The CEOs of tech firms issue stark warnings over the rate of change, with AI capability doubling every four monthsRecently, Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, quit his job over concerns that AI was on a collision course with humanity. A flurry of headlines put the spotlight on the current crisis: unregulated competition between technology companies and between the US and China is putting our global infrastructure at risk at the very least, and threatening human existence at worst.One's mind fills with pictures of robot armies or systematic blackmail.

FBI Using AI To Stop School Shootings; Doomers Want It Paused
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,
While the same 'current thing' leftists who spent years on climate, oil and "Palestine" now chants that AI will wipe out the human race, FBI Director Kash Patel just announced that the agency is using the technology to actively prevent mass shootings, including school attacks, before they happen.
Patel said artificial intelligence helped the bureau prevent possible school shootings in North Carolina and about half a dozen other states, and that he has increased the FBI's use of AI by 605 percent.
That is the version of AI that the pause-and-treaty crowd does not want discussed.

The Guardian view on AI v mathematicians: humans are still vital to the field, but tech firms refuse to see that | Editorial (The Guardian)

OpenAI claims its agents have solved the Navier-Stokes problem. But questions remain about how useful and independent its work really isOn 8 September, OpenAI claimed that its AI agents had solved the Navier-Stokes problem, one of the most famous and difficult challenges in mathematics. Had a human solved it, they would have collected both prize money and plaudits from their fellows. The announcement instead ignited what some mathematicians have called an “existential crisis” in their field over the power of AI, and accusations that OpenAI misused human work.The maths behind Navier-Stokes is difficult to understand, but the critiques levelled by mathematicians will be familiar to artists, office workers, or anyone else concerned about AI. OpenAI's results, like any arising from a large language model, depend on digesting work by human mathematicians. The OpenAI paper cites sources, but many believe the company didn't give sufficient credit, especially to several mathematicians believed to be very cl...

Trump′s ′biggest miscalculation′? How one adviser steered the great AI freakout (The Guardian)

David Sacks convinced Trump against any restrictions on AI – putting the White House out of step with its own partyAs lawmakers from both sides of the aisle in the US have joined together calling for the regulation of powerful artificial intelligence models, one of the few vocal naysayers has been Donald Trump. He's called the perceived dangers of the technology a “hoax” and a “scam”, arguing that the government already has “tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies”.It's a starkly different stance from those of his former adviser Steve Bannon, the Republican Texas senator Ted Cruz and even the heads of the world's leading AI companies. But it's directly in line with the opinion of David Sacks – a prominent billionaire venture capitalist and Trump's onetime AI and crypto czar, who has pushed back publicly and forcefully against recent claims of an impending AI apocalypse.
