I rarely see a criticism of Bernie Sanders that isn’t some form of perfect solution fallacy and this comment is not one of them.

I’m sorry, like “Yes” but also, SIGH.

Cuz like;

1. He’s been doing this 70 years and he’s said it all already.

2. He’s been doing this 70 years and he’s too old to be the guy directing AI.

He’s been doing this 70 years and he’s too old to be the guy directing AI.

So why is he getting involved in AI?

here you go

Not a bad question. If I can tweak it a little:

Why is he getting involved in AI regulation, but only in this specific way?

Because pro-AI lobbyists (including a Silicon Valley cult leader) got to him.

Ban the slop easy as, they’re breaking a tonne of laws, and they’re pushing their costs onto everyone else.

“Data center moratorium”

• addresses concrete problems
• promises concrete solutions
• easy to target the biggest offenders

“gUaRdRaiLs”

• addresses vague problems
• requires undefined solutions
• helps the biggest offenders
• acts as free PR for the industry

Cap LLMs to 1 Trillion parameters, can utilize no more than 384GiB of (V)RAM.

Offenders go to jail (corporations charged as a criminal enterprise), all equipment seized and destroyed.

If these AI glazers really believed that AI is the threat they claim it is, then we should treat it the way we’d treat corporations if they tried developing their own nuclear weapons.

ban what? ban AI?

yes

How do you ban AI?

banning it? Like make a law, and make it a crime, or make a new law that clarifies that it’s already breaking a tonne of laws

What you are saying is to make a bunch of numbers illegal

That is a very stupid argument. everything can be represented as a group of numbers.
