Like many in the AI space, Farid said that those who use breakthrough technologies will outlast those who don't.
"AI" professor tells everyone to use "AI". With the usual fatalism that nothing can ever be done about anything.
One option for example would be to fire all "AI" professors. Another one would be to outlaw "AI", just as nuclear energy was outlawed in Germany and DDT was banned worldwide.

- walleeee 1y ago> limit allowed computing power This will of course be the policy set by physics once we have exhausted all the easily accessible energy reserves: limited everything power. Nature will conduct Butlerian jihad with no great zeal or ardor, but with just patience.
