AI and its misanthropy
I have recently, watched the YouTube video, “How tech CEOs are lying to you”, where Karen Hao is interviewed by Aaron Bastani on Novara Media’s channel. Ms Hao and the interview cover the topics of her just published book, “Empire of AI”.
At the centre of her arguments are, that large language modules, and their use of resources, water, power, land and rare metals are a choice, and one that society cannot afford. She questions the business model of the AI industry, sees it as a threat to [US] wealth and notes its scofflaw approach to its own regulation. She is highly critical of the motivations of the oligarchs funding the AI bubble.
I have several pages of notes, which I shall post later, when polished on my blog. I found it fascinating exposition of these central arguments.
The video link is posted above, and having spent several hours getting to this point, rewatching the video, and making & polishing notes, I found this transcript at The Singju Post. This might have saved me work and time. At least, I can now concentrate on my own views.
