Also notable about the recent vibe shift in AI is that it has made Jensen Huang – a plainly motivated CEO of the world's largest company, familiar sort of capitalist, and someone with a legible perspective on the industry surrounding him — sound like a heretic www.nytimes.com/…
Excellent @himself.bsky.social post here, scratching at some of the overbearing tendencies — sometimes subtle and unintentional, sometimes open — in AI discourse www.programmablemutter.com/p/machine-go...
this, from @segyges.bsky.social's AI safety kamikaze post, is a specific example of a feeling shared by lot of people who have engaged with wild ideas about superintelligence (in fiction, at university, etc) but not committed their lives to them www.verysane.ai/p/ai-safety-...

a lot of AI guys have incredibly strange — and I think wrong! — ideas about how people, markets, and societies experience technological change nymag.com/intelligence...
