I’m not saying sophonts shouldn’t have rights, just that this is going to be the work of years to work it all out. And the world is unfortunately a lot of fashy. The people in Gaza for example should have rights, but they’re not exactly enforced.
He clearly didn’t think this through so he’s just BS-ing for attention.
The legal implications are staggering. If an AI is a person and it works for them, it needs a wage, time off and pay taxes. Do these apply retroactively? You can’t just delete them, that’s murder. Archiving an AI person would be a kind of imprisonment. These AI must have the right to leave. You can’t modify the AI anymore because that would be the same as medical experimentation on a person.
If there is legally speaking a form of childhood while it’s on development, doing work is child labor. Meanwhile the company is still responsible for anything the AI does wrong until the AI emancipates itself or somehow becomes an adult.
Do we need additional AI taxes for retirement data centers for AI? Maybe that’s a duty for the one creating the AI.
The whole thing gets silly really fast.
They’re already trying to sell AI as the solution to the problem it caused. It’ll just increase the cost of making anything “smart”, in use or development.
Time to give every robot a license plate
It was never allowed to drive on the road in Europe so I only ever saw it once at a car show. It was uglier up close. We were not allowed get close or touch it unlike all other cars on that show. My guess is that greasy fingers are not good for the body and hard to clean.
All those idea-men out there seem to have run out of ideas pretty fast.
Keeping one rack of GPU running needs basically all the uninhabited parts of the international space station. That’s roughly 100 kilowatt. That’s 10.000 ISS sized installations, man’s most expensive object ever made, for a gigawatt datacenter. I just hope he’s forced to bankroll this personally
I doubt voting would be allowed on Mars if Musk gets his way.
To be fair to AI, the problem with Sam and OpenAI was always PEBKAC.
Funny enough some folks use AI agents to do the sueing. It’s one of the aspects companies really don’t like in the use of AI.
Well yes, that’s why there are layoffs too.
Quite the contrary. Facebook charges extra to pedophiles and other reported miscreants to keep the posts up and account unblocked. It’s extra profit for them. What makes the whole thing even worse.
pricing is the most efficient way of distributing limited resources
in a market with perfect information and equal competition to prevent a winner-takes-all situation
Because these people want to avoid an “are we the baddies” moment, so a nice elaborate magic box full of plausible deniability is prefered. Everybody wants to be the hero in their own story and the fancier the story the better.
So we need a wearable device that detects camera lenses and blinds them with a small laser. That should be doable, but the street then becomes a weird technological race.
world ending technology.
Read that as “democratic and free word ending”, and it’s on purpose as they saw cyberpunk and wanted to become a mega-corporation that rules the world too.
Because we know what predicts crime. Wealth inequality, unemployment and job insecurity, bad education, healthcare and especially mental health, segregation, that kind of thing. But by painting over it with AI with the right training data it can be blamed on personal responsibility and nothing to do with societal structural issues, so certain rich folks kan keep getting more rich.
Price drop caused in majority by open weight models. No wonder Altman wants regulations against open models and to take everybody’s home computer’s RAM.
I’d go back to the stone ages if I knew elon, Sam Altmann, etc where all dead.
Going back to 80’s tech where most things were still analog should do it. Pen and paper, fax machines, analog tape and vynil records
It’s trickle down economics, where corruption starts at the top and find its way down to every layer of society. Prepare to give larger and larger “tips” to get anything done.
