metastasizing, it legitimately justifies a police crackdown. Most of the population will be for that.

The pro-Palestinian activists set their cause back a year by overplaying their hands in Columbia at the start of the war. If we want to ensure zero AI legislation for the next 2 years, I couldn’t think of a better way to ensure that than to start potting randos in the streets.

In case someone reading this is thinking similar thoughts: there's no version of reality where doing this will solve any problem. Don't.

Its not really about that though is it?

The people who are doing this stuff are unhinged but why? Perhaps they do not trust law and order. Perhaps they feel helpless and have been led to believe its over for the labour class due to the overhyped marketing and so on.

A serious frank conversation needs to be had and the hyping needs to stop.

They’re some combination of deranged, depressed and looking for a thrill. In most countries they fail to stab someone. Here they have guns.
