Rubbish. Artists/creators/tortured souls with berets and clove cigarettes don't get to define what art is or isn't.
Art is that which moves us, and "us" isn't a committee of gatekeepers; it's fractal down to the individual (or even the individual-circumstance) level.
Tech and Research roles | Remote (US) or on-site in Albuquerque
America First Policy Institute's Office for Fiscal and Regulatory Analysis is looking for coders, policy researchers (or the rare dual-skilled unicorns!) for several roles. Be part of the fastest growing public policy organization in America and do work with direct impact on your country.
I can't think of a single time in history that humanity responded to a threat in a fully coordinated manner. Maybe this is the first time, but the incentive stack from the individual voter all the way up to geopolitical grand strategy argues against it.
Trying to tell poor nations to remain poor -- or telling rich nations to consume less -- is a losing game. There's evidence that as societies get richer, their populations demand cleaner air, water, etc. And, as another commenter mentioned, a realistic hope is that the whole green-tech stack matures to the point where it can compete on price.
We'll either make lower-carbon/lower-warming solutions work at near-market rates, in a way that allows personal and national economies to grow, or it'll just be talk for the next 50 years as well.
The biggest impact of something like this -- thoughtful, nuanced and multidisciplinary -- is that it makes you remember just how bad the ocean of hot AI takes really is.
It's voluntary. There are jobs with less flexibility and lower pay. There are competitors in the market if you really have your heart set on a career in ridesharing.
It was more than interesting 100+ years ago -- it was the subject of wildly inconsistent, often fear-based (or incumbent-industry-based) regulation.
A vetoed 1896 Pennsylvania law would have required drivers who encountered livestock to "disassemble the automobile" and "conceal the various components out of sight, behind nearby bushes until [the] equestrian or livestock is sufficiently pacified". The Locomotive on Highways Act of 1865 required early motorized vehicles to be preceded by a person on foot waving a red flag or carrying a red lantern and blowing a horn.
It might not quite look like that today, but wild-eyed, fear-based regulation as AI use grows is a real possibility. And at least some of it will likely seem just as silly in hindsight.
Yep. Wholly apart from the value or lack of it in his points, I'm not taking that personal brand seriously.
