It’s incredible how we went from everyone laughing at the YNGMI crypto bros to the entire economy being built on top of YNGMI AI bros.

- Comment on The Ethics of Generative AI 4 weeks ago:
All artwork for the series was hand-drawn by Anna Rettberg (x.com/aerettberg) without generative AI.
For context:
Demetri Spanos (PhD) is a 25+ year veteran of AI development. He wanted to speak out about the negative turn that his field has taken, but he didn’t have an audience so he turned to…
Casey Muratori, an accomplished software developer with a considerable media presence, who makes a good fit for Demetri in this case because while Casey himself is an AI skeptic, much of Casey’s audience are young professional devs who are probably using AI (whether enthusiastically or reluctantly) in the workplace.
The title of the video should be read as “the ethical questions and proposed frameworks that have appeared throughout the past 30 years of AI research”, not “an affirmative argument for the question of whether the current crop of AI software is ethical”.
(Spoiler: Demetri makes strong arguments that the industry entered unethical territory more than 15 years ago)

Corrections are the piece that the public sees, but liability has more to do with being able to prove in court that you took reasonable steps to make sure you were providing accurate information.

They would rather see zero.
Dan, thank you for this question. It’s really at the heart of the work that I’m trying to do now, which I call thanatocracy. So, it was John Locke who said political power is making laws punishable by death.
And I think anyone who’s studied Marx or studied other political economists will see that the human surplus arises from reducing the value of the workers to zero, as close to slavery as you can get. So, that’s the matter of value theory and political economy. But I think it rings true for most everybody that the boss is trying to reduce wages, the workers trying to increase them.
And the boss, unless he reaches some opposition, will go down to zero. You know, as long as labor is plentiful, as long as a new generation is created, or as long as immigration is possible, slavery is the tendency of capitalism. When I say slavery, I mean reducing the value of the human life to zero, to nothing.

- Comment on Steve Wozniak says he's "disappointed a lot" by AI and rarely uses it 1 month ago:
In context, it sounds like he’s “disappointed a lot” by people choosing to use AI, which is a crucial distinction. His objection is one of kind, not of degree.
AI’s generated text is “too dry and too perfect, and I want something from a human being, and I’m disappointed a lot.”

Middle ages:
Peasants share common land and tools — it’s not so much that they collectively “own” it, but that “ownership” is not a concept that applies, because the land is an obligation and not a product.
Then come the enclosure acts, which take all of the land that the commoners have spent their lives contributing to, and give it to the wealthy.
And then come some of the bloodiest revolts in history. And coinciding with this, you have the Luddites objecting to the wealthy replacing their common workspaces with factories that maim and kill people.
The Luddites attack the factories, and destroy the machines. And the British eventually defeat them, using an occupying army larger than the initial wave they send to fight Napoleon.
Digital age:
Peasants share common online spaces — it’s not so much that they “own” them, but that they share a mutual obligation to each other to maintain these spaces.
Then come the tech oligarchs with their AI, and…

Oh hey, it’s vibe reporting again.
Notice how it’s not “fired because of AI”, but “fired amid AI push”. They really wanna sell readers a particular story, but they know there’s a journalistic line they can’t cross (yet), so they put two pieces of information next to each other and encourage you to fill in the gaps.
This technique is everywhere.
