Sam Altman wants an actual license to kill you. This bill: the "Artificial Intelligence Safety Act"😒 would give companies like OpenAI immunity for mass murder including nuclear, biological, and radiological attacks assisted by their bots.

If you mean GOFAI: yes, so like basic programming. Automate away. Fabulous. If you mean AI like an LLM: no, it will get people killed. It's not able to do anything with basic guarantees and will do things like get people of colour and women killed by removing them from the list, for example.

The Rolling Stones makes a hero of the pope. So marvel, so Disney, so white. Fuck that. It's all about communities. We all stand on the shoulders of a lot of people. And the Vatican stands on the shoulders of a lot of historical crimes that haven't been *fully acknowledged* and *repaired* yet!

„AI needs to be disarmed“ doesn’t make any sense at all. These are computational infrastructures. Infrastructures have a defense duality in its core. They can be militarized anytime. They create both dependencies and thus vulnerabilities.This is why they should be questioned instead of normalized
