I don’t understand why Bill Gates still feels the need to do marketing work, he is already rich he doesn’t need to do commercials and blatantingly shill for a product for money like this.
Also the ides that anyone should listen to Bill Gates about needing or not needing government regulation, nationalization or trustbusting is actually insane.
@Yolfen @supersquirrel @yesman It’s aimed at the press and politicians. LLM model progress is visibly stalling so the next step is for OpenAI and Anthropic to go “Booga-booga-AI DOOM” and push for a regulatory environment that freezes out small upstart competitors/Chinese AI firms/self-hosted models. It’s all about creating and exploiting a rental monopoly.
The emerging talk about “AI Chornobyl” is quite disturbing with regards to what this booga-booga gonna look like. If they don’t get enough booga booga from this stupid hacking incident, then what?
What’s really disturbing to me is that now they are talking about the power grid as a target. It’s not like their usual biblical stuff about plagues and locusts. Of course, power grid can’t be that insecure, or Iran would’ve went for it already, but they have privileged access courtesy of all the use of chatbots to run shell commands etc.
