Regulation is always by motivation. Charges can be delayed, cops can decide not to arrest, prosecutors can decide not to prosecute, etc. Government was supposed to be high-trust, but Nixon weakened the trust, Reagan explicitly took aim at i

Kids were helicoptered and scared by their parents and communities into thinking there's a predator behind every bush. No wonder.

It sort of happens with prohibition too. And illicit activities have higher price tags than licit ones.

The link is the sign-in link. It's not a paywall, it's a bad link though. And there is nothing in Substack with that title as a search term. Maybe a ploy to juice signups?

This has been predicted as one of the higher-paying jobs that will remain after AI takes the lower-value ones. Entirely human touch, and while someone can crank out many many sex bots eventually, humans will retain cache. Of course the prof

Both can be true. I'm not going to apy to find out if the openings are real, stale, or just up to satisfy some appearance of job openings.

Corruption that concentrates on one party whether that party is in or out of power, too.

Post title misses the "AI datacenters" component. Of course OpenAI will ignore or downplay the real grassroots dissent. Data centers are approximately as desirable to live near to as landfills.

Having read plenty of 1970's and 1980's sci-fi, I feel that clanker is the perfect term.

Even true things like the imminent award of an honor are "fake news" (Mark Twain Award, to Bill Maher). War crimes are, well, unseemly.

Undefined: "excess". Unscoped: "regulation". Pretty thin gruel.

Could be some astroturfing, but compared with fears of drag queen storytellers and wind farms, there is a lot of sentiment ready to be mobilized here. Externalities of data centers on this scale, and the outright lying on what's going

The entire process has blind spots. Starting with adding more demand for electricity, more demand for mined materials that harm the people and environment. Amazon hasn't helped the global environmental footprint in any way. If you work

Nadella is good at messaging. It is difficult to actually believe he wants to do anything but push it as far and wide as possible, and addiction is fine. It's just spin on the wording.

When any entity grows sufficiently more powerful than others in its ecosystem, it can dominate the ecosystem in ways that might not have been foreseeable before it grew dominant. Perhaps they could have been foreseen but weren't, there

Security analysis and monitoring will spread more widely, but will also need to be super cheap. More software means more attack surface.

Sure, but has their rate of value added increased as a result? It's a good question to ask. They added value before LLM coding, and now are more expensive than before thanks to token costs.

Maybe not "you", but how motivated are you to be in control? Not as much as those who angle for the CEO and board chair roles, or to be kingmakers, or to run for various offices. And they very much tolerate being feared.

How's that work? This is Texas where fossil fuel is king, isn't it? How does that actually play with the politics?

Could be done, but either PITA or privacy nightmare or both. Key fob isn't your token, needs to be something else. Your fingerprint? And it won't be using your apple apps, no way apple lets those just show up.
