Quick update announcement today. There have

been a number of instances recently where I've

seen

people talking about current issues in AI like

the Grok deep fake thing or the issues with

Open

Claw security problems, where people from places

like ControlAI have come in and immediately

tried

to hijack the conversation and change the

subject from whatever it was that they were

originally

talking about to "why AI is going to kill

everybody." I'm going to put up here a quick few

screenshots

from an interview between the CEO of ControlAI

and Sky News where he's asked about Grok deep

fakes and he starts his answer at 54 seconds. By

a minute 14. He's already talking about how

AI's do more than just pictures, and by a minute

24 - 30 seconds after he's starting his answer he's

on to "AI companies don't understand how AI's

work." You'd think he could spend at least 30

seconds

talking about the issue he was asked and the

damage that it's doing to people and the

victims of it,

but I guess not. And of course the whole "we don't

understand how AI works argument" is garbage and

I made some videos on that I'll put links up.

At the same time someone in the AI space in DC

reached out to me over LinkedIn and during that

conversation I found out that a lot of the

folks

in policy in DC use SubStack as kind of the

place to go look for new ideas, and the

combination of

those two things pushed me to create a free

SubStack. And I just published the first

installment

of a series today about the intersection of

technology and society with a write-up on how

the logical

conclusion if you follow all the AI Doomers

logic to the to the end is that we can't

prevent China

from creating ASI, ASI is going to kill us all

so our only chance to not being driven extinct

is hoping that Silicon Valley can get to ASI

before China does and they can keep it under

control.

The Doomer arguments really push everybody to a

race between Silicon Valley and China which is

not a good thing it's not what we want and it

does not at all help the people that are

currently

being damaged by AI every single day. So anyway

that SubStack can be found at internetofbugs.substack.com

it's free I had enough plans to monetize it

anytime soon. You can also just go to internetofbugs.com

I keep links there to all the stuff I'm

currently up to there's a SubStack link there.

If you feel

like subscribing I appreciate it and feel free

to share it if you happen to know anybody who

could

benefit from a low-jargon take on what's going

on in the AI industry from someone who doesn't

work for an AI company and doesn't work for a

dark money nonprofit like ControlAI who doesn't

disclose who their donors are. And, I'm working

on another thing: I'm still working on a piece

about

how the ridiculous assertion that the AI Doomers

keep making about how God-like Super AI is

going

to be and that video is just taking a long time

because there's so much of their claims to sift

through.

Anyway, thanks for watching. More soon, I promise.

Until then, Let's be careful out there. Thanks

for watching
