I don't think this bill would be that effective, but I do feel that if we as a species don't do something drastic soon, we won't be around for a whole lot longer.
And I'm not sure if it's even possible to do something drastic enough at this point - regulating datacenters would just make companies move to other countries, just like this would probably just make companies move out of CA.

- synapsomorphy 2y agoTo me, AI is clearly on a trajectory to be more intelligent than humans in a few decades or less, even if it isn't that smart now - the funding and talent going into it these days is just crazy and there is no fundamental difference between the logic of our brains and transistors. I personally don't believe humans can coexist with a superintelligence. I agree with your point and most other points about the negatives of regulating compute but like, if the other side of the scale is species-level genocide, does any of it matter?
- squigz 2y ago> if the other side of the scale is species-level genocide, does any of it matter? Possibly not, but I have to disagree with your assessment of our future. It doesn't seem as clear to me that we couldn't co-exist with an AI superintelligence (putting aside any arguments about what that even means for now)
