Why are corporations announcing business deals from the White House? There doesn’t seem to be any public ownership/benefit here, aside from potential job creation. Which could be significant. But the American public doesn’t seem to gain anything from this new company.
There's a good amount of irony in the results that AI have achieved, particularly if we reach AGI - they have improved individual worker efficiency by removing other workers from the system. Naming it Stargate implies a reckoning with the actual series itself - an accomplishment by humanity. Instead, what this pushes, is accomplishing the removal of humans from humanity. I like cool shiny tech, but I like useful tech…
> Instead, what this pushes, is accomplishing the removal of humans from humanity. If you buy the marketing, yeah. But we aren't really seeing that in the tech sector. We haven't seen it succeed in the entertainment sector... it's still fighting for relevance in the medical and defense industries too. The number and quality of jobs that AI replaced is probably still quite low, and it will probably remain that way eve…
You'd really think that arguably the leader in generative AI could come up with a unique project name instead of ripping off something extant and irrelevant. But then again that's their entire business, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
I've been meaning to read a relevant book to today's times called Engines That Move Markets. Will probably get it from the library.

According to the business plan, solving world hunger and ending disease comes AFTER the 1/2 trillion dollar AGI buildout.
I read the announcement and the first three words that came to my mind were... "Hammond, of Texas" (apologies to those who haven't watched SG-1)
I'm watching the announcement live from the white house and something about this just feels so strange and dystopian.
