Woke is a specific ideology that it places every individual into a strict hierarchy of oppressor/oppressed according to group racial and sexual identity. It rose to prominence in American culture from around 2012, starting in universities. It revolves around a set of core concepts including privilege, marginalization, oppression, and equity. Now that we've defined what woke is, I hope we can move on from this 'you ca…
This is a recently imagined, ret-conned definition of what it is, complete with bias, to serve the purposes of the right wing. The definition, if there is to be one, should include that it isn't consistent across time or across political/cultural boundaries. I recommend people don't use the term with any seriousness, and I often ignore people who do. Address the specific ideas you associate with it instead, if you want to have a meaningful discussion.

#763If you stop progress in AI in US other countries will go ahead in that field. US cannot loss and give lead in AI to other countries. Instead it is better to focus on minimization of the harm by AI in other ways. For example, if the fake information is the problem instead it is better to focus on the education of the people about fake information and how to identify it.

#764Did not have the time to watch the recording yet, but was there any discussion about protecting the copyright of the creators of the sources used to train the models? Or do I need to call my friends in the music industry to finally have it addressed? :-)

#765Open AI lobbying for regulation on common people being able to use AI, isn't it wonderful.
Roko's Basilisk will have a special layer of hell just for Sam Altman and his decision to name his company OpenAI

#766This is the message I shared with my senator (edited to remove information which could identify me). I hope others will send similar messages. Dear Senator [X], I am an engineer working for [major employer in the state]. I am extremely concerned about the message that Sam Altman is sharing with the Judiciary committee today. Altman wants to create regulatory roadblocks to developing AI. My company produces AI-enabled…
> Now, because we had the freedom to innovate, AI will be bringing new, high paying jobs to our factories in our state. Do we really have to play this game? If what you’re arguing for is not going to specifically advantage your state over others, and the thing you’re arguing against isn’t going to create an advantage for other states over yours, why make this about ‘your state’ in the first place? The point of electe…
> The point of elected representatives is to represent the views of their constituents, not to obtain special advantages for their constituents.
The views of their constituents are probably in favor of special advantages for their constituents, so the one may imply the other.
I mean, some elected representatives may represent constituencies consisting primarily of altruistic angels, but that is…not the norm.

This is the definition of regulatory capture. Altman should be invited to speak so that we understand the ideas in his head but anything he suggests should be categorically rejected because he’s just not in a position to be trusted. If what he suggests are good ideas then hopefully we can arrive at them in some other way with a clean chain of custody. Although I assume if he’s speaking on AI they actually intend on c…
I remember when a different Sam — Mr. Bankman Fried came to testify and ask a different government agency CFTC to oversee cryptocurrency, and put regulations and licenses in place. AI is following the path of Web3
At least AI has legitimate, actual use cases.

#769Not the first time that OpenAI has claimed their technology is so good it's dangerous. (From early 2019: https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/17/openai-text-generator-dang... ) This is the equivalent of martial artists saying that their hands have to be registered as deadly weapons.
50% of AI researchers think there’s a greater than 10% chance that AI causes human extinction. It’s not only openAI and sam who think this is dangerous.
Re: Sam Altman goes before US Congress to propose licenses for building AI
#770We need to MAKE SURE that AI as a technology ISN'T controlled by a small number of powerful corporations with connections to governments. To expound, this just seems like a power grab to me, to "lock in" the lead and keep AI controlled by a small number of corporations that can afford to license and operate the technologies. Obviously, this will create a critical nexus of control for a small number of well connected…
I would triple vote this comment. 100% , seems like a group of elite AI company who already stole the data from internet are gonna decide who does what! We need to regulate only the big players, and allow small players to do whatever they want.
