    hmm.-- what exactli do u mean with reading things?

    do u mean - like - we shud write stuff? or do u mean we shud share stff from sources?


    anyway - if ur gonna read a thing - ig one of the most influencial onces is this AI 2027, which shows how the upcoming “AI Race” between china n the us will most likely lead towards missaligned ais, which can and likely will do veryveryvery bad stff.

    why i say “upcoming”? its cuz the early steps of ai 2027 r already outlined in this text released by the US government a few days ago Americas AI Action Plan

    currently, china is beating americas largest, best llms with much smaller (but still big) open-weight llms, despite their compute deficite.

    i believe, china has the best researchers.

    so the US has to really push for self-improving systems, instead of their current compute-forward approach, if they want to win.


    in case u meant image gen when talkin bout genai, then im sorry, i duno anythin bout that… i dun see much value yet n thus dont care, besides for the obv copyright stuff (which llms also have obv)

        oh yea- AI 2027 is like - literally-literally like - the exact thing ur askin for.

        the peeps workin on it r well known researchers, som left openai cuz of uncomf feels. its an unreasonably well documented takeoff timeline, always linking back to current research-

        it does howevr not talk bout anythin copyright. its mostly jus bout advancements, job replacement n ai war stff

    this piece is very well researched, if a bit catty and over the top in it’s tone.

    It’s more focused on the business side of things, less on the technical side, mainly how there is no path to profitability for any of it.

    If I were to add anything, it’s that any real reason to fund this stuff is probably for it’s use for social engineering, less for consumer of business use cases. But even then, it would probably be cheaper and more effective to have people do that work.

    Theorists: there’s conspiracy everywhere!

    When there are multiple blatant conspiracies,

      i did intend this to be not specific to current era. i had conspiracy family members and everytime they spoke it was clear they thought this horrific news thing (whatever it was) made them feel comfort bc it meant they were right. i Hate that people can think that way
