How do y'all feel about the fact that this is what current AI discourse, policy money and research is most influenced by?

I'll start. Every day I wonder whether everyone else is living in the same planet as me or if I'm in the twilight zone.

@timnitGebru sounds like another tech bro who read Dune & still thinks Darwin was about the strongest surviving.

Bet the idea of diversity gets called rude names by he & his fellow travelers.

@Sminney @timnitGebru
Never even considers how often species have cooperated rather than competed.

And also leaving aside ENTIRELY the fact that AI is currently completely dependent on human-maintained infrastructure to, like, you know, even exist.

"Yes, lets outcompete those puny mortals that maintain the power gr—"

It also occurs to me that the tech bros in question seem to be a little foggy on the concept of "supply chain."

They who control the power cord control the world, MWAHAAHAA!
