Seems like a pretty easy leap from "Mythos has capabilities we don't want our adversaries to have" to "Future more powerful AI systems could have capabilities we don't want the AI system itself to have if we don't have clear ways of knowing that it will do what we want"
Look I gotta say if you were in DC in 2022 and someone said “I think it’s possible that in 4 years LLMs could be so powerful that the President will ban a general chatbot because of the threat of adversaries using it” there was a high chance they knew me personally
I'm sure other countries are interested in stoking fears about data centers, partly because they might want more of the dc action themselves, but I agree completely that for most Americans reacting to data centers, everything I know points to this being mostly homegrown. Will write my own take on this soon.
looked at the claims that outside interference is juicing up data center opposition
experts say it mostly appears to be homegrown but it’s very likely outside actors will try more as we get closer to the midterms

The only thing the DC establishment can agree on is a love of Jeffrey Epstein — and a hatred of me.
Together, we will take back our government from the Epstein class.

I gave @AnthropicAI's new Fable 5 my hardest challenge: explain the Riemann Hypothesis — math's most famous unsolved problem — to anyone. Two prompts later: a full interactive site this video, scored with music composed from the zeta zeros themselves 🤯🎵 riemann.adilmoujahid.com
If you're part of a social group or org that hates my guts, I've also included full permission for you to copy everything here without crediting me to your own website. We gotta make this craziness stop.
A lot of people often ask me where I get my numbers when I claim that chatbot use doesn't add much to your personal carbon or water footprint, or bring up that different models and outputs have wildly different costs. I made this interactive visual where you can see exactly how lots of different models and prompts affect your total carbon and water budget. All estimates pulled from EcoLogits, which is an open source project that estimates chatbot usage and if anything is much more critical of chatbot energy costs than I am.

One of the more unpopular takes I have is that we should be willing to sacrifice a lot of local environments for the sake of reducing emissions, because solving climate is much more urgent & will have more severe global consequences if we don't. Cut down the trees for solar etc.
