Altman describes building himself a full-access AI memory assistant, sounds a lot like a second brain / exocortex
"Whenever you centralize power, you attract the power-seeking self-interested people." @beffjezos basically argues that attempting to prevent bad actors from using AI by centralizing power and control basically hands the lightcone to the sociopaths
The singularity looks smooth from the perspective of the observer falling into it says @beffjezos: AGI is just the next mile marker (physical intelligence/robotics), then biology, then quantum-level matter control, each unlocking its own tech tree (self-assembling matter, engineered meta-materials, manual chemistry).
Buy data or generate data at a profit? @balajis tells the story of what got him to move from academia into business and tech.
on @Kerissilicon, @balajis talks DOGE, @elonmusk, $175T in debt, USAID, US misadventures in the Middle East and America's decline
On @CogRev_Podcast, host @labenz expresses surprise that the U.S. eased export controls on chips and China didn't want them. @deanwball reframes it as predictable given China's self-reliance planning and the convergence of U.S./China industrial-policy styles, lamenting that genuine expertise on Chinese government behavior stays behind closed doors in Washington.
The interviewer, @ShahrilHamdan, frames tech leaders as modern philosopher-kings reshaping society outside of normal democratic channels, and @balajis answers on two fronts: first a pro-democracy credential dump (technodemocracy, on-chain voting, funding open-source rule-of-law tools), then some perspective: tech wealth is the newest of new money, made largely by immigrants and outsiders who were marginal to American life, not political class inheritors.
