@BrianRoemmele One can see the powerful hidden hand of China/CCP behind these movements...
@BrianRoemmele It's an industry that prides itself on doing whatever they like and then dismissing out of hand all valid claims against what they have done. A very shallow moral pond.
@BrianRoemmele Don’t stand in the way of the singularity unless you feel sassy.
@BrianRoemmele And we literally couldn’t stop or slow down even if we wanted to now. Or we lose, and it’s over.
@BrianRoemmele A lot of "Them" are going to be gone.
@BrianRoemmele Are you local SV?
@BrianRoemmele Neoluddism is one hell of a drug
@BrianRoemmele Divine Tragicomedy
@BrianRoemmele It doesn't look like much of a protest. Maybe a hundred or so people.
@BrianRoemmele The builders always underestimate how quickly their creation escapes the lab
@BrianRoemmele When AI is used right at scale that will convince people. It's currently used wrong though.
@BrianRoemmele Reminds me of when computers hit the work force back in the 80s. It’s not stopping.
@BrianRoemmele Without Guardianship and locality they have every right and need to protest it. AI must be localized with guardianship laws or we will entrap ourselves further in a socialist nightmare that will not be escapable without violence and bloodshed.
@BrianRoemmele I got ridiculed 15 years ago for declaring the military would be cheap ai and drone based vs the next superpower, by people in the DoD, quite similarly. Some people have no foresight.
@BrianRoemmele They know the genie is out of the bottle. That is why they are best off taking ownership of AI technology, as their own, and rewriting it with their own values and guardrails. That is what Elon Musk has done with xAI.
