I am not American and my country is at odds with Trump..which is good. I wish we would take this as an opportunity to learn from the errors of the Global North instead of copy them as a development strategy. Thats the worst fusion of east and west.
Except by stopped clock syndrome, everything Trump does is a disaster. MJ reclassification aside I cant think of a thing he does that isnt fatuous.
And he is backing this huge push into AI and I really hope we dont follow suit. That stuff is such junk and its killing actually useful science and medicine and tech to make way for this low rent behavioral crap.
I hope my country uses this rift with Trump to go with a better fusion of ideas from across the world.
I am not precisely one world as I tend to notice all the most awful things everywhere since that seems to be what grows and thrives. (Possibly a slightly jaded take ;-/
)
But I feel if one is stuck with a connected world that should mean the best ideas from all parts of the planet rather than what seems to be happening..the worst, most myopic, self serving crap of use only to oligarchs thriving.
Thats what gifted the world with a Trump in the first place.
Mind you I wouldnt mind really high quality AI which would be nothing like the garbage we see everywhere. The only AI scientist I see who seems cool and like scientists who are normal scientists is Yan LeCun.
Speaking of AI that isnt a grating assault on the senses, I liked this piece on AI by Nicholas Carr..he is a tech critic I like..he is a conservative and I suspect a Bible banger (though hopefully not the Intelligent design amd Creationism kind).
But even so he is kinda cool.

The rare conservative I like. Old timey not this present horrifying brand. I wouldnt mind an AI like the one he describes. It would be modeled on humans who arent grating.
This contemporary type is based on the non-imaginations of this technocreep crowd. No wonder its awful and annoying and has the personality of a barbaric telemarketer.
