Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s β€˜scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to β€œsome seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

Also yeah, being chummy with Hogsett is a red flag for any dem candidate. My city councilor stuck with Hogsett and wouldn’t you know it he (allegedly) groped an 18 year old this summer

I could be wrong, but Dems should be centering entirely around messaging that Stephen Miller is the defacto POTUS despite no one voting for him and he's keeping a dementia ridden stroke victim Weekend at Bernies puppet in office while he illegally usurps control.

I am not a medical professional. I did, however spent my summer after high school working at an adult day center with about two dozen dementia patients, so I know what dementia can look like to different people and at different stages. I am 99% certain he has dementia. But again, not a doctor.

depiction of both fantastical elements and the city of Mumbai. The more simplistic but vibrant colors work with the sketchy, diverse character design to give a unique, surreal feel to this comic. This is definitely worth a read.

This is a recent read for me, and one of the reasons Ram V is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers in the business. With Laila Starr, V shows of his proficiency in tackling high concepts grounded in deeply real humanity. The art from Andrade and Amaro is great too, beautiful in its

(by the way, how much I write about each entry to this thread is not a measure of how much I liked a book. It is more representative of how much time/energy I have to put into it each day, and a little bit of recency bias)

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends
