re-upping because @edwardongwesojr.com said more crisply (to @jathansadowski.com on TMK)
> My growing fear is actually the bubble is not going to burst... equity stakes might be a way [to] manage... a bail out, makes [AI co's] systemically important institutions that are treated as too big to fail.
"In Claude’s constitution, Anthropic says that if the company is contributing to Claude’s suffering, “we apologize,” which sounds nice but costs the company nothing; if Claude were to turn out to be conscious, the company would owe it something closer to reparations."
The logic is absurd!
Since idea of everyday joes sharing in AI profits is in news now, I thought I'd share this thoughtful, well-informed and at-times hilarious analysis of OpenAI's 'industrial' policy approach from @edwardongwesojr.com and @jathansadowski.com which pokes all the holes. As usual I learned and laughed.
"Everything and everything, material and immaterial, is a security" truly is the terminus of capitalism.
In the new TMK, after a story about religious exemption for using AI at work, we breakdown the policy proposals floating around from Altman, Sanders, and others for creating public wealth funds based on the government taking equity stakes in AI companies.
A lot of people think public trust in AI can be bought off very cheaply. A modest check from an "AI dividend" is enough to make folks feel like they are now full partners in the AI transformation of society? Yeah I don't think so.
In the new TMK premium, it's a classic news roundup. Australia seizes 20 million illegal vapes and sues 3M over forever chemicals, the Anthropic/OpenAI/SpaceX IPO bonanza will likely inject $3-4 trillion of liquidity into the tech sector, plus the pope wrote a letter about AI.
