The main way to stop drones is to jam the signal from the operator. This creates a strong incentive for drone warfare to become autonomous as quickly as possible. (This is just an observation, not a policy recommendation.)
The future of AI has become a Rorschach test where everyone sees what they want. The Left envisions a post-economic order in which people stop working and instead receive government benefits. In other words, everyone on welfare. This is their fantasy; it’s not going to happen.
MOUNTAINHEAD costume designer Susan Lyall on the All-In Pod: “It was a very good source of research for me. One of the hosts, Chamath Palihapitiya, went to the inauguration of President Donald Trump and he showed pictures of all the things he wore. I couldn't believe it. He had a Loro Piana jacket here and a Brunello Cucinelli there — he obviously really knew his stuff.”
Nobody was caught more off guard by the DeepSeek moment than the AI Doomers.
They had been claiming: — that the U.S. was years ahead in AI; — that PRC leadership didn’t care much about AI; — that China would prioritize stability over disruption; and — that if the U.S. slowed down AI development, China would slow down too.
All of this turned out to be profoundly wrong. Now, ironically, many of the Doomers — who prior to DeepSeek had tried to ban American models now currently in use — are trying to rebrand as “China Hawks.” If they had their way, the U.S. would have already lost the AI race!
Imagine you had a humanoid robot. You could teach it to do anything. When it recharged, it could upload its learnings (on an anonymized basis) to all the other robots. It could be the most powerful data network effect in history.
The Biden administration’s policy on AI: — Insert DEI requirements into AI, making it WokeAI. — Hobble American AI companies with a hundred pages of unnecessary regulation (Biden E.O.). — Burden American semiconductor, data center, and cloud companies with 200 pages of unnecessary regulation (Biden Diffusion Rule). — Limit energy production and permitting, making massive data center build-out impossible. — Exclude the countries with the largest sovereign wealth funds from partnering with Team America on AI.
Politics is "mainly a brainwashing competition" and to deprogram yourself, "the first step is recognizing you're in a hallucination created by media." @ScottAdamsSays insights and humor are brilliant, unique, irreplaceable. Praying for him.
After the Sam Bankrun-Fraud fiasco, it was necessary for the Effective Altruists to rebrand. So they are trying to position themselves as “China Hawks.” But their tech deceleration agenda is the same, and it would cost America the AI race with China.
