So it is your opinion that in the future llms will take extremely vague specs and turn them into fully functional software that actually works the way the prompter wanted it to? Does the prompter sit there with the llm all day answering the

Practically any entertainment product is going to have problem users(food products too, along with alcohol and other drugs). There are people who play video games to excess or watch tv to excess and it is harmful to them, but that really ne

It should either be illegal or not. This idea that the state has a monopoly on getting money from doing a thing that you are saying is bad doesn't make sense. If it is bad and yet the government is allowed to use it to make money then

> What if the EU's geoengineering dropped Russian temps by -2C on average? Then Russia makes some empty threats and the EU negotiates with Russia about what to do next. You are really just suggesting paralysis even if you don't

I didn't say I was against AI or a true believer that AI will kill us all. I said it represents an existential risk. It could be fine. Just like dropping the first atom bomb was an existential risk. Pretending like there is no possibil

We are ALREADY doing it. It is already going poorly because we are doing it without any goals. So we can just continue geoengineering with no aim, or we can act with purpose. There is no third option that is realistic.

We are already geoengineering every single day. There is no version of this that has no risk. We can continue to do it aimlessly, or we can act with purpose.

They won't do that because it makes no sense. They will just complain about it and maybe refuse to trade or do some cyber attacks. No one would take this as an act of war just like no one takes cyber attacks as an act of war.

Switching away from fossil fuels is a gigantic ask compared to having some planes release a ton of reflective particles into the atmosphere. It isn't even expensive. 15-30 billion per year would be enough to cause 1 degree Celsius of c

Of the major powers the eu is probably the most at risk. No one else is going to save them and they should be acting to save themselves right now.

>However, we need a global consensus for geoengineering. Why? Does china or the us need a consensus before taking existential risks like making ai? Or detonating a nuke that had a tiny chance of setting the atmosphere on fire? Or attacki

The eu is stupid for not engaging in active climate engineering right now. They are the most at risk and should take decisive action before they end up living in a glacier. All the downvotes are just showing why no action is being taken eve

I don't think that kind of protectionism will work with a digital asset. It is much more difficult to erect barriers when there are no physical goods and transportation across geographic borders is instant and free.

How can anyone see what is happening in Ukraine and not realize the future is not just 1 starlink, but also a Chinese one and a Europe at a minimum. Probably many other countries will make sure to have at least a regional one as well though

Do you understand the scale of Chernobyl if they had failed to stop the meltdown? Half of eastern europe would be uninhabitable. It would've killed 100s of millions.

Chernobyl was almost the largest disaster in all of history. I'm not saying nuclear reactors are unsafe now, but the reality is that a true disaster at a nuclear power plant literally means the end of huge amounts of land, enough to en

Projection always "works". If someone drives a car into a lake the car wasn't the problem.

It is about force projection though. Ok, you have a bunch of drones in the US, now how do you use them to attack Iran or in the pacific theatre? Yes, aircraft carriers aren't nearly as unstoppable as they were in WWII, but they are sti

I think the pressure is just coming from behind the scenes. The religious right knows many of their views are unpopular so they don't act in the open. They find underhanded ways to force their views onto us. Abortion bans wouldn't

No, it's just obvious that there is a massive race going with trillions of dollars on the line. No one is going to reveal the details of how they are making these AIs. Any public information that exists about them is way behind SOTA. I
