Lots of fluff in this article and the site itself sucks. Here's the key paragraph:
One way to achieve this would be to impose a levy on the gross revenues of the largest AI providers, collected by a national or multilateral agency. As the technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life and production processes, the revenue flowing to AI firms is bound to grow – and so, too, will contributions to the fund. These resources could then be distributed by independent grant councils on multiyear cycles, ensuring that support reaches a wide range of disciplines and regions.
My biggest issue with this approach is that it fails to acknowledge that AI is a bubble currently propped up by venture capital. In 1-4 years all those investors are going to want their ROI, and AI companies are going to start turning the money crank hard.
What a bunch of fucking idiots. They could be increasing grants for AI research, offering fast-pass visas & citizenship paths to AI experts/PhDs from other countries, and working to increase the availability of necessary resources such as data centers and power. But nope! We're just letting the commercial businesses cut corners so they can profit off of it faster.
Pretty much sums up this administration in a nutshell.
TBH, I wouldn't be shocked to see a little sign like that somewhere in CP2077. There's some pretty detailed little dystopian shit tucked away in that game.
OpenAI lost like 5 BILLION dollars last year. With a 'B'. There is no way all these AI companies will ever see an ROI. Somebody (or more likely a lot of somebodies) will get left holding the bag.
Yeah, this is literally discrimination based inherently on race, gender, etc., but it's going to be considered totally fine because the mystical AI is doing it.
My buddy works with a big government org and they just let the engineers/SW devs "handle" all the design on their own. Sometimes they get kinda lucky and the dev took one or two UI/UX course back in school, but regardless they end up with a bunch of software that's all utility, no usability.
Joke's on them... I put normal porn on my work laptop so they think I'm into normal shit, then I watch the REA, fucked up porn on my personal PC.
