Mostly useless reading list. Very little emphasis on technical SOTA and mostly policy level waffling.

> I see a lot of HN users up in arms on the front page thread about LG TVs having VPN SDKs within them etc. And then five minutes later they will go back to their frontier LLMs to print their pay cheque. Fucking hypocrites of the highest order. It's oh noes how bad this tech is in my house but we will happily benefit from it.

Something something participate in society

(Or more elaborate: Disagreeing with the status quo does not make you a hypocrite for benefiting from the status quo.)

Seems like you have opinions on what a good reading list should be, so maybe you can post one here.

I generally take the technocratic view of things, in other words you should understand the things you are trying to ban/regulate . Replace AI with vaccines and the problems with how some parties are pushing for regulatory capture and/or blanket bans become obvious. Build policy around the effects e.g. job loss, biases etc. but go full laissiez faire and hands on on the technology. Nukes are 2nd amendment. On the tech…

or you can stop waffling and just give the alternative list thx

Your post seems to have been cut short before your alternative/technocratic reading suggestions.

Without it, you unfortunately sound like a "just do your research" grifter to me.

This has to be a joke or AI psychosis. By that logic, Conway's Game of Life is conscious because it can be used to build the logic gates to run AI models. [0]

Stop anthropologizing the screw driver.
