Hey, just wanted to plug an grassroots advocacy nonprofit, PauseAI, that's lobbying to pause AI development and/or increase regulations on AI due to concerns around the environment, jobs, and safety. They recruit volunteers to spread awareness, contact congress, etc -- it's just one more way you can fight back against the AI industrial complex!

Why would China or Russia agree to an anti-ai treaty? Those technologies benefit their objectives quite heavily.

Even if they said they would, unlike military assets like missiles, hiding a datacenter's use case is trivial.

It's not like Russia(or the US) has been following existing treaty rules scrupulously even with the current stuff.

And no, you can't regulate bias. Deep fakes... Some of it, but definitely not all of it. Commercial stuff from Microsoft or meta may be able to he regulated, but if there's any benefit to not doing so customers will just purchase services from outside the country to accomplish that.

Unclear whether AI benefits other regime's objectives - ai could very likely destabilize any regime (the CCP actually regulates AI more than the USA already). Luckily chip manufacturing is very centralized, making it easy to control, and AI training uses lots of electricity and has a thermal signature. You can also use economic sanctions as leverage.

Nobody said it had to be publicly available to be developed or used. Governments can push this along just fine.

Economic sanctions haven't worked against Russia so far, why would they work against China or India or whoever else wants to do it.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
