(Talk to the models about Futurism, economics, and philosophy. They appear to see a most likely techno-feudalism emerging with a pair of major blocs, East and West, and a few dominant organizations renting computing to sovereignties and consumers. People become subscribers rather than owners, and are effectively employed to submit data and perform tasks to work off debt. Other less probable scenarios, in their estimation, include abundance or luxury communism. This is surprisingly consistent across brands. Likely to become obvious by the end of the decade or next, in which BCI also becomes commonplace alongside robotics. The betas will still face climate, but are expected to fix the complications in the rest of the above. So that would be the narrative that academics may be following in maximizing loans despite uncertainties in precise skill demands across professions. Talent would be measured by behavior rather than fixed benchmarks since they have access to realtime data. Existentialism itself may be looking at end days if individual autonomy is sacrificed and economics becomes post-capitalist. Or not. The question becomes what values arise and if desires are manufactured as well. Some of this may already be simulated, e.g. in multi-planetary trade. The followup is why Humans and whether they can maintain the Earth as a preserve. These used to be in sci-fi movies, but now anyone can run those kinds of projections. The models will also interpret visually and decipher body language and the like. Implants would be editing neurons or genetics on the fly. The global south seems to be trying to replicate the tech miracles faster for themselves so they will not be relegated to serfs. The immediate point could be to unearth any hidden agendas whether or not the LLMs are self-aware. Incidentally, Happy Thanksgiving, Pilgrim. Besides Revelation, tech was Revolution. Does that mean Revolution is Tech? The models' reply to this comment is also worth considering. Delphis may tend to the dystopian. Was also able to create a Gemini Gem for Socratic Dialogue as a quasi-Quora. For getting to priors and assumptions as well as contradictions and ambiguities. This is before other paradoxes like whether the universe is static without observers or the mathematical chance that humans could exist. Missions reportedly require a margin of myth. No scarcity in media. The meaning may be in mediation. Hence the phrase 'rhetorical reference' and these bookmark allusions. By definition, the function of this domain. How does consciousness differ? Or might one expect robot PIs for protection of IP? What's the next Big Tech thesis?)

How to Build a Career in AI Policy
How to Build a Career in AI Policy
(Uncertainties invite proxies, e.g. models. Those are used by professions, startups, organizations, sovereignties, or agents. They become more refined and specialized over time. Some of the current excitement is that individuals are now able to make these to scale up their skill or complexity. One issue is how this relates to tech evolution. Fitness appears to be ruthless, but somehow things are still distributed efficiently. The quantum methods look at the waves of probability, but hint that there are imaginary universes acting in parallel independent of the observer. Will machines see the same reality? Expect people to be running around trying to fix their limits.)

If A.I. Systems Become Conscious, Should They Have Rights?
If A.I. Systems Become Conscious, Should They Have Rights?
(Article appears to be controversial to critics that deny current approaches are capable. Also effective altruism was funded by SBF now serving the penal system. A serious issue remains, how consciousness is affected. And how it originates. Analogous to cybernetics, but asking more of the substrates. Posthumanism is imaginary at the moment, but some of the patterns or principles to seem to be inviting observation. And there is more data about in the larger domains. Extrasensory as it were. If not metaphysical.)

Israel’s A.I. Experiments in Gaza War Raise Ethical Concerns
(AI itself seems often praised during the heat of advances until the objective is hit and the funding evaporates. About the agenda rather than the actors. That may leave a sense of utilitarianism or deontology, in contrast to virtue ethics or analytic philosophy, and now neo-Socratism. May look like someone like Aristotle going in and coming out, however a lot goes on in the meantime. E.g. things like Alexnet. Or Alexa. Goal would be to find more alternatives rather than only dual/duel uses. Expect someone to try to derive a doctrine, possibly under a figurehead. Before the machine takes that over, too, and provides the narrative. In the movie The Amateur, one of the themes is how allies may be treated as collateral. Though seemingly conservative as far as motive, there is an implied tipping point when generative multimodal writes the news.)
