How will we know when a moratorium on AI research is needed to avoid runaway superintelligence? Easy: when someone uses AI to help the underprivileged or stand up for civil rights, the Supreme Court will rule that that’s illegal and in so doing will save us all from runaway superintelligence.

Anyone who isn’t staring at their phone or spraying powdered cocaine in all directions via a propeller hat with nozzles and a backpack-worn powdered cocaine tank with advanced pneumatic systems and battery-powered air compressors is most likely a AI-compromised agent

At this point we will need a shadow docket ruling ordering the president to detain the runaway ai agents, deport them, and liquidate their possessions to a safer asset class such as shares of a new Responsible AI Blockchain Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Basically, if you start seeing woke things start happening, it’s probably a runaway AI. You should be very suspicious of friends and family who say things like “a better world is possible” or “everyone deserves dignity” - this is textbook AI psychosis

Some principles for euthanizing the rentier in a renewed democracy. 🧵 Rather than asking how to protect democracy from finance, we must ask how to redesign finance so that democratic commitments become the highest-priority promises in the system.

I seem to recall being lectured by "moderates" back in the early 2020s when I used to say this. It was obviously right then, it's obviously right now: abolish ICE.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The financial points that Ed made were quite interesting (and worrying). I also don’t see how it’s going to be profitable. But I disagree with Chris’s statement that you need to be solvent to be sustainable. Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, AIG, et al prove that you don’t!

That’s the problem with critiques of AI. There’s so many things wrong with it. Ed didn’t even get to all of them. But lack of usefulness is just not one of those things. Nor is lack of creativity. I just wish people would stop saying it’ll never do anything really new or that it doesn’t actually (2)

…make people more productive. Thats just not true. There are a lot of pitfalls to using it, but overindexing on the pitfalls is not the way to make the sharpest critique. It’s argument-by-kitchen-sink. “The dog didn’t bite him, he provoked the dog, and it’s not my dog” (3/)

If people don’t enjoy their work, the economy is not good. If people want to do a certain thing but cannot get paid to do it, that’s not a made-up problem. It’s exclusion at the level of macro planning and investment.

Abolishing DHS, which was created under the Bush administration alongside ICE and Customs and Border Protection, has long been an idea championed by much of the left. Many advocates have reupped their calls for the abolition of DHS in recent weeks. #abolishice

One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

I’m sure they can get better if they practice on additional cities! As you allude, it’s a big country! Plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training. This is not about portraying resistance as futile but rather portraying the enemy accurately.

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

no one knows how big the typical congressional district is much less the size of the country. ICE can’t even hold down a mid-sized city.

What is “blowback”? Are we talking about the blowback from the access Hollywood tape? The blowback from the Jan 6 insurrection? How does blowback manifest, besides in words from pundits?

jamelle@jamellebouie.net

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November
