has a single journalist asked Jacob Coxon if he voted for the corrupt autocrat who dismantled U.S. cybersecurity standards and defenses?

the fact that corruption has hollowed out U.S. corporate oversight almost entirely with the ENTHUSIASTIC support of a massive swath of Silicon Valley should warrant at least a paragraph somewhere if we're going to have any serious conversation about tech ethics

I will die on the hill that corporate power and the right/libertarian assault on regulatory autonomy and corporate oversight is a MUCH bigger threat to life and limb than software going sentient and trying to kill us all and it's not like you couldn't write hyperbolic headlines about the former

Their assault on everything. It’s the story of the century and they’ve decided not to cover it.

God that’s so true. And I’m sick of libertarians thinking they’re any better than republicans.

I never thought I'd live in a country with a straight-up fascist governing administration controlled by oligarchs, but that was clearly a failure of imagination on my part.

It's not a competition, unfortunately. The AI problems aren't just about them going sentient, although that's a concern. The two larger problems with AI today are goal alignment in task performance (see Hugging Face) and misuse of their capability for nefarious ends (today's news about Claude).
