My whole vision of the future is we make beauty in the world for each other and we include AI in our lives the same way we included robots in our best sci fi stories.
This video is literally the best best best representation of my hopes and dreams for humanity. If you can imagine it you can make it.

People that are defending Huang are missing a broader point. There should have been a succession plan in place. NVidia was not a startup. Their board and our government shouldn't have allowed them to be the most important company in the *entire* US's economy and be able to be hobbled by a 4-5 inch portion of one man. That is irresponsible on a national level. Now we get to find out what happens when we play out hero worship capitalism to its end point.

I keep thinking that there is not a way to AI abundance that doesn't involve either a) socialism b) mass surveillance, or both.
We'll need socialism because -- assuming AI is good enough to take all the jobs -- if we don't allocate money by a capitalist economy with a competitive labor market, then how do we decide who gets how much? Surely not everyone gets a yacht. Elon says "universal high income" but how high? Everyone wants a mansion and weekends on the Amalfi coast, but those are limited resources.
We'll need mass surveillance because if AI is good enough to do all the jobs, and we allow open weight models, then it will be good enough to help a bad actor do something terrible. How do we prevent that? Ony by keeping tabs on everyone.
Or we could ban open weight models (is this really possible?) and control access to powerful AI. Who gets access? Only government workers with clearance? Certain workers at certain AI companies? Do we make people go to AI school and license them? We have drivers licenses but people still maliciously drive into crowds, so that's probably not enough.
I just don't see a way around these inevitabilities. Do you?

This gets a follow from me. My vision of the future is people making more beauty in the world *for each other*. Removing the friction of sales, marketing, logistics, and customer support, would be great.

As I sit in this dr waiting room it’s clear why the videos my agent copies from TikTok to X never do numbers. X use is default sound off, TikTok default sound on.

Seems pretty conscious to me: "The compact assembly is 34 mm from the base underside to the existing cock top, excluding any protruding rods." (Codex)
