Generative AI technologies might make deceptions of all
kinds 10X easier and more widespread and dangerous.

 https://connectsafely.org/ai-has-risks-but-can-also-make-us-safer/

But they might make some tasks of daily life 10% easier!

You don't understand a technology until you understand
how bad guys understand it.      Like nuclear weapons,
it can't be put back in the bottle.

The threat is not that robots will spontaneously decide to
take over the world, but that people will direct them to
help them take over the world, quite likely with unforeseen
side effects.     And the answer to dangerous robots is
not more robots, any more than the answer to dangerous
guns is more guns.

Social media is not eternal.

They're in it for the money, right?    And dead people
generate very little revenue.

There are probably firms that promise to preserve
your digital presence, but are they any more reliable?
And consider that the expanding Sun will cremate everything
on earth in a few billion years anyway.

Silicon Valley real estate is not going to get suddenly
cheaper.      Talented and ambitious people still want
to come here to escape stifling homelands.    Here's how
those regimes kill the goose that laid the golden eggs -

 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/17/business/china-chatgpt-microsoft-openai.html

 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/business/tech-startups-israel.html

All innovation is threatening to a reactionary ruling
class.      So it's best to suppress it, except for
developing weapons to defend the ruling class.     That's
the narrow path that North Korea and Iran are trying to
follow, like the Soviet Union before them.

Will Israel and Xi China become like Afghanistan and Mao
China, so afraid of innovative thought that they don't
even try to keep up with weaponry?

People cluster around greedy egomaniacs in business for
the same reason as in politics - not because they like
them or consider them moral role models, but because they
hope to somehow get a piece of the action and somehow sell
it at the top.     But nobody rings a bell at the top -
business and technology usually follow an S-curve -

Those who are lucky often ascribe their success to personal
qualities rather than luck.

But hope springs eternal  -

Altman is back at OpenAI.    The JapanTimes version of
the article hasn't been updated yet!      How many people
bet the wrong way on that?     And when will we know which
was the wrong way?

The epistemological crisis - if fakes become undetectable -
how can anybody tell whether anything is true?

 https://brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/how-ai-puts-elections-risk-and-needed-safeguards

Will people return to a medieval trust in truth revealed
by self-proclaimed authorities?
